Abstract
An apparatus for depositing and/or jetting viscous medium on a surface of a workpiece includes at least two depositing head assemblies. The at least two depositing head assemblies are configured to move in three dimensional space. The at least two depositing head assemblies are also configured to at least one of concurrently and simultaneously deposit the viscous medium on the workpiece.
Claims55
An apparatus for depositing and/or jetting viscous medium on a surface of a workpiece, the apparatus comprising:
- at least two depositing head assemblies, wherein the at least two depositing head assemblies include at least one jetting head assembly, or ejector, configured to perform jet printing of viscous medium.
An apparatus for depositing and/or jetting viscous medium on a workpiece, the apparatus comprising:
- at least two support arrangements configured to move the workpiece in a first direction by transferring the workpiece from a first of the at least two support arrangements to a second of the at least two support arrangements;
- and
- at least one depositing head assembly configured to move in at least the first direction and a second direction, the at least one depositing head assembly being further configured to deposit the viscous medium on the workpiece at least one of concurrently and simultaneously while the workpiece moves between the first and second support arrangements.
A linescan jetting apparatus for depositing and/or jetting viscous medium on a workpiece, the apparatus comprising:
- a conveyor configured to carry the workpiece in a first direction;
- a first set of beams extending longitudinally between opposite sides of a depositing head assembly frame;
- a second set of beams extending longitudinally between the first set of beams, the second set of beams including a first beam and a second beam;
- and
- a first depositing head assembly movably fixed to the first beam, the first depositing head assembly being configured to move along the first beam in a second direction, which is perpendicular to the first direction;
- and
- a second depositing head assembly fixed to the second beam, the second depositing head assembly being configured to move along the second beam in the second direction.
A linescan jetting apparatus for depositing and/or jetting viscous medium on a workpiece, the apparatus comprising:
- a conveyor configured to carry the workpiece in a first direction;
- a first set of beams extending longitudinally between opposite sides of a depositing head assembly frame;
- at least one second beam extending longitudinally between the first set of beams;
- and
- a first depositing head assembly movably fixed to the at least one second beam, the first depositing head assembly being configured to move along the first beam in a second direction, which is perpendicular to the first direction.
A method for depositing and/or jetting viscous medium on a workpiece, the method comprising:
- moving at least two depositing head assemblies in three dimensional space;
- and
- depositing, at least one of concurrently and simultaneously by the at least two depositing head assemblies, the viscous medium on the workpiece.
A method for depositing and/or jetting viscous medium on a workpiece, the method comprising:
- moving the workpiece in a first direction by transferring the workpiece from a first supporting arrangement to a second supporting arrangement;
- moving a depositing head assembly in at least the first direction and a second direction;
- and
- depositing, by the depositing head assembly, the viscous medium on the workpiece at least one of concurrently and simultaneously while the workpiece moves between the first and second supporting arrangement.
A linescan jetting method for depositing and/or jetting viscous medium on a workpiece, the method comprising:
- moving the workpiece in a first direction;
- depositing, by a first depositing head assembly movably fixed to a first beam, the viscous medium on the workpiece while moving the first depositing head assembly along the first beam in a second direction, which is perpendicular to the first direction;
- and
- depositing, by a second depositing head assembly fixed to a second beam, viscous medium on the workpiece while moving the second depositing head assembly along the second beam in the second direction.
A linescan jetting apparatus for depositing and/or jetting viscous medium on a workpiece, the apparatus comprising:
- a conveyor configured to carry the workpiece in a first direction;
- a beam extending longitudinally between opposite sides of a depositing head assembly frame;
- and
- a single depositing head assembly movably fixed to the beam, the first depositing head assembly being configured to move along the beam in a second direction, which is perpendicular to the first direction.
A linescan jetting method for depositing and/or jetting viscous medium on a workpiece, the method comprising:
- moving the workpiece in a first direction;
- and
- depositing, by a depositing head assembly movably fixed to a beam, the viscous medium on the workpiece while moving along the beam in a second direction, which is perpendicular to the first direction.
A linescan jetting method for depositing and/or viscous medium on a workpiece, the method comprising:
- moving the workpiece in a first direction;
- depositing, by a single depositing head assembly movably fixed to a beam, the viscous medium on the workpiece while moving the first depositing head assembly along the beam in a second direction, which is perpendicular to the first direction.
