The first of Coates Screenıs new
automated screen stretching machines has been commissioned at the UK
companyıs Central Screen Supplies facility at the Bardon location, in the
presence of none other than Marcel Grünig and Hugo Gmur. The innovative
Grünig G 260 is designed with the CD industry in mind, although it has
uses elsewhere where frame sizes and the nature of the work are suitable.
It has the ability to stretch and glue 9 CD frames at once, using two
computer controlled stretching tables. As soon as the specified tension
has been achieved, the adhesive is delivered automatically by a robot
gluing arm. The combination with Sefarıs PCF mesh is extremely powerful;
it ensures the UK stretching service can supply CD screens of a regular
and consistent standard, to the very highest quality. Other investment at
the unit includes new sandblasting equipment, for improved frame
preparation, degreasing and cleaning, making it the UKıs most advanced
and productive commercial mesh stretching unit.
