Definitions

  • This invention relates to an apparatus for regulating the registration of screens in an automatic screen printing machine, and more specifically, to an apparatus for regulating the registration of screens, by which even those who are inexperienced in screen printing can perform the regulation of the registration of screens in a short period with a high precision.
  • Japanese Patent Publication No. 46952/78 discloses an apparatus comprising a screen supporting member having three positioning pins, a round hole for fitting of these pin at one corner of a screen frame, a long pin hole elongated in the repeat direction in one corner confronting the round hole in the repeat direction, a long pin hole elongated in the widthwise direction in one corner confronting the round hole in the width direction, and two pins confronting each other in the repeat direction arranged movably in the widthwise direction through a widthwise direction-adjusting screw, wherein the screen-supporting member is movably arranged in the repeat direction through a repeat direction adjusting screw, and an adjusting handle for rotating the screw is disposed on one side of the screen printing machine.
  • the regulation of the registration of screens is mostly carried out by a screwing operation and a manual operation, and requires experts and long periods of time. Since it lacks accurateness, the screen position must be inevitably regulated after the beginning of the main screen printing operation. This regulation is to be performed every time a design of the printing pattern varies, and at each regulation man powers and long periods of time are required. Therefore, the efficiency of screen printing is low, and the quality of the printed fabric is degraded. In recent years, multiple-color and small-lot printing becomes fostering, and the above problem becomes serious. Furthermore, since the registering operation depends upon the feeling or experience of the operator, accurate data on the registration cannot be obtained, and the precision is generally insufficient.
  • US-A-4610200 discloses an apparatus for regulating the registration of screens in an automatic screen printing machine, having three sets of screen regulating mechanisms, which can regulate the registration of the screen in the repeat direction, the direction orthogonal thereto and the rotating direction, and each mechanism comprising a registration-regulating stepping motor for performing and detecting the regulating amount.
  • Another object of this invention is to provide an apparatus for regulating the registration of screens, in which the regulation of the registration of screens can be carried out with a good precision based on preset values, and according to the actual registration state of screens, fine regulation can be performed with a good precision by remote control.
  • Still another object of this invention is to provide an apparatus which can be adapted not only to the regulation of the registration of screens in each screen unit, but also, if desired, to an apparatus for automatically setting positions of screens.
  • an apparatus for regulating the registration of screens in an automatic screen printing machine which comprises: screen-supporting members confronting each other; a screen which is fixed only on one of two screen-supporting members and is freely placed on the other supporting member; three sets of screen regulating mechanisms, disposed in said screen-supporting member, which can regulate the registration of the screen in the repeat direction, the direction orthogonal thereto and the rotating direction; a registration-regulating motor and a pulse generator for detecting the regulation amount, disposed in each screen-regulating mechanism; and a registering operation panel comprising switches for performing the regulation of the registration and digital display mechanisms for displaying the registration regulation amount.
  • an apparatus which further comprises: a television camera disposed on the endless belt discharge side of the automatic screen printing machine; a monitor television displaying the actual registration state on an enlarged scale from said camera; and a second operation panel for finely regulating the registration based on the image of the television.
  • the first characteristic feature resides in that a screen is fixed only on one of two confronting screen-supporting members and is freely placed on the other supporting member, and that three sets of screen-regulating mechanisms are disposed in this supporting member in the repeat direction, the direction orthogonal thereto (widthwise direction), and the rotating direction (distorted direction). Since the screen is fixed on one supporting member alone, deformation or distortion does not happen in the screen, and a natural condition at the time of design making is maintained. Furthermore, the screen can be rapidly mounted and dismounted. This makes the adjustment possible in all the directions including the repeat direction, the direction orthogonal thereto (widthwise direction), and the rotating direction (distorted direction).
  • the second characteristic feature of the present invention is that in each of the three sets of screen-regulating mechanisms, a registration-regulating motor and a pulse generator for detecting the regulation amount are disposed, and they are combined with the registration operation panel provided with switches for operating the registration regulation and the digital display mechanism displaying the registration regulation amount. Namely, the amount of the regulation of each screen regulating mechanism is displayed as the amount of pulses by the pulse generator. According to this regulation amount, by on and off of the switch of the operation panel and control of the driving of the registration-regulating motor, the registration regulation is accomplished. When the regulation amount of the screen-regulating mechanism is displayed digitally with a good accuracy by an on-and-off screen-regulating operation, many advantages are brought about.
  • the regulation amount is displayed not as a conventional intuition but as a measured value, a control of the amount of the regulation is accurate and easy.
  • a certain relation between the actual registration state in the automatic screen printing ascertained by human eyes and the monitor television and the amount of regulation to be added. Based on this relation, a certain amount to be regulated can be predetermined, and the regulation to this predetermined amount can be carried out. By preserving this digital regulation amount in each direction of the screen as data, it can be reused for the next time operation.
  • the registration regulation is a one-touch switching operation, and the operation is easy and rapid. Even the inexperienced can perform it.
  • the registration regulation values are digitally expressed.
  • the registering condition can be easily confirmed, and the reproducibility at the time of repeating the order is high. Since the arrangement and preset position of each screen unit are displayed digitally, the movement and positioning of the screen unit can be easily performed. From the non-operating side of the operation of the screen printing, the regulation of the registration is possible.
  • the entire structure of the registration-regulating apparatus can be simplified.
  • a television camera is arranged on the endless belt discharge side.
  • a monitor television which displays the actual screen-registering condition from that camera on an enlarged scale and a second operation panel for finely regulating the registration on the basis of images of the television.
  • the screen registration condition immediately after the completion of the printing is caught by the CCD camera, etc. on the endless belt, and electrically transmitted and displayed to the monitor television provided in the centralized operation panel (second operation panel).
  • the operator sees the monitor image and according to the screen registration condition, the operator performs the regulation of the registration on the regulating operation panel attached to the centralized operation panel.
  • the regulation operation panel performs the same control as the first registration operation panel attached to each screen unit, and the registration regulation can be completely remote-controlled.
  • the effort of confirming and regulating the state of the registration for every screen on the side of the screen printing machine can be saved, and the state of the registration of the printing machine can be inspected by one person for several machines.
  • the screen registration condition of the printing surface can be displayed on an enlarged scale 2 to 4 times (4 to 16 times in area for one side).
  • the subtle screen registration state can be confirmed with a higher precision by the monitor television than by the naked eye inspection.
