M&R COBRA™ E Automatic Screen Printing Press

• Smooth, quiet operation

• Pneumatic-locking, Quick-Flip™ front frame Holders

• Upgraded precision front and rear micro adjustments

M&R’s COBRA™ automatic screen printing presses set the standard in combining quality components, durable craftsmanship and high speed production all in one machine.

The COBRA series of presses provide operators with time-saving features needed for quick setups—electric printheads, tool-free squeegee/floodbar angle adjustments with air locks, pneumatic frame locks, and independent squeegee/flood speeds with digital displays. The newly-designed flat-indexing system is also digital-compatible on most models. COBRA presses are Tri-LOC® and Tri-Sync™ compatible—like all M&R presses—which further minimizes setup times, and maximizes run times and productivity.

With three different sizes available in 8-, 10- and 12-colors in the 1618 model, and four different sizes available in 8-, 10-, 12- and 14-colors in the 2020 model, there is sure to be a COBRA that meets your needs. You can be rest assured that whichever you choose, M&R has you covered with best-in-class design, service and support.
