Introduction
How to avoid falling into the trap of purchasing thick film screen printing machines and choosing electronic printing equipment that is suitable for one's own production needs?
Details
Thick film printer is a type of screen printing machine. Compared with ordinary screen printing machines, thick film printer use screen printing technology to print circuits, patterns, resistors on the surface of electronic components, with a wide range of applications, including the manufacturing of electronic components such as printed circuit boards, vacuum ceramic metallization, sheet shaped components, and thick film circuits. But when choosing, many companies may fall into a misconception due to a lack of comprehensive understanding of the functions of thick film printing machines, which not only takes time and effort, but also may not be able to find thick film printing machines that meet production needs. Therefore, how should we choose a thick film printing machine?
1、 Production demand analysis
Before purchasing a thick film printing machine, first clarify your needs. What type of product needs to be printed? What is the thickness, size, and material of the product? What are the requirements for printing accuracy? What is the budget? Do you have high requirements for consistency of thick films. The answers to these questions will help you choose a suitable thick film printing machine.
2、 Price factor analysis
At present, there are different brands and prices of thick film printing machines on the market. As an enterprise, while meeting production needs, it is understandable to consider the price factor as the primary consideration when purchasing thick film printing machines. But equally, we get what we pay for, and when choosing, we also need to consider why some brands have similar functions, some are expensive, while others are much cheaper. Compare multiple aspects based on one's own needs. Many companies only consider price as the core determining factor when comparing their purchases, only to discover that the equipment does not meet their own production needs after purchasing. Many customers are like this, without comprehensive consideration when purchasing low-priced equipment. They find that they cannot meet production requirements and need to purchase again, resulting in a lot of unnecessary cost and time waste.
3、 Considering printing accuracy and consistency of thick film
The printing accuracy and consistency of thick film printing machines directly affect the performance and quality of the final product. According to accuracy, thick film printing machines can be divided into high-precision thick film printing machines, semi-automatic thick film printing machines, and manual thick film printing machines; The consistency of film thickness is a special process parameter requirement in the industry of precision electronic components such as insulation sealing and resistance deviation, and is also an important indicator for experiencing the stability of thick film printing equipment.
4、 Review equipment performance
When choosing a thick film printing machine, it is important to consider the performance of the equipment, including mechanical performance, electrical performance, and structural design. The mechanical performance mainly includes the movement accuracy of the printing head, the replacement speed of the template and printing plate, etc; Electrical performance mainly includes control systems, printing programs, etc; Structural design mainly refers to the selection of body materials, accessories, and design rationality.
5、 Considering costs and maintenance
In addition to the purchase cost of the equipment itself, consideration should also be given to usage and maintenance costs. The usage cost includes electricity consumption, production efficiency, etc; Maintenance costs include maintenance costs, the cost of replacing parts, and so on. When making a purchase, you can consult the manufacturer for this information.
6、 Consider scalability
When purchasing thick film printing machines, future scalability should also be considered. If your business continues to develop, you may need to add new equipment or upgrade to automated production lines to meet larger production needs. Therefore, when purchasing, one can consider selecting devices with upgrade potential or choosing new devices that are compatible with existing devices.
7、 Understand industry standards and technical capabilities
When purchasing thick film printing machines, understand industry standards and technological development trends. When choosing equipment manufacturers, not only should you consider that the equipment you purchase can meet future market demand, but also help improve your production efficiency and product quality; It may be necessary to consider the technology research and development capabilities of manufacturers, in order to provide various aspects of process technology support for the production upgrade of enterprises.
8、 Professional Services and Support
A good thick film printing machine manufacturer should provide professional services and support, including installation, debugging, operation training, maintenance, etc. When purchasing a thick film printing machine, it is important to understand the services and support that the manufacturer can provide and consider whether additional service agreements or warranty plans are needed.
10、 Usage evaluation and website experience
Before purchasing a thick film printing machine, information can be obtained through Social media, official website, telephone consultation, etc. This will help you make wiser decisions and avoid potential problems during the purchase and use process.
Summary:
Before purchasing a thick film printing machine, it is necessary to conduct a thorough demand analysis and not make the final choice based on a single price factor. The final choice of thick film printing machine should be able to meet your needs, improve production efficiency and quality, and have characteristics such as scalability and sustainability to adapt to future market development requirements.
