Vacuum Manual Screen Printer

The FA-HandF Flatbed Vacuum Manual Screen Printer is a high-precision manual screen printing machine engineered by FINECAUSE specifically for thin, lightweight substrates. Equipped with a high-efficiency vacuum suction bed, it instantly secures thin paper, plastic sheets, glass, and flexible materials to completely eliminate slippage, warping, and misregistration during printing.

Featuring a dual-mode vacuum activation system (Foot Switch / Contact Sensor), the machine significantly enhances operational workflow and efficiency. Combined with FINECAUSE's proprietary Z-axis height adjustment handwheel, operators can quickly adapt to varying workpiece thicknesses without tedious manual leveling, vastly boosting productivity in sample development, short-run production, and precision printing.

FA-HandF Key Features

• Dual-Mode Vacuum Control System (Smooth & Efficient Operation): Provides two flexible suction activation options to streamline the screen printing process:
  • Foot Switch Mode: Turn on the red switch; press the foot pedal once to start vacuum suction, and press again to stop—giving you full manual control.
  • Contact Sensor Mode: Equipped with proximity sensors on the screen frame clamp. When lowered, metal contact plates activate vacuum suction automatically; lifting the screen instantly turns off suction for seamless continuous printing.
• High-Power Vacuum Tabletop: Driven by a 1HP (0.75 kW) vacuum blower paired with micro-perforated holes (Ø 1mm diameter with 20mm pitch), providing uniform hold-down force to ensure zero substrate movement during squeegee strokes.
• Z-Axis Handwheel Adjustment Mechanism: FINECAUSE's self-developed elevation structure allows smooth adjustment of screen height and parallelism via a simple handwheel turn—eliminating tedious leveling steps for fast job changeovers.
• Ergonomic Platform Design: Optimized tabletop height and open working area reduce operator fatigue during long manual printing sessions.
• Flexible Elevation & Precision Fine-Tuning: Accommodates workpiece heights up to 200mm while allowing easy adjustment of screen angle and parallelism, offering both high versatility and rigidity.

Applicable Materials

Ideal for manual screen printing on various thin substrates requiring flat vacuum hold-down:

• Paper & Cardstock: Precision business cards, specialty paperboard, packaging proofs.
• Plastic Films & Sheets: PET, PVC, PC films, nameplate stickers, flexible printed circuits (FPC).
• Optical & Rigid Thin Sheets: Thin glass plates, metal sheets, acrylic sheets, light guide panel samples.
