FAQ fastFrame 600 SA
What is the fastFrame 600 SA?
The fastFrame 600 SA is a fully automatic multi-format system for stretching printed canvases onto frames. It was specifically designed for the industrial production of canvas prints and enables fast and precise mounting of small and medium formats. The machine is particularly suitable for photo labs, print service providers, online photo producers, art reproduction companies, and businesses with high production volumes and varying formats for canvas products.
What applications is the machine suitable for?
The machine is suitable for the mass production of decorative canvas prints, such as family photos, art reproductions, travel photos, and custom photo prints. These canvas products are frequently used in homes, businesses, hotels, and event venues.
What frame sizes can be processed?
The machine processes frame sizes ranging from 200 × 200 mm to 610 × 610 mm. The frame thickness may vary from 15 to 40 mm.
What is the production capacity?
Depending on the format and operator performance, the fastFrame 600 SA can produce up to 163 frames per hour. This makes it significantly faster than manual production. A single operator can run two machines simultaneously, effectively doubling the output per operator.
What materials can be processed?
The fastFrame 600 SA can handle various types of screen material: polyester, polycotton, and cotton
What are the benefits of automated production?
Automation significantly reduces the amount of manual labor required, thereby ensuring significantly higher production speeds, consistent quality, and greater scalability in production
Is the machine suitable for continuous industrial use?
Yes. It was specifically designed for 24/7 operation and industrial mass production.
Do I need to change tools or template plates when I change the frame size?
No. The machine features an automatically adjustable frame holder and requires no format plates or retooling. Different sizes can be processed directly one after another. The changeover is performed either by the operator selecting the product or, most simply, by scanning a barcode. Each frame can have a different format than the previous one without any loss of productivity.
Which steps are performed automatically?
Once the canvas and frame have been loaded, the machine takes over: - automatic positioning - stretching and securing - even tensioning - finishing and ejection onto the conveyor belt The operator simply needs to load the materials and press “Start.”
How do you operate the machine?
Mode 1: Manual entry via the touchscreen and saving to a product: Parameters such as canvas and frame size remain in effect for multiple frames until the next manual entry or selection of a different product. Mode 2: Batch mode: Selection of a pre-programmed product manually or via a 2D code for multiple identical frames (batch) until the next scan. Mode 3: Mixed orders (2D code): Frequent format changes via 2D code selection on the screen. One product is saved per format, and the machine automatically adjusts accordingly.
How many operators are needed?
A single operator can handle the entire production process. Automation reduces manual labor to a minimum.
How big is the machine, and how much does it weigh?
Dimensions: 3,909 mm (L) × 1'962 mm (W) × 2'172 mm (H) Weight: approx. 1'800 kg

Yes, you need an internet connection and TeamViewer installed
FAQ fastFrame 300
What is the fastFrame 300?
The fastFrame 300 is an automated system for stretching printed canvases onto frames. It was specifically designed for the industrial production of canvas prints and enables the quick and precise mounting of small and very small formats. The machine is particularly suitable for photo labs, print service providers, online photo producers, art reproduction companies, and businesses with high-volume canvas print production. The machine is very easy to operate, requires minimal space (1.6 m² footprint), and, since it is primarily pneumatically driven, consumes very little power (50W).
For which applications is the fastFrame 300 suitable?
The machine was specifically developed for the production of extra small canvas formats, which are in demand in the growing market for decorative mini canvases – for example for gift items, private living spaces and event decoration.
Which frame sizes can be processed?
The fastFrame 300 processes formats from 100 × 100 mm to 305 × 305 mm (4” × 4” to 12” × 12”). Frame thicknesses can vary continuously from 15 to 40 mm.
What is the production output?
The fastFrame 300 produces approximately 100 canvas frames per hour, depending on the operator and frame size.
How does the production process work?
The operator prepares the frame outside the machine. Using a device, he centers the frame on the canvas. He then places the frame and canvas into the machine. The remaining process steps—tensioning, corner folding, and stapling—are fully automated. While the frame is being processed in the machine, the operator prepares the next frame.
How easy is it to use?
The machine is very easy to operate, it works fully automatically, no prior knowledge is required, and the operator can be trained very quickly. This makes it ideal for production environments that demand high quality with minimal personnel.
How big and how heavy is the machine?

FAQ fastFrame Professional
What is the fastFrame Professional?
The fastFrame 600 SA is a semi-automatic system for stretching printed canvases onto frames. It was specifically designed for the production of a wide variety of canvas formats and enables the quick and precise mounting of small to large formats. The machine is particularly suitable for photo labs, print service providers, online photo producers, art reproduction companies, and businesses with low to medium production volumes and frequently changing formats for canvas products.
What applications is the machine suitable for?
The machine is suitable for producing decorative wall art on canvas, such as family photos, art reproductions, travel photos, and custom photo prints. These canvas products are frequently used in homes, businesses, hotels, and event venues.
What frame sizes can be processed?
The machine can handle frame sizes ranging from 200 × 200 mm to 1'200 × 1'200 mm (8“ × 8” to 47“ × 47”) and is therefore suitable for both small and very large canvas prints. The frame thickness can vary from 10 to 50 mm.
What materials can be processed?
The fastFrame Professional can handle all standard canvas materials (polyester, polycotton, cotton) that are suitable for conventional canvas stretching.
How do you operate the machine?
The fastFrame Professional is a semi-automatic stretching system: Outside the machine, the frame is placed on the canvas and aligned. The operator inserts the frame into the machine. When the start button is pressed, the machine begins automatically stretching and tacking two opposite sides. The operator removes the frame and folds the corners manually. The operator then places the frame back into the machine and presses the start button again. The machine then tacks the remaining two sides. It is also possible to load several smaller frames of the same width into the machine at the same time. The machine recognizes the individual frames and tacks them accordingly. This results in a precisely stretched canvas at a higher speed than with manual work.
Does the operator need special training?
No, the machine is designed to be easy to use.
What advantage does fastFrame Professional offer over manual production?
Higher productivity Consistently high clamping quality Capability for mass production Quick format changes thanks to tool-free operation
How many frames can the machine produce per hour?
The output is up to 80 frames per hour, depending on frame size and the operator.
Can multiple frames be processed at the same time?
Yes. The machine can process multiple frames of the same size—and even frames of different lengths—simultaneously in a single cycle, as long as the width and thickness are the same—ideal for production environments with mixed orders. An automatic sensor detection system identifies the number of frames loaded, which reduces operator errors and speeds up the workflow.
What connections are required?
Power supply: 230 V, 50 Hz, single-phase, 16 A, 2 kW; a transformer is available as an option Compressed air: 0.55–0.7 MPa, 5,000 l/h
How big is the machine, and how much does it weigh?
Dimensions: 3,690 × 2'300 × 1'473 mm Weight: approx. 1'100 kg
