A world first in the heat transfer press market: the Secabo TC SMART series with a Bluetooth transfer app!
The TC SMART series features a Bluetooth interface for the first time and can be controlled using the free Secabo Transfer app.
At FESPA 2017 in Hamburg, Secabo unveiled its two new transfer presses, the TC5 SMART and TC7 SMART, for the first time – the very first smart transfer presses ever!
Here is a brief review of the trade fair from the trade journal TVP
The controller for the automatic knee-lever presses features a Bluetooth interface for the first time and can be controlled using the free Secabo Smart Transfer app. This app not only handles the control functions, but also features the most comprehensive database currently available on the market, containing suitable transfer parameter combinations for textiles and transfer media.
The controller for the TC5 SMART and TC7 SMART transfer presses is fitted with a Bluetooth interface which, when used with the free Secabo Smart Transfer app for Android and iOS, allows the press to be controlled whilst providing access to a comprehensive database of functions. For users, this means: simply enter the fabric type and the transfer material, and you’ll immediately have access to numerous suitable combinations for temperature, time and pressure.
Thanks to the Secabo Smart Transfer app, you can not only press using the manufacturers’ recommended settings, but also choose from a wider range of possible transfer parameters for each medium. For example, the app takes higher contact pressures into account. This can significantly reduce pressing times in some cases, thereby increasing efficiency in textile transfers. The Secabo Smart Transfer app’s database eliminates the need for time-consuming trial and error to find parameters that work but differ from the manufacturer’s specifications .
Additional functions, such as an extra time allowance for positioning a protective film or silicone mat, are available, as are the calculation of heating times and warning functions. This makes the app a valuable aid for all standard heat transfer processes.
The TC5 SMART and TC7 SMART models are available with working areas of 38 cm x 38 cm and 40 cm x 50 cm respectively, and are optimised for professional use with all standard heat transfer processes. Both models have a modular design and can optionally be fitted quickly and easily with interchangeable plates in various formats, a quick-change system and a slide extension.
An overview of the features:
- A world first for transfer presses: a Bluetooth interface for the Secabo Smart Transfer app, featuring its own transfer database and numerous additional features
- Digital controller for temperature, time, pre-pressing, counting function and many other features
- 100% new design and new electronics, including display and control system
- Automatically opening toggle-lever press
- Adjustable force for opening and closing the press
- Modular design, compact dimensions, lightweight components
- Suitable for all standard transfer processes
The new Secabo TC SMART models are expected to be available at the end of June 2017. As demand is already high, it is therefore worth placing a pre-order to avoid even longer waiting times.
