In this process, the scanning trajectory of the laser is spatially pre-positioned by a program, and therefore, the substrate 30 needs to be positioned to a reference position before printing, and the substrate 30 needs to be detached every product replacement, and therefore, the alignment and positioning of the substrate 30 determines the efficiency of the continuous operation.
The base plate 30 is connected with the lifting table 20 through four bolts at four corners, in the installation process of the base plate 30 in the past, position deviation and height deviation (the diameter of the bolt is 17.5mm, and an error of 2mm at most can be generated) are easily generated in the installation process of the bolts at the corners, the material increase required precision is 50 micrometers, the size of a gap between the base plate and the installation plate needs to be compared manually by means of a metal sheet to calibrate the horizontal position, and the horizontal height of the base plate 30 is compared through the horizontal movement of the scraper 50. The process is complicated and fussy, and because the scraper has elastic deformation, at the removal in-process, do not have pressure detection, can only judge through the naked eye, the rate of accuracy is low.
