Abstract:
A framed stencil for surface mount technology (SMT) is provided. The frame assembly includes a frame member and a binding insert. The frame member includes an inner perimeter portion and an outer perimeter portion that cooperates with the inner perimeter portion to define an elongated channel. The outer perimeter portion includes a first cantilever portion that extends over the elongated channel and towards the inner perimeter portion. The binding insert is configured for releasable insertion into the elongated channel. The binding insert includes a base and a tongue. The base configured to interface with a mesh substrate to facilitate coupling therebetween. The tongue is coupled to the base and extends substantially horizontally from the base. When the binding insert is inserted into the elongated channel, the tongue extending beneath the first cantilever portion to facilitate retention of the binding insert to the frame member. Methods are also provided.
Abstract:
A mask frame assembly and an evaporation apparatus are disclosed. The mask frame assembly comprises a frame and a mask plate fixed on the frame. The mask frame assembly is provided with alignment marks, which comprise a first alignment hole arranged in the frame and a second alignment hole arranged in the mask plate. The first alignment hole is a through hole. The mask frame assembly effectively solves a problem in which liquid residuals in alignment holes of the frame interfere with alignment.

A division mask includes a main body including at least one opening pattern, and a clamping portion at an edge of the main body, the clamping portion having an increasing width with respect to an increasing distance from the main body, and the clamping portion including a fan-out portion extending from the main body and including at least one dummy pattern, and at least one branch portion having a decreasing width with respect to an increasing distance from the fan-out portion.
Abstract:
The invention provides a vacuum evaporation apparatus, wherein the magnetic plate comprises a plurality of magnetic units respectively corresponding to different areas of metal mask to attract the corresponding areas of metal mask to low surface of substrate by magnetic force, the driving mechanism comprises a plurality of driving units correspondingly one-to-one to magnetic units, and the magnetic units are driven by corresponding driving units to move upward/downward independently so that the stress generated during the mask sheet of metal mask attached to substrate is fully released by adjusting the movement order of magnetic units to reduce difficulty on metal mask design and improve yield rate. Moreover, the corresponding magnetic units are adjusted in real-time according to the color mixing situation of products to improve the equipment utilization rate, and the magnetic force on corresponding area of metal mask is independently adjusted according to product color mixing situation.
Abstract:
A portable one-piece foam frame for use in securing a screen and/or screen stencil film for use in an off-contact stenciling operation. The assembly includes a paper or release covering an adhesive on one side of the frame. A non-skid coating may be applied to the base of the frame to keep it from shifting or moving during a stenciling operation.
Abstract:
A manufacturing method of a mask includes aligning a mask sheet including an effective area and a non-effective area, on a mask frame; applying a pressure to the non-effective area of the mask sheet in a direction opposite to a sagging direction of the non-effective area, to prevent sagging of the non-effective area; and moving a clamping unit to the mask sheet along a direction substantially parallel to the mask sheet, to clamp the clamping unit onto the non-effective area of the mask sheet.
Abstract:
A screen printing apparatus includes: a barrier member which butts against a screen mask and a squeegee to prevent paste on the screen mask from escaping to an outside of a printing width of the board; and an urging mechanism which urges the barrier member toward the screen mask. The urging mechanism includes: a first magnetic member held by the squeegee head such that a first pole surface having a first magnetic pole is directed toward the barrier member; and a second magnetic member held by the barrier member such that a second pole surface having a second magnetic pole opposite to the first magnetic pole is directed toward the first magnetic member, whereby the urging mechanism urges the barrier member by an attracting magnetic force acting between the first pole surface and the second pole surface.
Abstract:
An apparatus for screen printing a surface of a substrate includes a screen printing net, a print extremity element, and a supporting structure supporting the print extremity element. The supporting structure includes a slider coupled to the print extremity element and adapted to guide the movement of the print extremity element in a first direction, a support frame having a housing that is associated with a portion of the slider so as to allow movement of the slider relative to the support frame, and an actuation member coupled to the slider. The print extremity element urges a print material through the screen printing net onto the surface of the substrate. The actuation member positions the print extremity element relative to the screen printing net in the first direction, and includes magnets disposed within the housing of the support frame, and an electric coil disposed proximate to the magnets.
Abstract:
Method for producing a base material (25) for screen printing, which comprises a protective film (10), a screen (5) and an intermediate resist layer (13) comprising photosensitive material, the method comprising the steps of applying a first resist layer (15) to one side of the protective film (10), drying the first resist layer (15), applying an additional resist layer (17) to the first resist layer (15), and then applying a screen (5) to the additional resist layer (17) under pressure, with that side of the additional resist layer (17) to which the screen (5) is applied being wet. The invention also describes a base material (25) for screen printing, which comprises a protective film (10), an electroformed screen (5) and an intermediate resist layer (13) comprising photosensitive material.
Abstract:
An object of the invention is to provide an electronic component mounting system and an electronic component mounting method which can execute component mounting work on a plurality of boards simultaneously, concurrently and efficiently so that high productivity and responsiveness to production of many items can be achieved consistently.Provided is an electronic component mounting line (1) which is formed so that a screen printing portion having a plurality of individual printing mechanisms capable of executing setup change works individually is connected to an upstream side of a component mounting portion having a plurality of board delivery mechanisms, and which is configured so that either of a first work mode in which component mounting work is continuously executed on a fixed board type in all individual mounting lanes (L1 and L2) and a second work mode in which component mounting work is intermittently executed in one individual mounting lane while setup change work is repeated in corresponding one of the individual printing mechanisms whenever board types are changed from one to another in the individual mounting lane is selectively designated in multi-board mounting work in which the individual mounting lanes are operated to execute component mounting work on a plurality of boards simultaneously and concurrently.
