Why buy TAS?
TAS screen printing machines are recognised worldwide as extremely reliable machines, simple to operate and with very low running and maintenance costs. This is not just an accident, it is our philosophy and our intention at all times to keep these costs as low as possible.
How do we do this?
Firstly, all components used have a test period where they are put under actual test conditions for a period
of 4 million operations, and then assessed for wear and tear. Only then we'll decide if we are going to use them.
Cost of replacement parts
Of all the parts used in a TAS machine 85% of the parts can be purchased locally
anywhere in the world. Unlike a number of our competitors who make a point
of making "specialised parts" for their machines, then require you to come back
to them for spare parts.
Engineering Design
It's no secret that we do not rush in and continually change the design of our machine like many of our competitors and we intend to stay that way.
Printing Registration Accuracy
Registration with a TAS machine is down to half the thickness of a single strand of hair and that will remain for a life time of use of our machine (30 years or more) and this can only be achieved with a machine base and rotor /stator assemble that is strong and rigid and for that you need to have a large mass of metal.
Simple to Operate
How easily an operator can understand and use our machine is of vital importance to us at TAS and this is the bases of how we designed and produced our Touch Panel Control (TPC) and to what extent we go to using electronics to control the machine.
The TPC on a TAS is the control centre and while we use electronics to manage the functions of the machine we have not gone overboard as others have but kept it simple and easy for the operator to understand.
Safety Features
Safety of the operator using our machine is paramount and along with the use of safety cables around the machine which when disengaged will stop the machine we also use a laser beam across the load and unload area for additional safety of the operator.
Printing Speed (Garments printed per hour)
There has been much said about how fast a machine can print but the facts remain that on average a person loading a complete Tee Shirt will average around 450-500 garments per hour and the same person loading and unloading a panel will average 700-750 panels per hour.
So what's the difference between us and our competitors?
We ENSURE quality and long life reliability
It's simply impossible for us to list all our benefits. Please feel free to contact us
for further details. We'll be happy to answer your every question. We pride
ourselves in our customer satisfaction, and once you tried our machine, you'll understand why.
Secondly, the parts tested and finally used in the manufacture of our machines
are always checked to see if they are readily available world wide so that you
the end user can obtain them locally to where you are , quickly and without too much down time.
You can purchase your spare parts direct from TAS at any time via our
web site by clicking here.
At TAS, we use standard,off the shelf components where possible to save you the end user time and money.
TAS, unlike some of our competitors do not see spare parts as a cash cow to
subsidising sales discount of new machines sales.
It is our promise to you that TAS will at all times keep the cost
of our spare parts down to an absolute minimum.
Our machines have built a reputation over many years of testing and improvements and this give you the end user the reliability you so much need.
We are always looking at new product to replace the various components we use but the criteria for acceptance for these new items is tough and if they are to be used they must:
a) Do the job better than the component they are replacing
b) Be a stronger and last longer.
c) Be cost effective.
d) Improve machine performance or durability.
To maintain this accuracy TAS uses only
solid ground and hardened Aluminium pallets for the garments to be printed on and these pallets (unlike the honeycomb type used by other manufactures that easily are dented) will last a life time and are guaranteed under normal use to last the lifetime of the TAS machine which is between 20-30 years on average.
All components that are a part of the stator and rotor assembly are wash ground before being powder coated to make certain everything is completely flat and accurate.
This commitment to strong engineering principles has given TAS the name of being the very best you can buy in screen printing machines.
All TAS machines in the 2000/3000 series of machines will print up to
1200 garments per hour and the Hawk series will print up to
900 garments per hour.
