The third installment of our Ink and Innovation Series looks at the Moditech EWS Electronic Work Station. Mounting, laminating and applying graphics accurately can take time, create waste and put unnecessary strain on the operators. More than just an applicator table, this smart piece of equipment has been designed to make the finishing process easier, faster and more accurate.
The Basics
The EWS Electronic Work Station is available in two table models: X2 and X4, with a set width of 1750mm and a choice of three table lengths. Both models are fully electric with no need for a compressor and use a standard UK 3 pin plug, so need for a heavy duty power supply.
Developed by Moditech with more than 30 years of experience behind them, the EWS is a fifth-generation electronic applicator workstation designed specifically around the needs of sign makers and large format print businesses. Rather than being simply a flatbed applicator, it combines an electronically controlled pressure roller with an adjustable, ergonomic work surface to create a complete finishing solution.
Features include height adjustable legs, electronic glide beam, media holder and material shelves. Optional features tilt function, LED backlit table, motor drive and heated roller.
Why choose a Moditech EWS for your business?
One of the biggest advantages of the Moditech EWS is its patented DACT (Digital Adjustable Click Torque) technology. The electronically controlled pressure roller maintains consistent pressure while keeping the roller parallel to the table surface. This means operators don't have to work from the exact centre of the table. They can position themselves wherever is most comfortable and still achieve consistent application. The table can be electronically height adjusted and tilted by up to 25 degrees, allowing operators to find a comfortable working position. This can help operators work more efficiently and consistently throughout the day.
Even before installation, practicality and convenience has been accounted for. The EWS is packaged vertically with a width of 86cm, so it can be easily manoeuvred through doorways and narrow spaces. This is particularly useful if space is at a premium.
The EWS is designed to make the application process more controlled and repeatable. Its electronically controlled roller helps deliver consistent pressure across the working area, reducing the likelihood of application problems and helping businesses minimise wasted materials.
The workstation itself also incorporates storage shelves for media and tools, helping keep frequently used materials close at hand without taking up additional workshop space.
For growing sign makers and print businesses working within a limited footprint, this combination of a large working area and integrated storage can be particularly valuable.
Whether you're producing signage, exhibition graphics, retail displays, vehicle graphics or large format laminated prints, the finishing process is crucial to the quality of the final product.
The Moditech EWS brings together accuracy, ergonomics, efficiency and versatility in one workstation. By making application easier for operators while helping reduce material waste and the risk of damaged graphics, it has the potential to improve both the production process and the finished result.
For businesses looking to increase their finishing capabilities without simply adding another conventional piece of equipment to the workshop, the Moditech EWS offers a smarter approach.
