In short, edge printing machines have an important position in the field of printing. With its precise printing positioning, high-quality printing effect and wide range of applications, it provides strong support for product identification and decoration in various industries.

The type of edge printing machine

Diverse types of presentation

Edge printing machines can be divided into many types according to different technical principles and application scenarios.

From the perspective of technical principles, there are mainly the following types. One is the inkjet edge press, which uses inkjet technology to accurately spray ink to the edge of the object. This type of edge press has the characteristics of fast printing speed and rich color, which is suitable for edge printing of products with high color requirements, such as the shell edge of some high-end electronic products. According to statistics, the printing speed of inkjet edge printing machine can reach tens of meters per minute, which can meet the needs of large-scale production. The second is the screen printing edge press, which leaks ink to the edge of the object through the screen plate. Screen printing edge printing machine is suitable for printing a large area of patterns and text, the printing effect is clear and firm, often used in the packaging industry box edge printing. The third is a thermal transfer edge press, which uses thermal transfer technology to transfer the pattern from the transfer film to the edge of the object. This type of edge press can achieve high-precision printing, and the printed pattern has the advantages of wear resistance and not easy to fade, which is suitable for some products that need long-term use, such as tools, instruments, and so on.

From the perspective of application scenarios, it can be divided into industrial edge presses and civilian edge presses. Industrial edge presses usually have higher printing accuracy and stability, and can adapt to long periods of continuous work. For example, in the automotive manufacturing industry, industrial edge presses can print identification and coding for the edges of automotive parts for easy traceability and management. Civilian edge printing presses pay more attention to the ease of operation and cost effectiveness, which is suitable for some small businesses and individual users. For example, some small gift makers can use civilian edge printing presses to print personalized patterns and text on the edge of the gift box to increase the uniqueness of the gift.

(1) Unique performance advantages

Edge printing machines have unique characteristics in terms of edge exposure. For example, the edge exposure machine of the display substrate can make the motion path of the exposure component parallel to the edge of the display substrate and improve the edge exposure quality of the display substrate through the synergistic action of the bearing platform, the bearing bracket, the exposure component and the detection component. The exposure path of the reference exposure assembly can coincide with the rotation axis of the first mounting plate, the counterexposure assembly can rotate with the first mounting plate around the rotation axis, and the detection assembly is used to detect the relative position between the exposure assembly and the display substrate to ensure the accuracy of the exposure.

In terms of printing, edge presses can achieve accurate printing on the edges of various shapes. Whether it is a flat edge or a curved edge, it can achieve clear and accurate printing effect. Taking the edge cutting machine as an example, by setting the cutting blade on the frame, the rotation of the guide roller on the upper edge will cut the excess periphery of the cloth being transmitted and printed, so as to realize the synchronous cutting in the printing process and improve the production efficiency. At the same time, the setting of the upper edge guide roller and the lower edge guide roller of the edge cutting press makes the cloth pass between the two, and plays the guiding role of the cloth, so that the edge cutting is more accurate and effective.

In terms of printing, edge sealing printing machine has high printing accuracy and restores images. The pattern is imported into the computer, and the computer outputs it to the material such as the edge banding strip through the printer, and the printed pattern is exactly the same as the original drawing. This machine is mainly used for the surface pattern printing of furniture sealing strip, door panel, gusset plate, shutter and so on. The pattern printed by this machine is clear and vivid, and the three-dimensional sense is strong.

Compared with traditional printing presses, edge printing presses have obvious differences. Traditional printing presses are usually suitable for flat printing, and the printing effect is not good for the edge of the object. Edge presses are designed specifically for the edges of objects and can be printed in a smaller space, adapting to the edges of objects of various shapes and sizes. In addition, edge presses also have advantages in printing speed, accuracy and stability. For example, the printing speed of inkjet edge printing machine can reach tens of meters per minute, which can meet the needs of large-scale production; Thermal transfer edge printing machine can achieve high precision printing, and the printed pattern has the advantages of wear resistance and not easy to fade.

(2) Advanced technical characteristics

Edge printing machine has many unique features in technology. First of all, edge presses have the characteristics of high efficiency. For example, as one of the indispensable equipment for panel furniture to improve the appearance, the automatic edge banding machine is widely used in panel furniture panel edge banding, its functions are mainly preheating - gluing - pressing - front and back - rough repair - fine repair - scraping - polishing and other functions, which greatly improves the work efficiency. At the same time, it can also be equipped with pre-milling, horizontal or vertical slotting, copying tracking and other functions according to customer requirements, realizing multi-functional integration and further improving production efficiency.

Secondly, edge presses have the characteristics of precision. Through the combination of metal deposition, nano-transfer printing and edge etching technology, a new technology to realize nanopatterning has been developed, and the preparation of serial metals and metal oxide nanoarrays has been realized. This technique can transfer the nanostructure onto a soft substrate, which provides the possibility for the preparation of organic flexible electronic components. Moreover, this method is simple to print, and can achieve the purpose of accurate positioning through the operation of PDMS stamps, which has great advantages over the traditional micro and nano preparation technology.

In addition, the edge printing machine also has the characteristics of intelligence. For example, some edge exposure machines can automatically detect the relative position between the exposure component and the display substrate by electrically connecting the detection component with the bearing platform and the first drive component, and adjust it to improve the accuracy and stability of the exposure. At the same time, some edge presses are also equipped with advanced control systems that can adjust the printing position, color and clarity to meet different printing needs.
