Product Description
High-Speed Precision for Multi-Color Printing
English Data Sheet | Spanish Data Sheet
(U.S. Patent # 5,784,932)
• Unmatched Productivity: Achieve up to 3,600 cycles per hour, making it ideal for high-volume production.
• Precision Engineering: Patented servo motor drive with zero backlash ensures repeatable accuracy within +/- .001” (0.025mm), allowing for detailed four-color process and multi-color printing.
• High-Speed UV Curing: Features a patented UV shutter escapement for precise curing exposure, enhancing print quality and efficiency.
• Reliable Performance: Systematic Automation’s Hollow Ring high-speed indexer is at the core, delivering consistent, super-precise results every time.
The Model NCC is the ultimate solution for businesses needing high-speed, precision screen printing—designed to boost productivity and ensure exceptional multi-color print quality.
NCC Installation Specifications
What your facilities team needs to plan an NCC install — utilities, footprint, and what arrives on the truck. Figures based on the two-color machine.
| Specification | Detail |
|---|---|
| Shipping weight (two-color) | Approx. 3,200 lb (1,450 kg) |
| Pneumatic requirement | 8 cfm at 80 psi (550 kPa) |
| Electrical requirement | 3-phase, 208 V, 60 Hz — international voltages and frequencies available; final requirement depends on the UV unit |
| Max screen frame | 24″ (610 mm) front to back |
| Printing surface height | 40″ (1016 mm) floor to top of printed product — adjustable to 43″ (1092 mm) to match operators or in-line automation |
| Dial sizes | 80″ (2,032 mm) Hollow Ring dial standard · 96″ (2,438 mm) dial available for larger color configurations |
| Off-contact (Z axis) | Hand-wheel adjustable — runs as close as .002″ (.050 mm) off the printing surface, with a range of several inches |
| Typical delivery | About 12 weeks · ships via air-ride padded van, no crating required (common carrier with crating available) |
Specifications based on the two-color machine and may vary with configuration.
Built to Fit Your Line
- Parts that match forever — major components are CNC machined in-house from CAD in Farmington, so replacements match the originals exactly.
- Height-matched to your line — the adjustable printing surface height lets the NCC sit flush with upstream and downstream automation.
- Same platform, cylindrical work — the Hollow Ring dial also drives the ColorCup Pro for cups. For curing, see LED curing modules; for tight film-to-part alignment, the optical registration system.

Pretreatment
Your product surface may require pretreatment to promote ink adhesion. Products ordered in bulk may have oil contaminants or other residue as well as having poor surface tension, which can be remedied by flame pretreatment. Pretreatment integration is done by installing a burner on your machine that will provide flame to your entire surface area. If your product is cylindrical, it will spin 360 degrees, parallel with the burner and if it is flat, the flame system will move to cover your product area. Burners are made in house and to size. Pretreatment is done prior to printing your product.
