Description
Unmatched accuracy
Perfect for today’s high definition print jobs, the patented PlateMaster™ offers a combined shaft and cylinder runout of less than 7/10,000th of an inch. This is the printing system your decorator operators dream of.
One-tool registration
The only tool required to complete fine registration is a small hex head wrench requiring only two adjustments. A precision rack & pinion system connecting the cylinder and the hub controls radial adjustments. Simply rotate the adjustment screw right or left to make the registration pins rotate clockwise and counter-clockwise. The linear (in/out) registration adjustment coupled with the rack & pinion adjustment makes registration simple, fast and extremely easy.
Cut down on downtime
You remove the 11½ lb (5.2 kg) cylinder simply by loosening the hex head screw in the center of the cylinder hub. It takes just seconds. We even include a cylinder mounting tool to assist in handling cylinder changeovers. With lightning fast plate changes, you’ll get more production out of your Rutherford decorators than you ever thought possible.
No hammer required
The double-end expanding mandrel is the heart of The PlateMaster™ assembly. The cylinder won’t jam or swell on the shaft because the fingers of the expanding mandrel contract, allowing free removal of the cylinder even when heat from running the machine causes the cylinder body to expand. No pounding on the cylinder to remove.
