Abstract
A printing table arrangement includes at least one printing device for printing of substrates, at least one printing table, a first transport device to transport the substrates being printed in a first plane, and a lifting device to move the first transport device with the first plane between a printing plane assigned to the printing device and a transport plane lying underneath. The printing table has a second transport device to transport substrates in a second plane beneath the first plane, in which the fixed spacing between the first plane and the second plane corresponds to the spacing between the printing plane and transport plane.
Claims11
A printing table arrangement comprising:
- at least one printing device for printing of substrates;
- at least a first printing table;
- a first transport device to transport the substrates being printed in a first plane;
- a lifting device to move the first transport device with the first plane between a printing plane assigned to the printing device and a transport plane lying underneath;
- and
- a second transport device to transport substrates in a second plane beneath the first plane, in which a fixed spacing between the first plane and the second plane corresponds to a spacing between the printing plane and transport plane.
A method of operation of a printing table arrangement having at least one printing device for printing a plurality of substrates and with at least one printing table, which has a first transport device to transport the substrates being printed in a first plane and a lifting device to move the first transport device with the first plane between a printing plane assigned to the printing device and a transport plane lying underneath, the printing table having a second transport device to transport substrates and a second plane beneath the first plane, and in which a fixed spacing between the first plane and the second plane corresponding to the spacing between the printing plane and the transport plane, the method comprising:
- moving the first transport device with the first plane in the transport plane;
- feeding a first substrate to the first transport device of the first printing table;
- moving the first transport device with the first plane in the printing plane for printing of the first substrate by the printing device;
- and feeding a second substrate to the second transport device lying in the transport plane and transport of the second substrate by the second transport device through the printing table while the printing device is printing the first substrate.
