Definitions
- the present invention relates to the field of glass printing, and especially to printing on flat safety glass.
- Printing on flat glass boards for decoration or coloring purposes involves unique techniques for feeding printing and affixing the printed image on the glass board for long term lasting on the finished product.
- the techniques currently known in the art for glass printing are much more complicated, and as a result - also expensive, comparing to printing methods for printing on surfaces of other materials thus often do not fit for printed glass boards in mass production and in acceptable costs. Accordingly, the market of decoratively printed glasses is not a very developed one, and thus in general a plain (i.e. not printed) glass is commonly used for doors, windows or other glass barriers.
- screen-printing As a result, currently methods for glass printing are mainly based on screen- printing (or silk-printing, both will be referred to hereinafter as "screen-printing") that is the only known method for handling the unique ink compositions that should be used for long lasting printing on flat glass boards.
- screen-printing There are several disadvantages, however, involved in screen-printing of glass boards: difficulties to meet unique customer's requirements (e.g.
- the method and apparatus according to the present invention are inter-alia aimed for the following purposes that are served today by screen-printing: Automotive - vehicle's windscreens and windows have a narrow painted pattern (a frame) around their upper part, which protects the glue that attaches the window to the car frame from the sun UV radiation and decorates the windscreen; Architecture - decorative windows for internal and external use.
- the printed apparatus that should be developed should be capable of functioning with inks that become an integral part of the glass, in an industrial process, which includes heating over 550°C after the printing, and should have comfortable flexibility in printing either large or small printing series, in replacing the printed image from series to series and in changing colors and in full color printing.
- the present invented method and apparatus deal and try to comply with said aims as will become more apparent from the following description.
- the present invention discloses an industrial large format printing apparatus for printing glass based ink on safety flat glass, such as for the automotive OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer), ARG (Automotive Replacement Glass), Architecture and Appliances markets.
- the printing apparatus of the present invention is comprised of the following three basic modules: feeding and positioning module; printing module; and outlet module.
- the feeding and positioning module and the outlet module are one. Actually, they are formed as table, tray, or other horizontal support upon which a user can manually position a glass board (hereinafter will be referred to also as "glass plate”) and adjust it for printing, then remove it after printing has completed, and manually feed another glass board in a similar manner.
- the printing automation concerns only the printing itself (i.e. the computerized operation of the printing head and other utility components that may be accompanying it) while the feeding and removal of glass boards are made manually.
- the feeding and positioning module and/or the outlet module may comprise shifting units which can convey the glass board from an initial upload position to a printing position, or from a printing position to a download position, or a combination thereof (e.g. wherein both system are included in the apparatus either separately, or as walking beams serving for both uploading and downloading applications).
- the glass boards are uploaded and downloaded manually, and the automation is in shifting them to and from the printing position.
- Printing apparatuses of various intermediate degrees of automation can be designed as a response to the market requirements, between the basic semi- automated embodiment and between an in-line multi color fully automated printing apparatus, without departing from the scope of the present invention as will be hereinafter described, and further defined by the claims.
- the three modules can be designed either (a) for a completely manual operations of uploading and downloading of glass boards (wherein the feeding and positioning module and the outlet module ore one); (b) for a semi-automated sequential printing which allows for feeding a next glass for printing, while the outputting of a just printed one is made simultaneously without a halt by means of a mechanized shifting unit which conveys the just printed board to an outlet position; (c) for in-line fully automated sequential printing; or for any intermediate degree of automation according to market requirements or to the preferences of specific customers.
- a primary ink fixation assembly (hereinafter will be referred to also as "primary fixation assembly), which allows for safely handling an outpurted glass board from the printer to firing at a high temperature furnace, without risking the integrity of the just printed image.
- the primary ink fixation assembly is preferably a part of the printing module thus performs the primary fixation simultaneously with the printing such that ink droplets which have just injected from the printing head are immediately being subject to the influence of the primary fixation assembly. It should be noted that after the primary fixation the glass boards are transmitted to firing at such high temperatures such as 550° C and above, for a final fixation of the unique ink, which inter-alia comprises micro particles of glass.
- the printing module according to the present invention will be further comprising at least a part of the following systems and components, each of which will be further described to its particulars in the detailed description chapter: accurate printing head temperature heating system; ink suspension maintenance system; a special electronic control system for controlling the printing head; a special printing head flushing and/or wiping system; collect trays for demo printing (known in the art as "solid bar printing") or for margin printing.
- the digital glass printer according to the present invention further provides for additional important features and applications that cannot be processed through screen-printers.
- the digital glass printer is preferably comprises an accurate linear feeding system (e.g. servo controlled feeding arms - having suction cups for gripping the glass board as will become more apparent from the detailed description of the invention).
- the printing software of the digital glass printer comprises an appropriate algorithm for dividing the printed image to its parts.
- a contact between the printing screen and the glass is essentially required in screen-printing, thus printing a second image portion will damage the formerly printed part by smearing, furthermore an accurate positioning of a second part printing is veiy difficult since the firstly printing screen should be replaced with one adapted to the image of the second part printing wherein the accuracy of positioning of the new screen with respect to the firstly printed image cannot be determined without contacting the screen to the glass surface.
- the replacement of the printing screen between following image portion is cumbersome procedure by itself.
- Another feature of the digital glass printer that cannot be processed by the traditional screen-printers is capturing the positioning of the fed glass board and digitally adapting the image position to the glass board position.
- the digital printer according to the present invention is provided according to various of its preferred embodiments with at least one CCD camera for glass board position capturing, and with corresponding picture processing algorithm in the printing software capable of glass board position recognition for determining the exact positioning of the fed glass board, wherein another algorithm is using for adapting the printed image to the glass board orientation as determined by the position recognition algorithm.
- the glass positioning determination is made by sensor means other than CCD camera, e.g. by laser distance gauge with a corresponding software algorithm.
- Such electronically processed image adjustment on the glass board to be printed cannot be implemented in the traditional screen-printers currently used for glass board printing wherein the only possible image positioning involves physical adjustment of the screen-screen frame respective to the glass board.

- the two opposite side posts (14) and (14a) of the bridge (6) are joined respectively to the riders inside the inner space of the beams (12) and (12a), and thus the synchronous rotation of the rods shifts the bridge (6) along the beams.
- the bridge may be joined to the nut riders of the ball screw through a pivotabl post on its one end, and through a pivotable sliding track on its other end, such that in case of diagonal deviation of the bridge from its neutral lateral orientation, the bridge can pivot on its one end on the pivotable post, and slide and pivot on its other end on the pivotable sliding track, for compensating against its asynchronous advancing along the two screw drives.
- the bridge post (14a) of the present embodiment is pivotable, and the bridge is connected to its other post (14) through a pivotable sliding track (14b)
- the beams are covered from their five directions by metal panels, while the sixth (upper) direction is covered by accordion-like folding cover (13) and (13a), respectively, which allow for movement of the bridge side posts (14) and (14a) along the beams (12) and (12a) while the accordion-like folding covers (13) and (13a) shrink or expand according to the position of the posts (14) and (14a) respective to the beams.
- a printing sequence in the illustrated printed starts by placing a glass board on the feeding table (15), which similarly to the horizontal support (2) is also made of a plurality of spaced bars (16).
- Each bar (16) has on its top several spherical bearings spaced from one another and protruding upwardly, such that when a glass board is placed on the feeding table (15) it can easily be shifted carried on the bearings, to an appropriate alignment position.
- Rulers or stoppers may be applied at a predetermined positions on the bars, either parallel or transversely to the longitudinal directions of the bars, as marginal limits to a glass board to be printed.
- the printer operator instructs the printer through the printer computer terminal (5 a) or by pressing a pedal (not illustrated), to grip the board firmly on the feeding table, which is preformed by means of upwardly oriented suction cups which are then vacuumed to firmly grip the glass board from below, and stress it against the bars to prevent undesired movement.
- At least two walking beams (17) are placed between the table spaced bars (16). The walking beams has also upwardly oriented suction cups for capturing and gripping a glass board.
- the walking beams are lifted slightly by means of pneumatic pistons to contact the lower surface of the glass board with their suction cup, then grip it firmly when the suction cups are vacuumed.
- the vacuum in the suction cups of the feeding table is released, and thereafter the walking beams are further lifted by the pneumatic pistons to elevate the glass print slightly above the spaced bars level, then a servo system pulls the walking beams laterally between the spaced bars of the feeding table and of the horizontal surface, with the glass board gripped from above by their suction cups, until the glass board is brought exactly above its printing position, and the lateral movement of the walking beams is stopped.
- the glass board is now lowered by the pneumatic pistons slightly lowering the walking beams, such that the lower surface of the glass board contacts an array of upwardly oriented tips protruding from the upper end of the spaced bars (3) of the horizontal surface (2).
- the tips could be produced from any smooth rigid material, such as metal, coated metal, plastic or Teflon, or the like.
- a next glass board can now be placed on the feeding table in a similar manner as the first one, while the first one is being printed with the appropriate image as instructed by the system computer (5) or by any external computer in communication with the printing head unit (4).
- the walking beams which meanwhile have been returned by the servo to face the bottom surface of the next glass boards, are elevated by the pneumatic piston for capturing the next glass board similarly to the capturing of the first, now printed, glass board, with the difference that now the walking beams capture simultaneously the first, now printed, glass board, at its printing position on the horizontal support.
- both glass boards been captured by the walking beams suction cups, the suction cups of the feeding table and of the horizontal support are released, and then both glass plates are slightly elevated above the spaced bars (16) and (3), respectively, by the pneumatic pistons which elevate the walking beams, and while the servo controlled lateral movement of the walking beams brings the next glass board exactly above its printing position, the first, now printed, glass board reaches an outlet position above an outlet table (not illustrated) which can be designed similarly to the feeding table (15), or can be a conveyor belt or any other support which can receive printed glass board and hold them until removal.
- a third glass board can be meanwhile loaded to the feeding table (15), while the second glass board is lowered to contact the horizontal support and while simultaneously the first glass board is lowered to contact the outlet table or conveyor.
- three glass boards are treated simultaneously on the illustrated printer embodiment, one of which - in a printing position, one in the feeding table, and one in the outlet module.
- Figure 2 illustrates a side view of the heaters (18)(19) and (20) of the primary ink fixation system according to a selected embodiment of the printer of the present invention.
- the primary ink fixation system allows for drying the ink liquid vehicle, which terminates its duty immediately after the injected ink droplets reach their destination on the glass board.
- the evaporation of the ink liquid vehicle for a primaiy fixation of the printed image on the glass surface is essential for further handling the glass board along a production line without risking the image integrity e.g. as a result of smearing wet ink by unintentional touch, or as a result of wet ink leaking while changing the orientation of a printed glass board from horizontal to a vertical orientation.
- a basic primary ink fixation system is comprised of at least one longitudinal heater (18) or (19) located parallel to the bridge (6).
- the at least one heater is the rear heater (19) which is connected parallel to the bridge (6) in such a position such that it advances along the glass board before the printing head (4), and thus it heats lateral strip-like portions of the glass board prior to being printed, resulting in fast drying of the ink droplets which contact the so heated glass surface.
- the at least one heater is the front heater (18) that is located parallel to the bridge (6) in such a position such that it advances along the glass board after the printing head (4), and thus it heats lateral strip-like portions of the glass board after being printed, resulting in fast drying of the ink droplets resting already on the glass surface which are thus being heated by the front heater (18) from above.
- At least the two heaters (18) and (19) are located parallel to the bridge (6) in such a position such that at least one of the heaters advances along the glass board before the printing head, and thus it heats lateral strip-like portions of the glass board prior to being printed, resulting in fast drying of the ink droplets which contact the so heated glass surface, while the other heater is located in parallel to the bridge in such a position such that it advances along the glass board after the printing head, and thus it heats lateral strip-like portions of the glass board after being printed, resulting in fast drying of the ink droplets from both upper and lower directions.
- the printing direction along the Y- axis could be inverted with no significant affect on the drying process which according to this embodiment comprises both pre-print heating and post-print heating, regardless of the printing direction.
- the primary ink fixation system is comprised of at least one longitudinal heater (18) or (19) located parallel to the bridge (6), and from at least one spot heater unit (20) located near the at least one printing head unit (4) and moveable together with the printing head unit (4) along the bridge.
- both longitudinal (18) or (19) and spot heater (20) units are designed as to heat the glass surface close prior to the printing.
- both (18) or (19) and (20) are designed to heat the glass surface closely after printing.
- at least one heater unit (18) or (19) or (20) is located as to heat the glass surface prior to printing while at least one other heater (18) (or (19) or (20) is designed to print the glass surface after printing.
- the printing direction could be switched. Accordingly, the same heater which heats the glass surface prior to the printing in a first printing direction may become heating the glass surface after the printing in case the printing direction has switched.
- the primary ink fixation system comprises at least one ultraviolet lamp (21) for UV ink curing.
- the heater units (18) and (19) may be connected directly to the bridge (6), or through side posts directly to the screw drive inside the side beams.
- the heater unit (20) and the UV lamp (21) may be connected directly to the printing head unit (4) or to an arm such as the one through which the printing head unit is connected to the linear motor inside the bridge space.

- the printing head unit returns surplus inlc volumes back to the main ink tank through eight pipes (50) (only one of the eight pipes (50) is illustrated in this figure, the other seven are connected respectively to the other seven printing heads of the array) and through the ink filter (52) and the pipe (51), thus forming another ink circulation path.
- the printing head flushing system is comprised of the solvent tank (53), solvent pump (54), solvent by-pass inlet and outlet pipes (54a) and (54b), solvent supply line (55a) (55b) and 5 micron filter (56).
- the flush pump (54) is activated and the valve of the eight channel manifold switching valve (48) is switched to block the ink flow from the ink supply line (461) and to let the solvent flowing from the solvent supply line (55b) to the printing heads, which are thus being flushed by a solvent being injected tlirough the plurality of injection orifices of the printing head unit.
- the switching valve (48) blocks the solvent supply line (55b) and the pump (54) still forms pressure, it is released through the by pass line formed by pipes (54a) and (54b).
- Figure 4 illustrates an isometric view of a selected embodiment of an actual unit comprising mid ink tank, eight channel manifold and switching valves, of an ink supply system according to a selected embodiment.
- the mid ink tank according to the illustrated embodiment is comprised of an inlc container (60) having circulation line inlet (61) and circulation line outlet (63), and an eight outlets hub comprising the outlets (62a) to (62h).

- FIG. 5 illustrates an isometric view of a printing head wiping assembly according to a selected embodiment.
- the wiping assembly (80) is connected near one end of the bridge (81) such that the printing head (not illustrated in this figure) could be brought to a wiping position from above the wiping assembly (80).
- the wiping assembly comprises a bath tube (82) with two upwardly oriented wipers (83a) and (83b).
- the bath tube (82) is for receiving flushing solvent injected through the plurality of injection orifices of the printing head during a flushing procedure. At the end of the flushing procedure, the orifices may still have solvent and ink remaining. These should be wiped off.
- the wiping is executed in two main motions.
- the first motion is performed by the vertical pneumatic piston (84) which elevates the bath tube (82) along the vertical sliding tracks (85a) and (85b) such that the wipers (83a) and (83b) contact the bottom of the printing heads array.
- the second motion is performed by the horizontal pneumatic piston (86) which slides the bath tube (82) along the horizontal sliding tracks (87a) and (87b) such that the wipers (83a) and (83b) move over the printing heads injection orifices, thus wiping the remaining solvent and ink droplets suspended from the bottom of the printing heads array. Thereafter the vertical piston may lower the bath tube (82).
- the wiping assembly further comprises self flushing device (88) having a plurality of apertures (88b) (which cannot be observed in the illustrated perspective since they face the opposite side of the self flushing device (88)) and (88a), tlirough which solvent may flow upon activation, to flush the wipers (83a) and (83b).
- the bath tube (82) with the wipers is brought by the horizontal pneumatic piston (86) to a position underneath the self flushing device (88), then elevated by the vertical piston (84) such that the aperture groups (88a) and (88b) are exactly facing the wipers (83a) and (83b), respectively, thus flushing the wipers with jets of solvent.
- Figure 6 illustrates a side view with partial cross sectional view of a printing head capping assembly according to a selected embodiment of the present invention.
- Four printing heads (90a) to (90d) are illustrated in a vertical cross sectional view.
- Each of the printing heads has at its bottom a plurality of inlc injecting orifices (not illustrated in this figure) which preferably should be capped whenever the printer is not in use (i.e. during night hours) in order to prevent drying of ink sediments inside the printing heads.
- the capping is made by a resilient and liquid opaque pad (91) which is supported by a rigid plate (92) connected through adjusting springs (93) (only one of which can be observed in the illustrated cross section view) and through bolts (94) (only one of which can be observed in the illustrated cross section view) to a base plate (95) which is connected to the top end of a vertically oriented piston.
- a resilient and liquid opaque pad (91) which is supported by a rigid plate (92) connected through adjusting springs (93) (only one of which can be observed in the illustrated cross section view) and through bolts (94) (only one of which can be observed in the illustrated cross section view) to a base plate (95) which is connected to the top end of a vertically oriented piston.
- Figure 7 illustrates a top view of glass board in printing position, and indicates the location where a margin printing should be performed.
- a glass board (201) to be printed is illustrated in a printing position, supported by a horizontal support made of a plurality of spaced bars (200a) to (200j) each of which is provided on its right side with a collect tray (202) for demo printing.
- Figure 7a illustrates a portion of what illustrated by figure 7, in an enlarged transversal cross sectional view.
- the corner (201a) of the glass board (201) should be printed, and therefore in order to prevent ink spoilage it is positioned from aboe a collect tray (202) which is attached to a respective bar (200h) of the horizontal support upon which rest the glass board in printing position.
- a collect tray (202) which is attached to a respective bar (200h) of the horizontal support upon which rest the glass board in printing position.
- the collect tray (202) may be equipped with a strip (203) of spongy material or cloth for receiving the ink.
- the spongy strip (203) could be easily replaced from time to time, thus the collect tray could be maintained in well condition for long terms.
- the same collect tray could be utilized for demo printing when need rise to initialize a printing with the printing heads already in normal printing conditions (i.e. after acceleration and in normal speed and ink flow).
- FIG. 8 illustrate top view of two step printing of oversized glass board, according to the present invention.
- An oversized glass board (211) to be printed is illustrated in a first printing position corresponding to printable a sub section (212) being a first part from an oversized image to be printed.
- the oversized glass board is supported on a horizontal support made of a plurality of spaced bars (210a) to (210j).
- the oversized glass board is shifted to a second printing position, and a corresponding printable sub-section of the image is printed.
- This illustration relates to an oversized glass board which require 2 stage printing for having a complete image. It could be appreciated however that 3, 4 or other number of multi stage printing stages could be performed in a similar manner (i.e. each printed sub section may be considered a first, respective to the next one), in case glass board oversize requiring such numbers of sub sections to be printed.
- Another advantage of the digital ink-jet glass printer according to the present invention is the ability for facile pre-printing test.
- Pre-printing test is especially required when printing glass boards that are already cut to their final shape and size, and wherein the image to be printed has portions that are adjacent the margins of the glass boards, as is the case in the present figure.
- Pre-printing test marks (213) and (214) could easily be printed prior to printing the margins (212). This test marks will then be covered by the actual printing.
- the pre-printing test is not linked to a multi stage printing, and is recommended whenever the material is already cut to its final shape and thus a deviation in the image positioning may not have remedy later on by cutting the material according to the image location. Accordingly, the present invention provides for using cut and shaped glass plates, and printing them accurately. It can be appreciated that in screen-printing machine such pre-printing of test marks is not so facile, and requires a special frame to be prepared with the teat marks alone.
