Abstract
An ejection device includes a discharger that discharges a droplet on an object; a motor that moves the discharger; an imaging device that captures an image of the object; and a controller that: controls the discharger and the motor; and receives the captured image from the imaging device. The discharger outputs a position adjusting mark on the object before discharging the droplet on the object. The controller adjusts a discharge position of the droplet based on the captured image of the object with the position adjusting mark.
Claims18
An ejection device, comprising:
- a discharger that discharges a droplet on an object;
- a motor that moves the discharger;
- an imaging device that captures an image of the object;
- and
- a controller that:
- controls the discharger and the motor;
- and
- receives the captured image from the imaging device,
- wherein the discharger outputs a position adjusting mark on the object before discharging the droplet on the object,
- wherein the controller adjusts a discharge position of the droplet based on the captured image of the object with the position adjusting mark,
- wherein a reference mark on a housing of the ejection device is provided in an imaging range for the captured image of the object and outside a print area of the discharger,
- wherein the controller detects a displacement amount of distance between the position adjusting mark and the reference mark shown on the captured image of the object, and
- wherein the controller adjusts the discharge position based on the displacement amount.
