An apparatus with engraved portions and vacuum holes or passages at the lower portion is used to fix and align printed matters, allowing for simultaneous printing on multiple substrates, enhancing pattern precision and process efficiency while reducing costs.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If a printing method is used to form patterns, then process costs are reduced and efficiency is improved, but alignment precision and pattern positioning accuracy deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The printed matter is pre-fixed to the fixing apparatus before the printing process. This preliminary fixation ensures that the printed matter maintains its position accurately during printing, thereby achieving both high productivity and high alignment precision simultaneously.
2Manufacturing precision
If multiple printed matters are processed separately, then alignment precision is maintained, but process time and cost increase
Solution Approach 1:
Multiple printed matters are simultaneously fixed to the fixing apparatus and processed together in a single printing operation. This merging of multiple processing objects achieves both maintained alignment precision and reduced process time through parallel processing.
Solution Approach 2:
The fixing apparatus is designed with multiple fixing positions that can simultaneously hold multiple printed matters. This multi-functional design allows the apparatus to process multiple items in one operation, reducing total process time while maintaining precision through dedicated fixing locations for each item.
3Manufacturing precision
If a single printed matter is fixed at a time, then alignment precision is ensured, but productivity decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The fixing apparatus is segmented into multiple independent fixing positions, each capable of holding a separate printed matter. This segmentation allows multiple printed matters to be fixed and processed simultaneously, thereby increasing productivity while maintaining alignment precision through dedicated fixing locations for each item.
