In the fast-growing DTF (Direct-to-Film) printing industry, automation is no longer a luxury — it's a necessity for staying competitive. With demand for custom apparel and on-demand printing at an all-time high, businesses are seeking efficient, scalable, and intelligent solutions to meet production needs without increasing labor costs.
Microtec’s latest breakthrough — the X6 Automated Carousel Heat Press, combined with SSE-001 and SSE-002 — delivers a truly end-to-end DTF automation solution.
The X6 is a 3-head, 6-station automatic carousel heat press engineered for continuous, high-volume DTF transfers. When integrated with:
SSE-001: Automatic Film Suction & Feeding Machine
SSE-002: Automatic Film Peel-Off & Collection Machine
...you get a fully automated workflow — from feeding to pressing to peeling and collecting, all handled by machines with minimal human involvement.
✅ Smart PLC Touchscreen & Infrared Laser Positioning
✅ Fully synchronized film feeding, transfer, and peel-off
✅ Consistent pressure & temperature across all stations
✅ Modular configuration: scale up from X4/X6 to X8
✅ Ideal for high-volume custom apparel and textile factories
With the DTF industry projected to grow by over 12% annually through 2027 (source: market research), automation is the key to sustainable scaling. The X6 System helps you:
Cut labor costs by up to 70%
Increase output efficiency by 2–3X
Minimize human error in alignment, temperature, and film peeling
Future-proof your production for high-mix, on-demand orders
Whether you're currently using manual or semi-automated systems, Microtec’s X6 with SSE modules provides the fastest path to full automation — without the complexity or cost of large robotic lines.
