Description

印刷装置printer
　この発明は、印刷装置に関し、特に、スキージによりマスク上の塗布材を基板に印刷する印刷装置に関する。 The present invention relates to a printing apparatus, and more particularly to a printing apparatus that prints a coating material on a mask onto a substrate using a squeegee.
　従来、スキージによりマスク上の塗布材を基板に印刷する印刷装置が知られている。このような印刷装置は、たとえば、国際公開第２０１８／１０５０１６号に開示されている。 Conventionally, there has been known a printing apparatus that uses a squeegee to print a coating material on a mask onto a substrate. Such a printing device is disclosed, for example, in WO2018/105016.
　上記国際公開第２０１８／１０５０１６号には、スキージによりスクリーンマスク上のはんだを基板に印刷する印刷装置が開示されている。この印刷装置の前方には、交換用のスキージとスクリーンマスクとを収納する収納装置が配置されている。印刷装置は、収納装置にスキージを搬出し、収納装置から交換用のスキージを搬入することにより、スキージを交換する。また、印刷装置は、収納装置にスクリーンマスクを搬出し、収納装置から交換用のスクリーンマスクを搬入することにより、スクリーンマスクを交換する。この印刷装置では、スキージとスクリーンマスクとが別々に搬入出される。 The above International Publication No. 2018/105016 discloses a printing apparatus that prints solder on a screen mask onto a substrate using a squeegee. In front of this printing apparatus, a storage device for storing replacement squeegees and screen masks is arranged. The printing apparatus replaces the squeegee by unloading the squeegee into the storage device and loading the replacement squeegee from the storage device. Further, the printing apparatus replaces the screen mask by carrying out the screen mask to the storage device and carrying in the replacement screen mask from the storage device. In this printing apparatus, the squeegee and the screen mask are carried in and out separately.
国際公開第２０１８／１０５０１６号WO2018/105016
　しかしながら、上記国際公開第２０１８／１０５０１６号に記載された印刷装置では、スキージとスクリーンマスクとが別々に搬入出されるため、スキージとスクリーンマスクとで個別に交換する段取り時間が必要である。この場合、段取り時間が増加するという問題点がある。 However, in the printing apparatus described in International Publication No. 2018/105016, the squeegee and the screen mask are carried in and out separately, so setup time is required to replace the squeegee and the screen mask individually. In this case, there is a problem that the setup time increases.
　この発明は、上記のような課題を解決するためになされたものであり、この発明の１つの目的は、段取り時間を効果的に削減することが可能な印刷装置を提供することである。 The present invention has been made to solve the problems described above, and one object of the present invention is to provide a printing apparatus that can effectively reduce setup time.
　この発明の一の局面による印刷装置は、マスク上の塗布材を基板に印刷するスキージと、スキージとマスクとを同時に移動させる移動機構と、スキージとマスクとを同時に搬入または搬出するように、移動機構を制御する制御部と、を備える。 A printing apparatus according to one aspect of the present invention includes a squeegee for printing a coating material on a mask onto a substrate, a moving mechanism for simultaneously moving the squeegee and the mask, and a moving mechanism for simultaneously loading or unloading the squeegee and the mask. and a control unit for controlling the mechanism.
　この発明の一の局面による印刷装置では、上記のように、スキージとマスクとを同時に移動させる移動機構と、スキージとマスクとを同時に搬入または搬出するように、移動機構を制御する制御部と、を設ける。これにより、スキージとマスクとを個別に段取りする場合とは異なり、スキージとマスクとを同時に段取り（交換）することができるので、段取り時間を効果的に削減することができる。 In the printing apparatus according to one aspect of the present invention, as described above, a moving mechanism for simultaneously moving the squeegee and the mask; set up. Thus, unlike the case where the squeegee and the mask are separately arranged, the squeegee and the mask can be arranged (exchanged) at the same time, so that the arrangement time can be effectively reduced.
　上記一の局面による印刷装置において、好ましくは、マスクに装着され、スキージが配置される配置部材をさらに備え、移動機構は、スキージが配置された配置部材が装着されたマスクを移動させることにより、スキージとマスクとを同時に搬入するように構成されている。このように構成すれば、配置部材をマスクに装着するだけで、移動機構によりスキージとマスクとを同時に搬入することができるので、スキージとマスクとを同時に搬入する構成を簡素な構成で実現することができる。 The printing apparatus according to the above aspect preferably further includes an arrangement member attached to the mask and arranged with the squeegee, and the moving mechanism moves the mask to which the arrangement member with the squeegee arranged is attached, It is configured so that the squeegee and the mask are carried in at the same time. With this configuration, the squeegee and the mask can be simultaneously carried in by the moving mechanism only by attaching the arrangement member to the mask. can be done.
　この場合、好ましくは、移動機構は、スキージがマスク上または配置部材上に配置された状態で、マスクを移動させることにより、スキージとマスクとを同時に搬出するように構成されている。このように構成すれば、スキージをマスク上または配置部材上に配置するだけで、移動機構によりスキージとマスクとを同時に搬出することができるので、スキージとマスクとを同時に搬出する構成を簡素な構成で実現することができる。また、スキージがマスク上または配置部材上に配置された状態で搬出されるので、塗布材が付着した使用済みのスキージとマスクとを一緒に取り扱うことができる。その結果、塗布材が付着した使用済みのスキージとマスクとの清掃の作業性を向上させることができる。また、スキージがマスク上に配置された状態で搬出される場合には、マスクは元々清掃が必要な部品であるため、清掃が必要になる部品を少なくすることができる。 In this case, preferably, the moving mechanism is configured to carry out the squeegee and the mask at the same time by moving the mask while the squeegee is placed on the mask or on the placement member. With this configuration, the squeegee and the mask can be simultaneously carried out by the moving mechanism only by arranging the squeegee on the mask or on the arranging member. can be realized by In addition, since the squeegee is carried out while being placed on the mask or on the arranging member, the used squeegee with the coating material adhering thereto and the mask can be handled together.

　クランプ機構５８は、シリンダ５８ａと、クランププレート５８ｂとを有する。シリンダ５８ａは、クランププレート５８ｂをＸ方向に駆動するように構成されている。クランププレート５８ｂは、シリンダ５８ａの駆動力により、スキージ５１の取付部であるノブ５１ｃに係合する係合位置と、ノブ５１ｃと係合しない非係合位置との間で移動するように構成されている。 The clamp mechanism 58 has a cylinder 58a and a clamp plate 58b. Cylinder 58a is configured to drive clamp plate 58b in the X direction. The clamp plate 58b is configured to move between an engagement position where it engages with the knob 51c, which is the mounting portion of the squeegee 51, and a non-engagement position where it does not engage with the knob 51c by the driving force of the cylinder 58a. ing.
　クランププレート５８ｂは、Ｌ字状に形成されており、第１部分５８ｂａと、第２部分５８ｂｂとを有する。第１部分５８ｂａは、シリンダ５８ａのロッド５８ａａに取り付けられている。第２部分５８ｂｂは、第１部分５８ｂａからＸ方向の内側に延びており、ノブ５１ｃに係合するように構成されている。また、クランプ機構５８は、Ｒ軸出力部５４ｃのＸ１方向側の端部とＸ２方向側の端部に１つずつ設けられている。 The clamp plate 58b is L-shaped and has a first portion 58ba and a second portion 58bb. The first portion 58ba is attached to the rod 58aa of the cylinder 58a. The second portion 58bb extends inward in the X direction from the first portion 58ba and is configured to engage the knob 51c. One clamp mechanism 58 is provided at each of the X1-direction end and the X2-direction end of the R-axis output portion 54c.
　ノブ５１ｃは、スキージ５１の本体５１ａのスキージ面５１ａａとは反対側（Ｚ１方向側）の面から、Ｚ１方向側に突出している。ノブ５１ｃには、クランププレート５８ｂの第２部分５８ｂｂと係合する係合部であるくびれ部５１ｃａが形成されている。また、ノブ５１ｃは、スキージ５１の本体５１ａに、Ｘ方向に離間して２つ設けられている。 The knob 51c protrudes in the Z1 direction from the surface of the main body 51a of the squeegee 51 opposite to the squeegee surface 51aa (Z1 direction side). The knob 51c is formed with a constricted portion 51ca, which is an engaging portion that engages with the second portion 58bb of the clamp plate 58b. Two knobs 51c are provided on the main body 51a of the squeegee 51 so as to be spaced apart in the X direction.
　スキージ５１がスキージヘッド５７に装着される場合、まず、スキージヘッド５７が、スキージＺ軸駆動部５３により、配置部材９０上に配置されたスキージ５１に向かって下降される。そして、クランププレート５８ｂの第２部分５８ｂｂと、スキージ５１のノブ５１ｃとの高さ位置が揃った状態（第２部分５８ｂｂとノブ５１ｃとが水平方向に対向した状態）になる。この状態で、２つのクランプ機構５８のシリンダ５８ａにより、クランププレート５８ｂがＸ方向の内側に駆動される。その結果、２つのクランププレート５８ｂによりスキージ５１の２つのノブ５１ｃが、Ｘ方向に挟み込まれる。これにより、スキージ５１がスキージヘッド５７に装着される。 When the squeegee 51 is attached to the squeegee head 57 , the squeegee head 57 is first lowered toward the squeegee 51 arranged on the arrangement member 90 by the squeegee Z-axis drive section 53 . Then, the height positions of the second portion 58bb of the clamp plate 58b and the knob 51c of the squeegee 51 are aligned (the second portion 58bb and the knob 51c face each other in the horizontal direction). In this state, the clamp plates 58b are driven inward in the X direction by the cylinders 58a of the two clamp mechanisms 58. As shown in FIG. As a result, the two knobs 51c of the squeegee 51 are sandwiched between the two clamp plates 58b in the X direction. Thereby, the squeegee 51 is attached to the squeegee head 57 .
　また、スキージ５１がスキージヘッド５７から取り外される場合、まず、２つのクランプ機構５８のシリンダ５８ａにより、クランププレート５８ｂがＸ方向の外側に駆動される。その結果、２つのクランププレート５８ｂによるスキージ５１の２つのノブ５１ｃの挟み込みが解除される。そして、スキージヘッド５７が、スキージＺ軸駆動部５３により、スキージ５１から離間するように上昇される。これにより、スキージ５１がスキージヘッド５７から取り外される。また、この際、スキージ５１がマスクＭ上または配置部材９０上に配置される。なお、スキージ５１をマスクＭ上または配置部材９０上のいずれに配置するかは、ユーザの入力操作に基づいて、印刷装置１に予め設定されている。 When the squeegee 51 is removed from the squeegee head 57, first, the clamp plates 58b are driven outward in the X direction by the cylinders 58a of the two clamp mechanisms 58. As shown in FIG. As a result, the clamping of the two knobs 51c of the squeegee 51 by the two clamp plates 58b is released. Then, the squeegee head 57 is lifted away from the squeegee 51 by the squeegee Z-axis driving section 53 . The squeegee 51 is thereby removed from the squeegee head 57 . Also, at this time, the squeegee 51 is arranged on the mask M or the arrangement member 90 . It should be noted that whether the squeegee 51 is arranged on the mask M or on the arrangement member 90 is preset in the printer 1 based on the user's input operation.
　また、本実施形態では、図１４に示すように、スキージヘッド５７のＲ軸出力部５４ｃには、スキージ５１のスキージヘッド５７への装着の有無を検出する検出部５９が設けられている。検出部５９は、近接センサであり、スキージ５１がスキージヘッド５７に装着された状態で、スキージ５１に近接する位置に配置されている。スキージ５１がスキージヘッド５７に装着された状態では、検出部５９により、スキージ５１の存在が検出されるため、スキージ５１がスキージヘッド５７に装着されていることを検出可能である。また、スキージ５１がスキージヘッド５７に装着されていない状態では、検出部５９により、スキージ５１の存在が検出されないため、スキージ５１がスキージヘッド５７に装着されていないことを検出可能である。検出部５９の近接センサとしては、特に限られないが、たとえば、光学式の近接センサを使用可能である。また、検出部５９は、スキージヘッド５７のＲ軸出力部５４ｃのＸ１方向側の部分に、１つのみ設けられている。 Further, in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 14, the R-axis output portion 54c of the squeegee head 57 is provided with a detection portion 59 that detects whether or not the squeegee 51 is attached to the squeegee head 57. The detection unit 59 is a proximity sensor and is arranged at a position close to the squeegee 51 when the squeegee 51 is attached to the squeegee head 57 . When the squeegee 51 is attached to the squeegee head 57 , the presence of the squeegee 51 is detected by the detection unit 59 , so that it can be detected that the squeegee 51 is attached to the squeegee head 57 . In addition, when the squeegee 51 is not attached to the squeegee head 57 , the presence of the squeegee 51 is not detected by the detection unit 59 , so that it can be detected that the squeegee 51 is not attached to the squeegee head 57 . The proximity sensor of detection unit 59 is not particularly limited, but for example, an optical proximity sensor can be used. Further, only one detection portion 59 is provided in the portion of the squeegee head 57 on the X1 direction side of the R-axis output portion 54c.
　また、検出部５９は、シリンダ５８ａの検出部５８ａｂとは別個に設けられている。シリンダ５８ａの検出部５８ａｂは、ロッド５８ａａの位置を検出する位置センサである。検出部５８ａｂにより、ロッド５８ａａの位置が検出されるため、クランププレート５８ｂが、スキージ５１を挟み込むクランプ状態であるか、または、スキージ５１の挟み込みを解除したアンクランプ状態であるかを検出可能である。検出部５８ａｂの位置センサとしては、特に限られないが、たとえば、磁気式の位置センサを使用可能である。 Also, the detection portion 59 is provided separately from the detection portion 58ab of the cylinder 58a. A detector 58ab of the cylinder 58a is a position sensor that detects the position of the rod 58aa. Since the detection portion 58ab detects the position of the rod 58aa, it is possible to detect whether the clamp plate 58b is in a clamped state in which the squeegee 51 is clamped or in an unclamped state in which the clamping of the squeegee 51 is released. . The position sensor of the detector 58ab is not particularly limited, but for example, a magnetic position sensor can be used.

　図１５を参照して、本実施形態の印刷装置１による印刷に関する制御処理をフローチャートに基づいて説明する。なお、フローチャートの各処理は、制御装置９により実行される。 (Control processing related to printing)
Referring to FIG. 15, a control process relating to printing by the printing apparatus 1 of this embodiment will be described based on a flowchart. Each process in the flowchart is executed by the control device 9 .
　図１５に示すように、まず、ステップＳ１０１において、スキージ５１とマスクＭとを同時に搬入する搬入処理が行われる。そして、ステップＳ１０２において、基板Ｂの生産（印刷動作）が行われる。そして、ステップＳ１０２において、基板Ｂの生産が終了されると、ステップＳ１０３において、スキージ５１とマスクＭとを同時に搬出する搬出処理が行われる。そして、制御処理が終了される。 As shown in FIG. 15, first, in step S101, a carrying-in process of carrying in the squeegee 51 and the mask M at the same time is performed. Then, in step S102, production (printing operation) of the substrate B is performed. Then, in step S102, when the production of the substrate B is completed, in step S103, a carry-out process of carrying out the squeegee 51 and the mask M at the same time is performed.

Next, with reference to FIG. 16, details of the carry-in processing in step S101 of FIG. 15 will be described based on a flowchart. Each process in the flowchart is executed by the control device 9 .
　図１６に示すように、ステップＳ１１１において、マスクスライダ５５により、マスク交換ユニット７から作業位置Ｗに、スキージ５１とマスクＭとが同時搬入される。すなわち、マスクスライダ５５により、スキージ５１が配置された配置部材９０が装着されたマスクＭが移動されることにより、スキージ５１とマスクＭとが同時搬入される。 As shown in FIG. 16, in step S111, the mask slider 55 simultaneously carries the squeegee 51 and the mask M from the mask exchange unit 7 to the work position W. That is, the squeegee 51 and the mask M are carried in at the same time by moving the mask M on which the arranging member 90 on which the squeegee 51 is arranged is moved by the mask slider 55 .
　そして、ステップＳ１１２において、マスククランプ部材５により、マスクＭが挟み込まれてクランプされる。これにより、作業位置Ｗでのスキージ５１のＹ方向の位置が決定される。また、標識部９３によりマスクＭに対して配置部材９０がＸ方向に位置決めされているとともに、支持部９５により配置部材９０に対してスキージ５１がＸ方向に位置決めされているので、作業位置Ｗでのスキージ５１のＸ方向の位置が決定されている。このため、スキージ５１を正確な位置に配置することが可能であり、スキージ５１のスキージヘッド５７への装着の前に、センサによりスキージ５１の位置を検出する必要がない。これにより、スキージヘッド５７にスキージ５１を容易に装着することが可能である。 Then, in step S112, the mask M is sandwiched and clamped by the mask clamping members 5 . Thereby, the position of the squeegee 51 in the Y direction at the working position W is determined. In addition, since the placement member 90 is positioned in the X direction with respect to the mask M by the marking portion 93 and the squeegee 51 is positioned in the X direction with respect to the placement member 90 by the support portion 95, , the position of the squeegee 51 in the X direction is determined. Therefore, the squeegee 51 can be placed at an accurate position, and there is no need to detect the position of the squeegee 51 with a sensor before mounting the squeegee 51 on the squeegee head 57 . This makes it possible to easily mount the squeegee 51 on the squeegee head 57 .
　そして、ステップＳ１１３において、スキージＹ軸駆動部５２により、スキージヘッド５７がスキージ５１をクランプするクランプ位置に移動される。なお、クランプ位置とは、配置部材９０に配置されたスキージ５１の上方位置である。 Then, in step S113, the squeegee Y-axis drive unit 52 moves the squeegee head 57 to the clamping position where the squeegee 51 is clamped. The clamp position is the upper position of the squeegee 51 arranged on the arrangement member 90 .
　そして、ステップＳ１１４において、スキージＺ軸駆動部５３により、スキージヘッド５７が、配置部材９０に配置されたスキージ５１に向かって下降される。 Then, in step S<b>114 , the squeegee Z-axis drive unit 53 lowers the squeegee head 57 toward the squeegee 51 arranged on the arrangement member 90 .
　そして、ステップＳ１１５において、クランプ機構５８により、スキージ５１が挟み込まれてクランプされる。これにより、スキージ５１がスキージヘッド５７に装着される。 Then, in step S115, the squeegee 51 is sandwiched and clamped by the clamp mechanism 58. Thereby, the squeegee 51 is attached to the squeegee head 57 .
　そして、ステップＳ１１６において、スキージＺ軸駆動部５３により、スキージヘッド５７が上昇される。 Then, in step S116, the squeegee head 57 is raised by the squeegee Z-axis driving section 53.
　そして、ステップＳ１１７において、検出部５９の検出結果に基づいて、スキージ５１がスキージヘッド５７に装着されているか否かが判断される。検出部５９によりスキージ５１の存在が検出されている場合、スキージ５１がスキージヘッド５７に装着されていると判断されて、搬入処理が終了される。 Then, in step S117, it is determined whether or not the squeegee 51 is attached to the squeegee head 57 based on the detection result of the detection unit 59. When the presence of the squeegee 51 is detected by the detection unit 59, it is determined that the squeegee 51 is attached to the squeegee head 57, and the carry-in process ends.
　また、検出部５９によりスキージ５１の存在が検出されていない場合、スキージ５１がスキージヘッド５７に装着されていないと判断されて、ステップＳ１１８に進む。そして、ステップＳ１１８において、エラー停止処理が行われる。エラー停止処理では、印刷装置１の動作が停止されるとともに、ユーザへのエラー通知が行われる。 Further, when the presence of the squeegee 51 is not detected by the detection unit 59, it is determined that the squeegee 51 is not attached to the squeegee head 57, and the process proceeds to step S118. Then, in step S118, error stop processing is performed. In the error stop process, the operation of the printing apparatus 1 is stopped and an error notification is sent to the user.

　図１７に示すように、ステップＳ１２１において、スキージＹ軸駆動部５２により、スキージヘッド５７がスキージ５１をアンクランプするアンクランプ位置に移動される。なお、アンクランプ位置とは、マスクＭの上方位置または配置部材９０の上方位置のうち、予めユーザにより設定された位置である。 As shown in FIG. 17, in step S121, the squeegee Y-axis drive unit 52 moves the squeegee head 57 to the unclamping position where the squeegee 51 is unclamped. The unclamping position is a position set in advance by the user, out of the upper position of the mask M and the upper position of the placement member 90 .
　そして、ステップＳ１２２において、スキージＺ軸駆動部５３により、スキージヘッド５７が、アンクランプ位置に向かって下降される。 Then, in step S122, the squeegee Z-axis driving section 53 lowers the squeegee head 57 toward the unclamping position.
　そして、ステップＳ１２３において、クランプ機構５８により、スキージ５１の挟み込みが解除されてスキージ５１がアンクランプされる。これにより、スキージ５１がスキージヘッド５７から取り外される。 Then, in step S123, the pinching of the squeegee 51 is released by the clamping mechanism 58 and the squeegee 51 is unclamped. The squeegee 51 is thereby removed from the squeegee head 57 .
　そして、ステップＳ１２４において、スキージＺ軸駆動部５３により、スキージヘッド５７が上昇される。 Then, in step S<b>124 , the squeegee head 57 is raised by the squeegee Z-axis drive section 53 .
　そして、ステップＳ１２５において、検出部５９の検出結果に基づいて、スキージ５１がスキージヘッド５７に装着されていないかどうかが判断される。検出部５９によりスキージ５１の存在が検出されていない場合、スキージ５１がスキージヘッド５７に装着されていないと判断されて、ステップＳ１２６に進む。 Then, in step S125, it is determined whether or not the squeegee 51 is attached to the squeegee head 57 based on the detection result of the detection unit 59. If the presence of the squeegee 51 is not detected by the detection unit 59, it is determined that the squeegee 51 is not attached to the squeegee head 57, and the process proceeds to step S126.
　そして、ステップＳ１２６において、マスクスライダ５５により、作業位置Ｗからマスク交換ユニット７に、スキージ５１とマスクＭとが同時搬出される。すなわち、マスクスライダ５５により、スキージ５１がマスクＭ上または配置部材９０上に配置された状態で、マスクＭが移動されることにより、スキージ５１とマスクＭとが同時搬出される。そして、搬出処理が終了される。その後、次のスキージ５１とマスクＭとに交換する場合には、次のスキージ５１とマスクＭとの搬入処理が行われる。 Then, in step S126, the mask slider 55 simultaneously carries out the squeegee 51 and the mask M from the work position W to the mask exchange unit 7. That is, the mask slider 55 moves the mask M with the squeegee 51 placed on the mask M or on the placement member 90, whereby the squeegee 51 and the mask M are carried out simultaneously. Then, the unloading process is terminated. Thereafter, when the next squeegee 51 and mask M are to be replaced, the next squeegee 51 and mask M are carried in. FIG.
　また、ステップＳ１２６において、検出部５９によりスキージ５１の存在が検出されている場合、スキージ５１がスキージヘッド５７に装着されていると判断されて、ステップＳ１２７に進む。そして、ステップＳ１２７において、エラー停止処理が行われる。エラー停止処理では、印刷装置１の動作が停止されるとともに、ユーザへのエラー通知が行われる。 Also, in step S126, if the presence of the squeegee 51 is detected by the detection unit 59, it is determined that the squeegee 51 is attached to the squeegee head 57, and the process proceeds to step S127. Then, in step S127, error stop processing is performed. In the error stop process, the operation of the printing apparatus 1 is stopped and an error notification is sent to the user.
