Assembly

Getting started:

Your Exposing Unit has been fully assembled and tested in our factory. Both lid lifting
cylinders have been removed from their upper mounting stud and secured to the side of the
cabinet. Follow the steps in this manual to reattach them. Be careful not to damage the
rubber vacuum blanket when removing the Exposing Unit from it's crating.
It is best to keep the lid locked closed when lifting the exposing unit. Carefully remove the
unit from its crate and place it on a suitable surface. It is important that the surface be flat, an
uneven surface can put stress on the glass causing it to crack.

Placing the equipment into service and operating the equipment:

To place equipment into service, follow steps 1-4 (if applicable to your unit) and 5 on page 5.
To operate your exposure unit, follow the instructions on page 6 and the troubleshooting and maintenance
instructions on pages 7-9.

Stability during use, transportation, assembling, dismantling when out of service, testing, and
foresee able breakdowns:

This equipment is designed to be stable under all foreseeable conditions if the instructions provided
herein are followed. Do not place the units into positions not shown in this manual (e.g., on their sides) and
do not operate with any parts removed unless necessary for troubleshooting.

Safe transport, handling, storage: when the equipment is transported, it should moved by two or more
people. No other special precautions are required. Refer to page 2 for unit masses.

Step 5

Operation

Pg. 6

Overview:

Your Exposing Unit is equipped with Black UV bulbs, a vacuum and exposure
timer, vacuum pump, and start button.
The vacuum pump draws the air out from between the blanket and glass. This
flattens the coated screen and positive to the glass making for a sharper exposed
image.

Doc. # 01-04-021F

1) Raise the exposing unit lid and wipe the
glass surface clean with a lint free rag.

2) Position the screen with positive attached
onto the glass and against screen stops.

NOTE: Do not position any screen outside of the
indicated max screen area on the glass. Damage
to vacuum blanket can result.

3) Lay the small string attached to the rear of
the exposing unit over the edge of the
screen. This will assist in achieving a good
vacuum in the center of the screen.

4) Lower the lid and lock closed with both
handles.

5) Set the vacuum timer to about 1 minute for
a single screen. And on the E1-4731, 1.5 –2
minutes for two screens. A test should be
done to determine the best vacuum time for
your screen. It is best to have the blanket flat
several inches larger than the image area.

6) Set Exposure Time.

E-100 Exposing Units use an analog timer,
rotate knob to set time.

E1-4731 units use a digital timer, push buttons
to set time.

Analog Timers:

Timers are factory set to a 0-3 minute scale and 0-30
minute scale (E-100 models only) for vacuum and
exposure. The mode in the upper right corner is set
to A. Adjust the time by turning the dial to the
desired amount of time. The time scale can be
adjusted if desired.

Adjusting the Analog Timer Time Scales:

Adjust the range and time scale by turning the
RANGE SELECT and unit selection screw with a
Philips head screw driver.

 Turning RIGHT increases the time scale
 Turning LEFT decreases the time scale

7) Push the start button. The vacuum timer
will start while the pump draws the blanket
down. After the vacuum timer completes, the
expose timer and lights will start and run for
the preset time. After the time has expired,
the lights and vacuum pump will
automatically shut off. The screen is now
exposed.

8) Unlock the lid to break the vacuum and
remove the screen.

set between 0-999
minutes.

Troubleshooting

Pg. 7

Doc. # 01-04-021E

Loss of Vacuum:

This can be caused by several problems. Check the
following items in order listed.

1) Verify that vacuum pump is running.

2) Examine the rubber blanket for holes or cuts.

3) Check that the holes in the back screen stops
are not blocked. Turn on the pump and verify
that there is vacuum through the stops.

4) Check that the clear tube protruding through left
side of cabinet wall is unobstructed. This is the
vacuum pump exhaust.

5) Verify that the back glass seal is not damaged.
If needed, loosen the front glass retainer plate
and rotate the cams clockwise with a flat blade
screwdriver. and retighten the front retainer.

6) There is a foam seal around the perimeter of the
lid between the rubber blanket and lid frame.
With the lid locked down, check that the lid seal
and blanket is contacting the glass at all four
sides. If this seal is not contacting the glass it
will be necessary to adjust the lid lower.

Proceed as follows. (Pictures below for
reference)

Remove both Lid Lifting Cylinders from their
upper mounting stud. Carefully lower the lid.

Rear Lid Adjustment:

E-100: Using a 7/16 wrench, loosen (4) bolts at each
back corner. Push down on lid to slightly compress
seal and retighten bolts.

E1-4731: Using a 1/2" wrench, loosen the top nut
1/2 turn then tighten the bottom nut 1/2 turn. This will
adjust the lid down .025". Do this to both sides until
vacuum seal is achieved

Front Lid Adjustment:

All Exposits: Using a 9/16 wrench, loosen (2) bolts
at each front corner about 1/8 of a turn. Tap on the
top bolt head slightly to move the bearing down. Be
careful to avoid moving it too much. For reference,
measure from the top of the bearing to the bottom of
the lid when closed, do not adjust more than 1/16 of
an inch.

7) Contact Vastex for technical support if these
steps fail to resolve the problem.

Light Troubleshooting:

If a bulb fails to light, it will be necessary to remove
the glass to get to the bulbs (see next page).
Remove the faulty bulb and switch it to another
location on the light tray. If the bulb still does not
light the bulb must be replaced. If the bulb does light
there is a wiring problem. Contact Vastex for
technical support.

Glass Removal / Installation

There are three glass retainers. One on each
side to square the glass to the rear seal and one
in the front with special cams. The cams are used
to gently push the glass back against the rear
seal.

1) Remove the cams and front retainer. Slide
the glass towards the front to remove.
Carefully set glass on a flat, protected
surface. The cams are used to gently push
the glass back against the rear seal.

2) It is important to keep the inside of the
cabinet clean. It is a good idea to vacuum out
any loose debris from inside the cabinet.
Refer to the replacing a light bar if needed.

Wear gloves when handling the
glass. Glass is tempered and
although strong, can shatter if the
edges are subjected to an impact.

4) Reinstalling the glass.
Before installing the glass, switch the

vacuum pump on and off to verify it is
functioning properly. Clean both sides of the
glass with glass cleaner and a lint free rag.
Vacuum inside of cabinet. Position the glass
seal side down, blue tape towards the front,
on the front edge of the cabinet, and between
the side retainers. Slide glass back until it
contacts and it seated squarely against the
back seal. Place the front glass retainer and
the three cams against the glass front. Install
the screws but only snug the screws. Using a
1/4” flat screw driver in the cam slots, rotate
each cam to push the glass back. Do not
over tighten the cams but apply enough
pressure to make a seal. Now tighten the
center screws. If the vacuum leaks, go back
and tighten the cams a bit more.

3) Bulb Installation/Removal

Be sure your hands are clean or clean
gloves are used. Install a bulb by inserting

the pins on the end of the bulb into their
holders mounted on the light tray. Rotate
bulbs 90 degrees until it clicks in place. Test
the bulbs before installing the glass.

a) Plug in the power cord.
b) Turn the exposing unit on.
c) Set the vacuum timer to “0”.
d) Press the START button.

All lights should now be on. If any light is not
working, check that the pins are not bent and
are correctly seated into the bulb holders.
Removal of bulbs is the reverse of
installation.

Note: The glass must be tight
against the back glass seal in
order to make a good vacuum.
Special cams help to apply
pressure. Do not over tighten.

Emulsion information

Pg. 10

for the screen printer

A technical information article
by Douglas Grigar

Screen printers have available six types
of photoreactive stencil materials. There
are three direct emulsion choices,
diazo, diazo/photopolymer (dual cure),
and SBQ-photopolymer. There are also
three photo reactive film choices,
indirect film, direct/indirect film, and
photoreactive capillary films.

Diazo emulsions are the least
expensive and the first of the three
emulsion types available on the market.
Diazo emulsions are mid range in
available exposure latitude and can
have good edge definition. Drawbacks
are that many require hardeners for
long runs or water resistance lower
solids content is often needed for
reasonable viscosity.

Diazo Photopolymer emulsions are
hybrids of the diazo and photopolymers
and are also called dual cure. Dual cure
emulsions are the newest available
emulsions. Due to the hybrid nature
they have the largest available feature
and quality range. Dual cure emulsions
will have the largest exposure latitude
and are available in various levels of
water and solvent resistant features.
Dual cure emulsions generally have the
best resolution, definition, and bridging
qualities. Dual cure emulsions are
midrange in price, and higher solids
content versions are available with
reasonable viscosity.

SBQ- Photopolymer emulsions are
very fast in their exposure speeds but
also have the smallest exposure
latitude. They are pre mixed and have
the longest shelf life. Pure
photopolymer emulsions are the most
expensive and are best matched with
high quality single point exposure
systems. Pure photopolymer emulsions
have good resolution, definition, and
bridging qualities. Pure photopolymer
emulsions have the highest solids
content available with reasonable and
often excellent viscosity.

The solids content in an emulsion does

example would be that pure
photopolymer emulsions are available
in very high solids content with low
viscosity. Emulsion viscosity can also
change with temperature. Lower
temperatures cause the emulsions to
thicken. Solids content less than 30%
with low viscosity are often difficult to
coat without a mess. In addition, lower
solids percentage will require multiple
coatings to achieve reasonable mesh
coverage.

Fig. 1

Emulsion Over Mesh or EOM is a
measurement of the emulsion thickness
on the face or substrate side of the
mesh. EOM is a percentage of the
mesh thickness. (Fig. 1) Too low of an
EOM ratio will prevent a good gasket
seal, prevent good detail resolution,
and increase chances of saw tooth
edges. Manufacturers recommend an
EOM ratio of 10 to 20 percent.

With an emulsion stencil, more is not
better. Too much emulsion on the face
of the screen can cause difficult ink
transfer and details can break down in
a run. Emulsion drip from the mesh
while drying is a definite indication that
the coated emulsion is too thick.

Your emulsion manufacturer can
recommend a coating procedure for
each mesh count using a rounded or
sharp coating edge.

Fig. 2

The step coating procedure (Fig. 2) is
used to coat a screen to find your best
coating technique for that mesh count.
The step coating procedure starts with
a stroke on the face of the mesh. Then

coat the squeegee side once over the
entire screen. Coat again the squeegee
side on only two thirds of the screen,
then coat again one third of the
squeegee side (all wet on wet).

Dry your screen as normal. When dry,
face coat with the sharp edge of the
squeegee two thirds of the screen from
a crossing direction (perpendicular)
then dry face up. When the screen is
dry apply the last coat of emulsion on
the face side covering only one third of
the same direction as the last face coat,
then dry. With the face coatings there
will be nine examples of coating
thicknesses. Pick an exposure time that
fits the median coating technique and
expose the screen with a test positive
that covers all of the coating changes.

Wash out and dry as normal. Now you
can view the emulsion with a loop or
microscope. Inspect the changes in
thickness, then print with this screen
and inspect the printed results. With the
printed results compared to the visual
inspection, the best coating technique
for that mesh count can be determined.
Standardized mesh thread thickness
and weave for each mesh count is
needed for consistent and reliable
results.

The step coating procedure can be
used while eliminating some of the
steps, or replace the face coatings with
all wet on wet coating strokes.

All manufacturers recommend drying
coated screens with the face down
(squeegee side up) in a horizontal
position. A slightly elevated temperature
(not over 110 deg. F.), in a filtered
drying room or cabinet, will dry screens
in record time, often less than half an
hour. A dehumidifier will drop emulsion
drying time further.

Fig 3

Once the screen is dry, direct emulsion
will dry and conform to the profile of the
mesh fabric causing small hills and dips
in the surface. The smoothness of the
dry emulsion can be measured and is
represented by the term Rz value. (Fig.

3) The lower the Rz measurement
number the smoother the surface.

Fig. 4

Pg. 11

Surface smoothness can affect your
substrate to stencil gasket. The lower
Rz numbers will be produced only by
machine coating or film products.
Direct/indirect and capillary films will
produce the lowest Rz numbers
possible for screen stencils. High solids
content emulsions and face coating
(second or more coats of emulsion over
dry first coatings) can also lower your
Rz measurements. (Fig. 4) Exact EOM
and Rz numbers can only be measured
by special testing equipment.

Indirect film products are
presensitized emulsions on film. They
are produced to expose and develop
before they are attached to the screen
mesh. Indirect film has fallen out of
general use as products that are easier
to use and have superior reproduction
properties are now available.

Capillary films are a photosensitive
emulsion layered onto a film backing.
(Fig. 5) The name is indicative of the
action that causes the adhesion,
capillary action. With wet screen fabric
the film will draw into the mesh when
placed in contact with the face of the
screen.

Capillary films suffer from past bad
reputation for delamination (Fig. 6) the
current products available are capable
of long runs and excellent detail.
Capillary films produce the lowest Rz
numbers possible and can save large
amounts of screen room production
time.

Direct/indirect film products
(combination stencils) are two-part film

and emulsion combinations. Films
assure low Rz numbers and high detail
print quality. Direct emulsions produce
high stencil durability. Direct/indirect film
systems combine the best features of
direct emulsion and film products,
creating a strong, high definition stencil
that will make longer runs possible with
direct emulsion.

Direct/indirect film products require a
coating of direct emulsion. Then the film
can be adhered to the face (substrate
side) of the screen. One method is to
coat the screen (one stroke on each
side of the screen) then place the
screen (squeegee side up) on the film
(emulsion side up) and stroke the
squeegee side of the screen with a low
