Automatic Piston
Coater
for screen printing on Pistons
In comparison to all previous screen printing machines the innovatory technology of the
automatic machine offers decisive advantages.
The squeegee is kept at constant pressure and on special critical zones as for instance sharp edges it is pressure-less operated. Due to this the
lifetime of the screen and squeegee will be considerably extended.
On the automatic machine, sprockets and friction wheels are completely
removed, as drive and synchronization is performed incrementally exactly by
means of an "electronic shaft". By the one-time input of all production parameters on the operator panel all relevant values for the coating of each round body are stored.
The control computer stores those setting values for each body under a freely selectable number for instance article number, customer's number,
order number or similar. When this number is recalled, the machine immediately and automatically adjusts itself to these parameters and the screen
shaft and body rotating shaft are driven true to dimensions and synchronously. This reduces the set-up times considerably. In case of piston
coating the set-up time of so far more than half an hour could be reduced to below 5 min.
Furthermore a special screen pass system is used, which also reduces the set-up time. For changing the screen, corrections are scarcely necessary.
Screens change in seconds. A further advantage of this machine is an integrated paper printing system. With this system you are able to make trial prints on paper at any time for control purposes. Due to this faulty prints on the parts to be
printed are reduced and consequently also considerably the scrap rate.
The machine is designed for manual as well as for automatic loading and unloading. The automatic handling devices are available on request as well as an image processing system for
control of the printing quality. Due to this a 100 % documentation and quality control is possible.
