Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of circuit board pattern transfer processing, in particular to a circuit board pattern exposure machine. Background Art

[0002] An exposure machine is a device used in the production of PCBs, printed circuit boards, and image printing industries. Its main function is to form a pattern by projecting light onto photosensitive materials, partially exposing the photosensitive materials to light, and then further processing them to form the desired pattern or circuit.

[0003] At present, there are two main types of graphic transfer exposure machine technology development:

[0004] Traditional old-style LED light source exposure machines require film for production, but they have the following disadvantages: 1) The material replacement process takes a long time; 2) The film is prone to expansion and contraction during storage, which results in high costs; 3) The expansion and contraction of incoming materials from the previous process needs to be measured in advance by two-dimensional measurement; 4) The process exposure is prone to film movement and exposure deviation; 5) The alignment time is long;

[0005] The more advanced laser LDI exposure machines currently have defects in production: 1) they use tabletop vacuum suction, and when the board thickness is greater than 2.0mm and the single piece is greater than 4 feet, it is easy to have poor vacuum suction and exposure deviation; 2) they can only expose on one side, which is inefficient. Therefore, we proposed a circuit board graphic exposure machine. Utility Model Content
