HMI display, 0–30 second timer, selectable 95° rotation either direction. Fits the F-100, F-1000 and RedFlash. Free shipping.

Description
Vastex AutoFlash — Hands-Free, Repeatable Flash Curing
Manual flashing depends on the operator remembering to swing the head and time the dwell. The AutoFlash upgrade automates it: tap the foot pedal and the head rotates over the pallet, holds for your exact dwell time, and retracts — every time. The result is consistent cures with no scorching or under-curing, and a free hand for loading and printing.
Why Printers Choose It
Foot-Pedal Automation
A 7-foot foot-pedal cord triggers the cycle so your hands stay on the press.
Set-and-Forget Dwell
An HMI display sets the dwell timer from 0–30 seconds for repeatable cures job after job.
Smooth, Precise Motion
A high-torque DC gear motor and eccentric arm drive deliver smooth start/stop and selectable 95° rotation in either direction.
Fits Your Vastex Flash
Adds onto the F-100, F-1000 and RedFlash units to automate the flash you already run.
