  • Patent number: 8453568
    Abstract: In a screen printing apparatus, a first printing table and a second printing table are alternately driven to move horizontally between a workpiece introducing section and a workpiece printing section by a table driving unit. The table driving unit is constituted so that the first printing table is vertically moved from a first level to a second level during the horizontal movement of the first printing table, and so that the second printing table is maintained at the first level during the horizontal movement of the second printing table, whereby the first printing table can pass by the second printing table without interference therebetween when these tables meet each other. In either of the workpiece introducing section and the workpiece printing section, each of the first and second printing tables is always located at the same first level, and thus an unprocessed workpiece (W) loaded onto each of the first and second tables can be subjected to a screen printing process in the same control manner.

  • Patent number: 8033218
    Abstract: A printing device, a production unit and a production method of electronic parts suitable for production of precise electronic parts are provided. A squeegee is attached to a rotating machine, and is autorotated and self-driven, and moreover, a printing pressure is generated in the squeegee, and resin is strongly filled, thereby achieving a print having a precision-shape. Further, with a perforated plate as a boundary, upper and lower chambers are provided so as to control a pressure, thereby performing cutting and dispensing of the resin and achieving a print having a precision-shape. This method is applied to the packaging of electronic parts.

  • Patent number: 5070782
    Abstract: A screen printer comprising a squeegee for applying a printing material to a work face when the squeegee moves on an upper side face of a screen while being kept in contact therewith, a doctor for uniforming a thickness of the printing material left on the upper side face of the screen, and a cleaner including a scraping bucket which moves on the underside face of the screen while being kept in contact therewith so as to scrape the printing material attached to the underside face of the screen upon applying operation of the squeegee. The scraping bucket comprises a bucket body formed into a concave shape with an open top in profile, and a scraping strip formed on an end of one side wall of the bucket body, which is inclined toward an advance direction of the scraping bucket.
