Abstract: A microdeposition system includes a printhead carriage that includes N rows of nozzles and that moves along a first axis; a stage that holds a substrate; and a maintenance station located at a position along the first axis that is past an edge of the substrate. The N rows of nozzles selectively deposit droplets of fluid manufacturing material onto the substrate. The maintenance station includes a capping station and an ultrasonic cleaning station located in a middle of the capping station. N is an integer greater than one.

Abstract: A drop analysis/drop check system allows a plurality of printheads to remain stationary during analysis to emulate operation of an actual piezoelectric microdeposition system. The system provides accurate tuning of individual nozzle ejectors and allows for substrate loading and alignment in parallel with drop analysis/drop check. The drop analysis/drop check system includes a motion controller directing movement of a stage, a printhead controller controlling a printhead to selectively eject drops of fluid material to be deposited on a substrate, and a camera supported by the stage for movement relative to the printheads. The camera receives a signal from the motion controller to initiate exposure of the camera and captures an image of the drops of fluid material ejected by the printheads. A light-emitting device includes a strobe controller that receives a signal from the camera to supply light to an area including the liquid drops during camera exposure.

Abstract: The present teachings relate to a printhead maintenance station for an industrial printing apparatus which is used to prevent clogging of the printhead, particularly during periods in which the printheads are idle. The maintenance station includes a capping station which has sockets for keeping the printheads moist and a blotting station for cleaning any residual printing fluids prior to carrying out a print function.
