Abstract
A device to check and correct the position of plates for electronics, associated with a loading station of the plates and with a printing unit of an apparatus for depositing metal or other material, in which there is a video acquisition member to acquire at least an image indicating a position occupied by the plate in the loading station. The device comprises movement and positioning means suitable for the reciprocal alignment of the printing unit and the plate, as detected in the loading station, there also being present a control, processing and governing unit.
Claims11
A device to check and correct the position of plates for electronics, associated with a loading station of said plates and a printing unit of an apparatus for depositing metal or other material, in which there is a video acquisition member to acquire at least an image indicating a position occupied by the plate in the loading station, the device comprising movement and positioning means able to allow a reciprocal alignment of the printing unit and the plate, according to the position detected in the loading station, there also being present a control, processing and governing unit.
A method to check and correct the position of plates for electronics, comprising:
- a first step in which a plate is deposited in a loading station;
- and
- a second step in which a video acquisition member detects the position of the plate and sends the information to a control and governing unit which registers and calculates the exact position of the plate lying in said loading station;
- and
- a third step in which metal or other material is deposited on the plate by means of a printing unit, wherein in said third step, before depositing the metal or other material, the printing unit and the plate are put in the correct printing position.
