History

Systematic Automation, Inc. was founded in 1983 in Chicago, Illinois. The company moved to a larger facility in Connecticut to accommodate a doubling of capacity in 1987.[9] Systematic Automation invented a rotary indexing table in 1988,[10] introducing the technology to screen printing applications. That same year, the company entered the UV curing industry with the introduction of the UVSP Curing Unit.[11][12] To meet the complex requirements of multicolor screen printed designs, a new line of machines was designed and manufactured in 2001 that consisted of a conveying system for multiple vacuum tables moved successively through screen printing and UV curing work stations.[13] More recently, engineers at the company have developed machines for automatically printing insulated foam can coolers, known as koozies, as well as a fully automatic screen printer for microscope slides or other flat glass.[9] Other notable accomplishments include building a screen printing machine capable of depositing 0.002" lines of platinum 0.002" apart for hydrogen battery wafers used on the Space Shuttle.
