An additional cover plate on the heating platen helps protect the user from accidental burns during operation. The automatic opening function further enhances safety by reducing the need for manual handling.
- Automatic Opening
The Secabo TC5 LITE features an automatic opening mechanism that activates once the pre-set pressing time has elapsed. This allows the user to multitask without constantly monitoring the press. The pressing cycle can also be interrupted at any time at the push of a button. - User-friendly Interface
Temperature and pressing time are conveniently set using a digital controller, ensuring precise and consistent transfer results. The clear interface makes the press easy to operate, even for less experienced users. - Adjustable Pressure
Contact pressure is easily adjusted using a large handwheel located on top of the heating plate. This allows accurate pressure control to suit different materials, ensuring reliable results across various heat transfer processes.
