TC-1300CTS Computer to Screen Plate Machine

The TC-1300CTS is a digital screen-making system that uses a 405 nm UV laser to image mesh screen plates directly from computer files (no film), offering high resolution, improved efficiency, and lower running costs compared with traditional exposure methods.

It uses a high-power 405 nm UV laser module together with high-precision linear motor drives and a water-cooling system to expose the screen directly from digital data (laser direct-to-screen), eliminating the need for film positives.

The machine accepts Gerber274X files. Prepare artwork in the specified Gerber274X format per your prepress workflow; contact your supplier if you need format-conversion guidance.

Maximum screen frame size is 1200 mm x 1300 mm. The maximum imaging area is 1100 mm x 1100 mm.

The machine supports screen frames with thicknesses (depth) from 20 mm to 40 mm.

Overall size is 2930 mm x 1900 mm x 1650 mm and the weight is approximately 280 kg. It uses 4 support points; each support point is rated for up to 10 kN. Ensure your floor can support this load and allow space for operator access and maintenance.

Rated voltage is single-phase 220 V / 50 Hz and maximum power consumption is 4 kW. Verify site electrical capacity and dedicated circuit requirements before installation.

Yes. The rated compressed air pressure is 0.4 MPa. Use clean, dry, regulated compressed air and fit appropriate filters and regulators as recommended.

The laser head service life is specified at 8,000 hours or more. Actual lifetime depends on usage patterns and maintenance; replace the laser module per the supplier's instructions when performance degrades.

The system uses water cooling for the laser module. Regular maintenance includes checking coolant level and quality, replacing coolant per schedule, inspecting hoses and fittings for leaks, and keeping the cooling radiator and filters clean.

No. This is a laser direct-to-screen system—no film positives are required, which reduces materials and processing steps.

Follow laser-safety regulations: use required interlocks and protective enclosures, wear appropriate eyewear if access to beam is possible, ensure proper ventilation or fume extraction for screen processing fumes, secure electrical grounding, and train operators on safe operation and emergency shutdown.

Routine maintenance typically includes cleaning optics and windows, keeping rails and linear guides clean and lubricated, checking and replacing air filters, maintaining the water-cooling system, inspecting belts and mechanical components, and scheduling periodic calibration and alignment checks.

Imaging speed depends on artwork complexity, screen mesh and coating, exposure settings and resolution chosen. For typical throughput figures and to size production expectations, request sample throughput data from the supplier or ask for a machine demo using your workflow.

Spare parts, service, and warranty terms are supplied by the manufacturer or authorized dealer. Contact your supplier for details on warranty coverage, recommended spare parts to stock (e.g., laser module, optics, filters), and service agreements.
