Project details

Platen Level Gauge

Stop wasting time with spacers or dial indicators. The NEW Platen Level Gauge is a visual diagnostic tool for leveling screen printing platens. It comes with instructions on how to assemble and use the tool, but most importantly, it includes a quality control method for maintaining level platens on a daily basis. No more quarters or tools that are not designed to properly level platens from left to right and front to back.

As with many procedures, once you get the hang of it, you can easily incorporate leveling into each run.

The RMP Platen Level Gauge Can Increase Quality & Performance

Three Problems

  1. Misregistration of print
  2. Uneven ink deposits, left to right & front to back
  3. Inaccurate color consistency

Three Ineffective Methods

  1. Spacers Abmbigous measurement vs. diagnostic.
  2. Dial Indicators: Measure one pinpoint area only.
  3. No measurement of levelness of platens.

One Diagnoistic Solution

  1. EZ to detect bent platens > replace
  2. Decrease down time and misprints.
  3. Improve Quality and Productivity.
  4. Save Money by doing it yourself.
  5. Implement RPM Platen Level Procedures (PLP) daily, weekly, monthy to maintain consistent levels resulting in quality prints.
