Ichinose RSX-Samurai - Inclined Rotary Screen Printing System for High-Speed Textile Production
Ichinose RSX-Samurai is an advanced inclined rotary screen printing system designed to deliver world-class printing quality with maximum production efficiency. The unique inclined design enables innovative features like color paste circulation, on-machine screen washing, and precision servo motor control - resulting in faster color changes, reduced waste, and consistent high-speed textile printing.
Ideal for textile mills and fabric printing facilities requiring high-volume production with quick color changes and minimal downtime. Perfect for printing on cotton, polyester, blends, and various fabric types with exceptional print quality.
Ichinose RSX-Samurai features a unique inclined rotary screen design that enables innovative capabilities not possible with conventional horizontal rotary printers. This inclined configuration is the foundation of all RSX-Samurai advantages - from continuous paste circulation to single-operator screen changes.
Unique inclined configuration optimizes paste flow and screen contact through gravity assistance. This is the foundation of all RSX-Samurai advantages - enabling circulation system, on-machine washing, and reduced waste that horizontal rotary printers cannot achieve.
Enabled by the inclined rotary design, the advanced circulation system ensures even color distribution and consistent printing results throughout the entire production run. Real-time color refreshing prevents viscosity changes and bubble formation common in conventional pipe feeding systems.
Integrated washing system cleans screens from top to down position without screen detachment. Screen position is retained after washing, eliminating re-adjustment time when changing colors.
Screen position is retained after washing - no re-registration required when changing colors. This eliminates registration errors and saves significant time during multi-color production runs.
Unlike conventional horizontal printers that require two operators for screen detachment, RSX-Samurai's inclined design enables single operator screen changes. No shower pipe obstruction - screens slide out smoothly with gravity assistance. This reduces labor requirements by 50%.
Unlike conventional magnetic block systems that apply pressure in segments, RSX-Samurai uses a one-body magnetic beam that applies even power to the whole area of the squeegee. Ensures uniform print density from edge to edge with no banding or pressure variation.
All rotary screen units are driven by a single AC servo motor system that ensures perfect synchronization and accuracy across all colors. Eliminates registration drift and maintains precise pattern alignment from start to finish. Automated screen adjustment takes only 2 min/screen vs 5 min/screen manual.
The slant printing system provides better fabric stability during printing, eliminating "snake running" (fabric shifting/wandering) that causes misalignment and print defects. Ensures straight, precise printing patterns even at high speeds.
The inclined design enables single operator screen handling - a significant advantage over conventional horizontal rotary printers that require two operators. This translates to 50% labor cost reduction for screen changes.
| Conventional Horizontal System | Ichinose Inclined System |
|---|---|
| ❌ Two operators required for screen detachment | ✓ One operator only can detach screen |
| ❌ Must pull out shower pipe before screen can be detached | ✓ No shower pipe obstruction - no need to detach pipe |
| ❌ Horizontal lifting - awkward, requires coordination | ✓ Inclined sliding - ergonomic, gravity-assisted |
| ❌ Longer setup time - multiple steps required | ✓ Faster screen changes - simplified process |
| ❌ Higher labor cost - 2 operators per change | ✓ Lower labor cost - 1 operator per change |
With single operator screen handling, RSX-Samurai reduces labor requirements by 50% compared to conventional rotary printers. For a factory with multiple color changes per day, this translates to significant annual labor cost savings.
Based on official production analysis comparing Ichinose RSX-Samurai with conventional rotary printing machines, the RSX-Samurai delivers significantly higher productivity through reduced setup times, faster color changes, and streamlined operations.
