With the development of science and technology, screen printing industry has gradually evolved from manual screen printing machines to semi-automatic screen printing machines and automatic screen printing machines. There may be many people who think that the products printed by screen printing machines are not as detailed as those printed by artificial silk screen printing. Is this really the case?
In theory, both manual screen printing machines and semi-automatic screen printing machines can be used for general products. If the handprint table is to be made in batches, it needs to be a relatively large long table, which covers a large area. The printing master has to stand and run around the printing table, which is more difficult. , and the screen printing screen required to do this must also be larger. The ink supplies used are not so uniform. The semi-automatic covers a small area, and the master is sitting and operating. The pressure of the fingerprint pad is controlled by hand, and the color pressure is uneven in a large area and with high requirements, which is easy to produce color difference, and the risk of producing defective products is greater. Relatively speaking, semi-automatic color registration and machine adjustment are more automatic, more precise, and more convenient and easy to operate.
The main difference between the manual screen printing machine and the automatic screen printing machine lies in the different operation methods. The manual screen printing machine needs manual operation throughout the whole process, while the automatic screen printing machine only needs to manually load the material, set the program, and the rest can be completed automatically; in addition , The screen printing effect of the automatic screen printing machine is also more stable, but the price is more expensive. Although the automatic screen printing machine is expensive, it is easy to use and has a low labor cost. Let’s take a look at the difference between manual screen printing machine and automatic screen printing machine.
一. What are the differences between manual screen printing machine and automatic screen printing machine
Screen printing machines can be divided into manual screen printing machines, semi-automatic screen printing machines and automatic screen printing machines according to the degree of automation. The main differences between manual screen printing machines and automatic screen printing machines are:
1. Different operation methods
The manual screen printing machine is completely controlled by people, and it mainly depends on the recognition and judgment of the human eye of professionals. It can be judged whether it meets the standard by comparing the template and related measuring tools. The automatic screen printing machine has a high degree of automation and is digitally controlled. The substrates are placed in batches on the feeding device, and the button is pressed to wait for the automatic screen printing of the machine, without any operation in the middle.
2. Different screen printing effects
Manual screen printing machine needs manual operation, especially the pressure of the handprint table is controlled by hand, and the color pressure of large area and high requirements is uneven, which is easy to produce color difference. The automatic screen printing machine feeds materials by vacuum adsorption to ensure the accurate positioning of products, and positioning by stepping forward and backward to ensure that the printing position of the same series of products remains unchanged, and has the characteristics of high speed and stability during operation.
3, the product price is different
The price of the automatic screen printing machine is definitely more expensive than the manual screen printing machine.
二.Whether the screen printing machine is manual or automatic or manual
Is the screen printing machine automatic or manual? We can look at it from the perspective of use and cost:
1. From the perspective of use, the automatic screen printing machine does not require additional manual operation, nor does it need human eye recognition and judgment. It has fast speed and small errors, which is more convenient to use than manual printing machines.
2. From the perspective of cost, although the automatic screen printing machine is more expensive, because the manual screen printing machine needs to incorporate a lot of labor costs, and the training of new employees’ proficiency after the employee leaves the company, the automatic screen printing machine can be operated by one person. The job is simple and the training is relatively easy, and the overall cost is not necessarily higher.
Therefore, on the whole, it is recommended to choose a fully automatic screen printing machine if conditions permit.
