Mobile palletising system LINK™

automatic

M&R’s Link™ Pallet mobile pallet system (U.S. Patent Nos. 9,315,063 and 9,315,012) makes it easy to move substrates between screen printing presses and direct-to-garment digital printers without loss of registration. The foundation of Link is a pallet base with a built-in micro-registration system and spring-loaded pallet locators. The mobile pallet consists of an aluminum pallet that locks into position on the pallet base. The mobile pallets and the adhered substrate can then be moved from machine to machine at will without affecting substrate registration. The Link Pallet system delivers phenomenal results on garments that require additional colors or types of garment decoration that may not be achievable on a single machine. It lets operators save time and money by printing the universal portion of the image on a screen printing press and finish the garment by printing the customized portion on a digital printer. This minimizes the use of far-more-expensive digital inks—and speeds up the digital printing process because required coverage is normally far less on the customized portion of the image. Operators using the Link Pallet system have the option of starting the printing process on a digital garment printer and moving to a screen printing press.
