New Bottle Printer Launched

American M&M has launched the AM-180 for the high quality imprinting of bottles and other cylindrical objects. The printer synchronises the rotation of the object with the screen's movement to produce a sharp image in exact registration, and the print stroke has a sharp cut-off to prevent the squeegee from coasting into the next print cycle. It also has a faster and more accurate in feed with better positioning. The AM-180 can deliver up to 1200 items per hour, accepts cylindrical objects of up to 6 inches in diameter and has a variable speed drive that is powered by a DC motor.
