Fast 8 Color Screen Printing for Glass Items

Goals:

After creating a pilot line, our client asked us to create a line capable of handling 8-color screen printing at a rate of 4,000 bottles per hour.

Results:

Main operations done at high speed:

  • Gripping bottles
  • Integration of the customer's screen printing process
    • Flaming: heating and removal of surface tension from glasses
    • Screen printing speed up to 1 m/s with overlay accuracy < 0.2mm
    • 8 UV polymerizations (one per color)
    • Opening
  • Automated palletizing
