  • This grinding line is a line of high contrast, ideally black, printed with the printing pattern of the substrate, called background printing.
  • the reading station then takes this rectification line as a reference to allow a calculation of a lateral deviation with respect to the direction of movement of the substrate relative to the nozzles that deposit the varnish. From the measured deviation, the rectification guide performs a correction of the path by modifying it accordingly so that the rectification line remains strictly centered with the reading system.

Claims (13)

  1. Tintenstrahldruckvorrichtung zum Aufbringen eines Lacks, der einen Überzug auf einer Oberfläche eines Substrats bildet, wobei die Vorrichtung mehrere Arbeitsstationen und wenigstens Folgendes umfasst:
    - ein Eingangsmagazin,
    - ein Ausgangsmagazin,
    - ein Informatikmittel zum Steuern von Operationen an jeder der Arbeitsstationen,
    - ein Mittel zum Bewegen des Substrats zwischen den verschiedenen Arbeitsstationen,
    - ein Mittel zum Ergreifen und Übertragen des Substrats von dem Eingangsmagazin zu dem Bewegungsmittel und von dem Bewegungsmittel zu dem Ausgangsmagazin,
    - mehrere Düsen (12), die in einem Modul untergebracht sind, das einen Druckkopf bildet, wobei wenigstens eine der Düsen von einem Reservoir (7) gespeist wird, das auf das Substrat zu spritzenden Lack enthält, wobei jede der Düsen von einem piezoelektrischen Aktuator in Schwingung versetzt wird, der von einer Vorrichtung (10) zum Steuern und Regeln in der Form einer voltaischen Welle zum Ausstoßen des Lacktropfens aus der Düse in Abhängigkeit von Viskosität und/oder Zusammensetzung des aufzubringenden Lacks gesteuert wird, so dass die Anregung des Aktuators im Hinblick auf Dauer und Leistung die Größe und die Form des Lacktropfens bestimmt,
    - eine Aufbringstation zum Bewirken des Aufbringens des Produkts in einer bestimmten Zone des Substrats,
    dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass
    - das Reservoir auf das Substrat zu spritzenden Lack enthält,
    - zumindest eine Düse der Vorrichtung einen mit einem Steuereinrichtung der Viskosität des Lacktropfens in des Düse verbindenden Heizwiderstand umfasst, wobei der Steuereinrichtung ein Steuer- und RegelMittel der Temperatur des Lacktropfens in der Düse integriert,
    - die Vorrichtung eine die Viskosität messende Sonde (11) und/oder wenigstens einen Sensor umfasst, der die Temperatur des Lacks unterhalb des Reservoirs (7) und oberhalb eines Heizwiderstands misst.
  2. Tintenstrahldruckvorrichtung zum Aufbringen eines Lacks nach Anspruch 1, dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass die Form der voltaischen Welle zum Ausstoßen des Lacktropfens Folgendes umfasst:
    - ein Spannungssignal (1), das dem Zustand einer Lackdüse im Ruhezustand entspricht,

  7. Tintenstrahldruckvorrichtung zum Aufbringen eines Lacks nach einem der Ansprüche 1 bis 6, dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass die Tintenstrahldruckvorrichtung mit einem Mittel zum Programmieren der Vorrichtung zum Steuern und Regeln der Form der voltaischen Welle zum Ausstoßen des Lacktropfens und/oder der Vorrichtung zum Regeln der Viskosität des Lacktropfens in der Düse assoziiert ist.
  8. Tintenstrahldruckvorrichtung zum Aufbringen eines Lacks nach wenigstens einem der vorherigen Ansprüche, dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass die Druckvorrichtung wenigstens eine UV-Lampe unterhalb der Lackabsetzstation umfasst, die mit einer Wellenlänge emittiert, die an die Aktivierung von wenigstens einem Fotoinitiator der Zusammensetzung des spezifischen Lacks der Auflage des gedruckten Substrats angepasst ist.
  9. Tintenstrahldruckvorrichtung zum Aufbringen eines Lacks nach einem der vorherigen Ansprüche, dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass die Druckvorrichtung wenigstens eine Infrarotlampe umfasst, die gegenüber dem Substrat positioniert und oberhalb der UV-Lampe angeordnet ist, um das Substrat vorzutrocknen, wobei die Positionierung gemäß einer optimalen Entfernung in Abhängigkeit von dem Substrat, auf das der Lack aufgebracht wird, und/oder der Zusammensetzung des aufgebrachten Lacks definiert wird.
  10. Tintenstrahldruckvorrichtung zum Aufbringen eines Lacks nach Anspruch 9, dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass wenigstens eine Wellenlänge der Infrarotlampe so gewählt wird, dass eine optimale Vortrocknung in Abhängigkeit von dem Substrat, auf das der Lack aufgebracht wird, und/oder der Zusammensetzung des aufgebrachten Lacks erzielt wird.
