6-color printing machine ORBITER™

The M&R ORBITER™Automatic Direct to Film (DTF) Application System is a versatile rotary heat transfer machine. The ORBITER is specifically engineered to support the M&R QUATRO™ DTF product line. The design encompasses 40 years of M&R carousel machine engineering with precision pressure and speed upgrades necessary to support optimal DTF transfer application. With a full-color touchscreen HMI, adjustable place and peel settings, and robust, reinforced construction, the ORBITER is adaptable to all your application requirements. The ORBITER’s rotary indexing base splits the application time over multiple heat press platens to produce more than 360 transfers per hour under optimal conditions. This transforms passive “waiting” time into active pressing time. The ability to automatically load and unload transfers removes repetitive tasks associated with DTF transfer pressing. The speed increase dramatically outperforms the traditional single-platen heat press process. The ORBITER supports one piece flow and Just-in-Time manufacturing models. FEATURES • Over 360 transfers per hour with a single operator • Auto load and auto peel stations increase efficiency and eliminate non-value-added manual labor • Cycle time is reduced by splitting active heat press time between multiple stations • Flexible configurations • Reduces sheen • Softens hand
