Viper TX Professional – Purpose-built for Direct Fabric Printing |
 | A fully motorized heavy-duty unwinding system for rolls up to 150 kg incorporates a pneumatic shaft in combination with a fabric spreader & curved tension bar. The system delivers straight unwinding of stretch, knitted, woven, open structure fabrics and fabrics which are challenging to transport. A precise meander control system with photo cells left and right will accurately guide the fabric onto the integrated adhesive belt. The moving adhesive belt transports the fabric through the print area of the Viper TX Professional, guaranteeing perfect control over the fabric feeding and ensuring a stable and flat fabric surface during printing. An incorporated washing unit, consisting of a rotating brush & spray bar with a stainless steel water tank, cleans the adhesive belt to prevent ‘back printing’. A motorized heavy-duty winding system for media rolls up to 150 kg automatically rolls up the printed fabrics, ready for after-treatment. Proper fabric behaviour is monitored by sensors along the fabric path. |
