Machine parallelism effect printing precision

2026-01-14

guide rail, the printing plate and the working platform plays important role.

The adjustment of the parallelism between the three layers of the guide rail, the printing plate and the working platform: generally the guide rail or the platform is used as the reference for the adjustment. 1The platform and the guide rail should be parallel, and the squeegee plate moves along the guide rail. If the two are not parallel, the squeegee will not always touch the platform with a certain pressure, and even the gap will occur. This adjustment has been adjusted before the machine leaves the factory.

The screen printing plate and the platform should be parallel, otherwise the mesh distance (distance from the bottom surface of the screen printing plate to the printing surface) is inconsistent, causing the printing pressure and the screen printing plate to be inconsistent. Therefore, the flatness of the frame itself should be guaranteed.

Adjustment to the plate: refers to the adjustment of the printing precision between the screen printing plate and the printed object on the screen printing machine.

Squeegee adjustment: 1 Adjusting the parallelism of the screen by the squeegee, adjusting the left and right screw to adjust the height of the ink plate; the left and right sides of the middle shaft can be adjusted with the top wire to adjust the left and right top wires, and the height is adjusted to the right and left of the ink plate respectively. 2 The adjustment amount of the blade inclination angle is generally in the range of 65 to 85 , and can be selected as needed. 3 The adjustment of the printing pressure is actually the adjustment of the position of the squeegee. 4 The length of the squeegee can not be adjusted, generally supplied as a kit, each set has several different lengths to choose from. Stroke adjustment: including adjustment of stroke size and stroke position. Through the adjustment of the crank and the radius R of the swing rod, the stroke adjustment is realized, and the R increase stroke is increased, and the stroke length generally exceeds the pattern of 20 to 50 mm. Network (table) distance adjustment: the net (table) distance adjustment can be realized by reducing the screen printing plate or raising the platform, generally adopting the method of raising the platform. The screen plate four-corner net table spacing should be consistent, the error is 0.5mm. The distance between the nets is generally 2 to 5 mm, and the net is allowed to be smaller from the front and the rear only

PLCs that can fully automate the steps in roll-to-roll screen printing.

2026-01-14

The latest generation of roll-to-roll screen-printing systems marks a significant evolutionary step in the press technology that has dominated since the early 1900’s. Now, the incorporation of more sophisticated electronic controls reduces the need for time-consuming manual adjustments that typify earlier and less sophisticated equipment. In this discussion, we will consider how state-of-the-art electronic controls and software integration are changing the capabilities of roll-to-roll screen-printing systems, including both flatbed models and cylinder-based equipment.

The underlying electronics and software engineering that now have bearing on screen-printing technology are cut from the same cloth as the electronic controls we now see in a wide swatch of industrial equipment. At the core are programmable logic controllers (PLCs)— computers geared to provide stability in real-world manufacturing conditions and able to handle multiple inputs and outputs. PLCs, originally developed for the automotive industry, are now programmed with more sophisticated instructions than when they were originally introduced, enabling expert programmers to fine tune industrial controls to an unprecedented extent. This includes today’s PLCs that can fully automate the steps in roll-to-roll screen printing.

Adjustments to the screen clamps, as well as squeegee and floodbar pressures, can now be achieved with touch screens operating pneumatic controls via the system’s PLC. This eliminates a good deal of time that had previously been spent by operators making mechanical adjustments to balance these components for each job. On today’s roll-to-roll presses, no tools are required to make these adjustments—they are all done electronically and with greater precision and repeatability than what human operators can typically muster. If and when fault conditions arise, they can also be corrected with a few keystrokes.

Going from a manually sheet-fed printing process to an automated web process can speed throughput by 50% or more. The actual speed improvement varies, and is dependent on the size of the job, among other factors.

Once a skilled operator has set up all the required job parameters for a particular application—web speed, web transport settings, squeegee angle, screen height, dryer settings, etc.—the PLC will automatically store all these parameters. For repeat runs of the same job, a far less skilled operator is able to quickly initiate and set up the system by recalling those parameters.

The greater precision electronic controls also are key to enabling many specialty graphics companies to expand into electronics applications that have requirements for exact ink thicknesses and minimal screen stretch that non-automated presses cannot consistently achieve. Since membrane switches and other printed electronic products are a growing segment of the specialty graphics industry, we can expect that the capacity and sophistication of PLC-enabled control systems will become more and more a determining factor of where the industry can go.

More precisely, it is the software engineering that makes the real difference between one screen printing system and another. The best-in-class roll-to-roll systems use standard industrial components that one can source worldwide, and customize the software for the precise application requirements of a particular specialty graphics company. These systems typically use higher capacity PLCs that are able to finely control all the inputs and outputs of a web printing line, including unwinding, web tension, material positioning, printing head position, web transport, drying systems, and rewinder

Roll-to-Roll Screen Printing Machine in the Application of Photovoltaic Cell Electrode Printing

2026-01-14

Roll-to-roll screen printing machine is a high-efficiency production equipment, especially suitable for the production of photovoltaic cell backsheets. It can carry out continuous screen printing, thus greatly improving production efficiency. In the manufacturing process of photovoltaic cells, electrode printing is a key step that directly affects the performance and efficiency of the cells. Below, we will explore in detail how the roll-to-roll screen printing machine prints photovoltaic cell electrodes.

Basic Principle of Screen Printing

Screen printing is a process in which a squeegee extrudes printing ink, and the ink presents a reverse rolling state under the obstruction of the squeegee surface and the mesh knots of the screen plate. When the ink reaches the electrode pattern area of the screen plate that is not blocked by the emulsion film, it penetrates downward through the mesh holes to contact the printing substrate (silicon wafer). As the squeegee moves forward continuously, the ink detaches from the screen plate and adheres to the printing substrate due to the screen tension and the off-contact distance, achieving the purpose of printing. This process is crucial for the formation of photovoltaic cell electrodes, as it is related to the collection and extraction of electric current, as well as the series welding of individual cells.

Structural Characteristics of Roll-to-Roll Screen Printing Machine

The roll-to-roll screen printing machine features a more rational design and higher production efficiency. It consists of multiple components including an unwinding unit, a feeding unit, an unwinding film splicing storage rack, a corona dust removal device, an unwinding deviation correction device, a feeding storage rack, a screen printing unit, an auxiliary oven heating unit, a microwave curing unit, a corona device, a discharging unit, a winding deviation correction device and a winding unit. These units work collaboratively to ensure that the film material is stably and uniformly delivered to the auxiliary oven heating unit for heating.

Unwinding Unit and Winding Unit

The unwinding unit and winding unit are equipped with semi-automatic lifting devices for loading and unloading roll materials. This enables faster loading, unloading and roll changing of roll materials, improving production efficiency. The roll material rack includes a supporting base, an I-shaped rotating frame, a guide roller assembly and an air expansion chuck. Both ends of the I-shaped rotating frame are installed on the supporting base through rotating shafts and driven to rotate by a motor drive device. This design ensures the stability of the roll material during the unwinding and winding processes.

Splicing of New and Old Film Materials

The feeding unit is equipped with a film splicing device that realizes zero-speed splicing of new and old film materials. This splicing device can reduce waste generated during the splicing of new and old materials, improving the utilization rate of film materials. The film splicing device is composed of a frame, a first suction cup, a waste removal suction cup, a second suction cup, a working area, a pneumatic lever, a base and a linear guide rail. Through this structure, the pressing and cutting processes of the film material are more stable, and the operation time is shorter.

Unwinding Deviation Correction Device

The unwinding deviation correction device adopts a three-point double-roller deviation correction device with a three-point supporting deviation correction mechanism. This deviation correction device can improve the precision of unwinding deviation correction and has better applicability, while the costs of processing, assembly and maintenance are relatively low. The three-point double-roller deviation correction device includes a fixed frame, a floating frame, a drive device, a guide roller assembly and movable fulcrums. The movable fulcrums are arranged on the fixed frame in an isosceles triangle distribution, ensuring the precise alignment of the film material during the unwinding process.

Specific Process of Photovoltaic Cell Electrode Printing

In the manufacturing of photovoltaic cells, electrode printing usually includes steps such as back electrode printing, back electric field printing and front grid printing.

Back Electrode Printing

The function of back electrode printing is to form excellent ohmic contact characteristics, welding performance and adhesion. In terms of silver paste composition, silver-aluminum paste is composed of silver powder, aluminum powder, inorganic additives and organic carriers. When the printed pattern is intact, the pressure of the printing head should be as small as possible within the allowable range.

Back Electric Field Printing

The function of back electric field printing is to form a P+ junction area, so that the photogenerated carrier pairs excited by long-wave photons reaching the P/P+ junction are separated by the P/P+ junction, increasing the minority carrier diffusion capacity and improving the open-circuit voltage. The P/P+ junction can prevent the photogenerated electrons in the P region from recombining on the back surface. Compared with the structure without the P+ region, this high-low junction P/P+ structure can greatly reduce the recombination rate of the back surface. In terms of paste composition, aluminum paste is composed of aluminum powder, inorganic additives and organic carriers. The factors affecting the thickness of the printed aluminum paste include screen mesh count, mesh wire diameter, open area ratio, emulsion layer thickness, printing head pressure, printing head hardness, printing speed and paste viscosity.

Front Grid Printing

The function of front grid printing is to form excellent ohmic contact characteristics, welding performance and adhesion, as well as to collect and extract electric current. The front grid silver paste is composed of silver powder, inorganic additives and organic carriers. The adjustment of printing parameters is based on the criteria of complete patterns, full lines and appropriate weight of the printed paste.

Sintering Process After Printing

After the printing process is completed, a sintering process is required. Sintering can be regarded as a process in which atoms migrate from unstable high-energy positions in the system to positions with the lowest free energy. The purposes of sintering include burning out the organic components in the metal paste, burning through the insulating silicon nitride film, melting and alloying the metal in the paste with silicon to form ohmic contact, as well as annealing the silicon wafer subjected to plasma bombardment, activating the doped atoms and eliminating lattice damage.

Screen Printing Machine with CCD

2026-01-14

Screen printing machines are called universal printing machines, which can print on a variety of substrates, with excellent printing quality and accurate images and text. Screen printing originated in my country and has a history of more than 2,000 years of development and application. Screen printing can be applied to various materials such as textiles, metals, plastics, ceramics, etc. It can be applied to various material forms such as plane, convex, concave, etc. It can be applied in many industries such as advertising, art, and electronics industry. The screen printing machine is also a printing machine with the highest degree of automation in the printing industry at home and abroad. The equipped optical vision alignment system further improves the printing precision of the printing machine. The screen printing machine can realize multi-color printing, and the visual alignment system is matched with the screen overprinting positioning marks of different printing colors, which can carry out high-accuracy automatic production. At present, the best screen printing machine can control the position adjustment time within 1 second, and the position accuracy can reach ±0.02mm. It uses fewer CCDs to obtain edge positioning, reduces real-time signal transmission costs, and reduces uncertain factors. The visual alignment of the screen printing machine is realized by CCD, and at least 4 CCDs can realize the edge image positioning. The cooperation of CCD with industrial telecentric lens, coaxial point light source and other visual equipment can further improve the accuracy, the theoretical accuracy can be increased to 0.00375mm, and a more accurate printed image edge can be obtained.

The specific application of the CCD optical vision alignment system in the automatic screen printing machine
The main responsibility of the CCD optical vision alignment system in the screen printing machine is to complete image recognition and visual positioning. Among them, edge recognition is very important and is an important link to improve the accuracy of screen printing. Visual positioning requires the cooperation of image processing and analysis technology to calculate the precise placement of the substrate. Edge vision needs to complete multiple steps such as image preprocessing, edge extraction, filtering, pixel processing, least squares fitting, etc., and finally obtain a more accurate edge line equation.

The Advantages of Screen Printing

2026-01-14

Screen printing belongs to stencil printing, which is called the four printing methods together with lithography, embossing and gravure printing. Hole printing includes transcription, perforated pattern, spray and screen printing, etc. The principle of stencil printing is: the printing plate (the perforations that can pass ink are made on the base of the paper film plate or other plates). When printing, the ink is transferred to the substrate (paper, ceramics, etc.) through the perforations of the stencil under a certain pressure. ) To form an image or text.

The 2021 version of China's screen printing market special research analysis and development prospect forecast report released by Industry Research Network believes that the ink is transferred to the substrate through the mesh of the graphic part through the squeeze of the squeegee during printing, and the formation is the same as the original Graphic. The screen printing equipment is simple, convenient to operate, simple in printing and plate making, low in cost, and strong in adaptability. Screen printing has a wide range of applications.
