CtS Exposure Inline Automation

# STM CtS IN-LINE OPTION

Modular automation concepts ranging from loading stations to fully automated, print-ready stencil production.

[Request Quote](/en/contact/quote)

## Description

Using IN-LINE / CtS installations with direct exposure is where the future of a professional screen preparation lies. The essential advantages of this combination are obvious: No film expenses, no film storage, less retouching efforts, improved printing quality, a higher degree of flexibility, shorter setting-up times, higher production outputs and motivated staff members. This concept lowers the costs per screen.

### **Quick facts**

* Max. screen format: different sizes available
* IN-LINE concepts designed for MODULAR extension, for use with SignTronic's Stencil Master
* Loading/unloading stations for unpretentious IN-LINE solutions
* Loading/unloading feeder magazine with 10 storing positions
* Developing installations for automatic washing-out after direct exposure
* Blow-off modules for an automatic preliminary screen drying after the development process
* Upstream coating systems for a maximum automation degree
* Dryer modules for coated or developed screens
* U-TURN and room-to-room solutions possible upon request
* Customized solutions, adapted to the particular room situation

### **Modular IN-LINE concept: Excellent Screens XS**

The choice of your optimal IN-LINE solution largely depends on your particular requirements and needs. The higher the degree of standardization, the more extension possibilities are available for your convenience. StencilMaster are designed for modular extension with GRUNIG IN-LINE systems. A modular concept is capable of growing along with your requirements.

### **TEX-Series automation levels:**

---

### **STM BASIC-one**

* Partially automated IN-LINE exposing system including:
* StencilMaster CtS direct exposing
* Single-slot loading and unloading stations

One screen on exposing and the nex already loade --> the basic automation!

---

### **STM BASIC-5.1 / 10.1 / 20.1 / 30.1**

* Partially automated IN-LINE exposing system including:
* StencilMaster CtS direct exposing
* 5, 10, 20 or 30-slot loading and unloading station located on one side of the STM
* Single-slot loading and unloading stations

Set a 10-Job queue for screen exposing and let go! You only need to develop the screens and get them printed!

---

### **STM BASIC-5.2 / 10.2 / 20.2 / 30.2**

* Partially automated In-Line exposing system including
* StencilMaster CtS direct exposing
* 5, 10, 20 or 30-slot loading and unloading station located on both sides of the STM

Set a job queue for up to 30 screens exposing and let go! You only need to develop the screens and get them printed!

---

### **STM-PRO-one**

* Fully automated IN-LINE stencil making system including:
* StencilMaster CtS direct exposing
* Automatic developing unit G-WASH 175 CtS version and
* Single-slot loading and unloading stations

One screen on exposing, one on developing and third already loaded:
Handle up to three screens in job queue --> get them out: **ready to print!**

---

### **STM-PRO-5 / 10 / 20 / 30**

* Fully automated IN-LINE stencil making system including:
* StencilMaster CtS direct exposing
* Automatic developing unit G-WASH 175 CtS version and
* up to 30-slot loading and unloading magazines

This is the **"don't worry"** package:
Handle up to 30 screen in an automated job queue --> get them out: **ready to print!**
