摘要:
An alignment system (10) for a workpiece printing machine comprises a stencil support (14), a workpiece support (4) and a planarity control mechanism having at least two actuators (11, 12, 13) arranged to effect relative rotation of the stencil support (14) and workpiece support (4) about both the horizontal axes (X, Y).

A clamping system (31) for clamping a printing screen frame (6) within a printing machine uses at least one inflatable bladder (46) to effect clamping. The clamping system (31) may be modular, so that bladders (46) and / or extending inserts (67) may be exchanged, replaced or incorporated as required.

A stencil printer (10) includes a stencil shuttle assembly (18) coupled to a frame (12). The stencil shuttle assembly is configured to move the stencil (16) in an x-axis direction between a first position in which the stencil is positioned toward a front of the stencil printer and a second position in which the stencil is positioned toward a back of the stencil printer. The stencil shuttle assembly (18) further is configured to move the stencil (16) in a y-axis direction to align the stencil. The stencil printer further includes a wiper (164) to remove material from the stencil as the stencil is translated away from the substrate (24) by the stencil shuttle assembly. The stencil shuttle assembly, when the stencil is translated away from the substrate, is configured to move the stencil (16) in the y-axis direction in an oscillating manner. Methods of cleaning a stencil are further disclosed.
摘要:
The invention relates to a method and an apparatus for selecting a paste stencil (10) for paste printing onto a substrate (20), the paste stencil (10) being selected on the basis of a stencil thickness (h), in the case of which an area ratio of a small through opening (11 a, 11 b) of the substrate is greater than or equal to a setpoint area ratio. Furthermore, the present invention relates to a method and an apparatus for applying paste material (30) onto a substrate (20) for at least one small component (21 a, 21 b) and at least one large component (22) which is larger than the at least one small component (21 a, 21 b), paste material (30) being applied for the at least one small component (21 a, 21 b) and the at least one large component (22) by means of a paste stencil (10) which is selected according to the invention, and additional paste material (30) being applied onto the paste material (30) for the at least one large component (22), after paste material (30) has been applied by means of the selected paste stencil (10) for the at least one small component (21 a, 21 b) and the at least one large component (22).
