In the 1990s, screen printing was characterized by its ability to print thick ink, but on the other hand, it was used only for printing that took advantage of the characteristics of thick film printing, as there was little expectation for accuracy.
However, in the 2000s, screen printing reached the point where it could achieve the same accuracy as the photo method.
This is largely due to the rapid progress of plates and pastes, such as the increased rigidity and accuracy of printing presses, as well as the development of meshes of new materials and pastes with ultrafine particles.
As a result, even finer pattern printing has become possible.
In 2003, we developed the high-precision printer LZ-250IP. A table, plate holder, and squeegee unit are placed on a granite surface plate, and the squeegee stroke is driven by air bearings and linear motors, enabling printing with zero vibration and printing 10-micron lines/spaces, has continued to challenge the limits of fine-line printing from early on.
With the aim of achieving an L/S 10μm, the LZ-250IP is an ultra-high-precision printer.
Innovative squeegee, linear motor drive, granite surface plate, etc., allow you to perform printing with a higher level of ultra-precision.
