* Manual X-axis adjustment, enabling

* A central suction cup, ideal for handling
smaller transfers
* An adjustable transfer tray, capable of
accommodating transfers ranging from a
maximum of 40 x 50 cm to a minimum
of 15 x 15 cm, with additional smaller
sizes available upon request
* Seamless integration, whereby the
system is powered directly by the
ROQ IMPRESS through a single plug,
ensuring a hassle-free setup
* Easy removal, allowing operators to
