Cylinder-bed printing for roll-fed materials
The WL-500GT is a single-color cylinder-bed screen printing machine supplied in an oven-drying configuration. Its catalogue highlights handling intended to reduce scratching, making surface condition an important part of the application review.
The listed equipment includes an unwinding unit, the printing machine, a feeding unit and a drying oven. The cylinder-bed designation describes the printing configuration; this model processes roll-fed material and should be selected around the web and the required printed result.
Key machine and handling features
- Cylinder-bed printing configuration: a dedicated printing support arrangement for single-color web printing.
- Surface-handling focus: the catalogue identifies scratch reduction as a machine feature. Evaluate the result with your actual substrate and coating.
- Integrated material-handling units: the illustrated configuration includes a guided unwinding unit and suction-assisted material pulling.
- Oven-drying workflow: a drying oven is listed with the machine, with settings to be matched to the ink and material.
- 500 mm maximum web width: the catalogue lists a 500 × 800 mm print area and an 800 × 1000 mm screen frame.
- Servo-driven printing and feeding: the specified squeegee servo is 0.75 kW and the material-feed servo is 1.8 kW.
Review surface quality and job format
Send the substrate, thickness, surface treatment and examples of any marking that must be avoided. Sample evaluation should cover material transport, the printed finish and the effect of drying on the surface.
The catalogue lists a maximum print area of 500 × 800 mm and a maximum feed length of 500 mm as separate specifications. Provide the required artwork size and print repeat so the usable job format can be confirmed before ordering.
For installation, the stated main machine dimensions are 3600 × 1300 × 1600 mm. The main machine uses a listed 220 V supply and the drying oven a 380 V supply. Confirm the full line footprint, electrical load and drying requirements with the final configuration.
