  • Publication number: 20230234348
    Abstract: The application relates to a printing machine for printing on planar substrates, in particular circuit boards, including: a printing table which extends in a horizontal plane and on which at least one substrate to be printed on can be arranged; at least one printing device assigned to the printing table, which printing device has a screen holder for an interchangeable printing screen and a doctor device assigned to the screen holder, wherein, by means of the doctor device, a printing material can be applied onto the substrate to be printed on through the printing screen; and a screen magazine assigned to the doctor device for storing at least one printing screen for the doctor device.

  • Patent number: 9211755
    Abstract: A printing table arrangement includes at least one printing device for printing of substrates, at least one printing table, a first transport device to transport the substrates being printed in a first plane, and a lifting device to move the first transport device with the first plane between a printing plane assigned to the printing device and a transport plane lying underneath. The printing table has a second transport device to transport substrates in a second plane beneath the first plane, in which the fixed spacing between the first plane and the second plane corresponds to the spacing between the printing plane and transport plane.

  • Publication number: 20110239883
    Abstract: The invention relates to a printing-table arrangement in which a printing table is formed in such a way that a substrate that is to be printed on can be supplied by means of a supply device, the substrate can be adjusted in position relatively with respect to a printing copy, the printing copy and the substrate can be moved relatively towards each other in the mutually adjusted position, a printing medium can be brought onto the substrate with the aid of the printing roller, the printing copy and the substrate that has been printed on can be moved relatively away from each other again, if necessary the substrate that has been printed on can be tested, and the substrate that has been printed on can be discharged again, in which in particular in a common frame (2) at least two printing tables (3, 4) are arranged side by side in such a way that corresponding substrates (11, 12) can be supplied, printed on and discharged again in parallel.
