Semi-automatic screen printing machine is one of our common screen printing machine equipment, this kind machine bring us any help for printing on flat,cylindrical, conical and oval forms which with smooth curve surface and made of various materials such as metal, plastic, ceramic, glass, wood etc.. Printing objects such as lipstick, cosmetic bottles, scour bottles, drink bottles, pots, oil-filter shell, paper, all types of PVC, PET, PC,PC and other soft Material, hard film, various panels, membrane switch, paper, nameplate, keyboards, instruments, electronics. However when we prolonged or inappropriate use the machine, then there will have some problem with it. So we must learn some basic skills about how to fix the screen printing machine malfunctions and precautions
Malfunction1:When you touch the foot switch of the semi-automatic screen printing machine, the carriage of the screen printing machine decline, but when untouched it, the carriage will be increased.
Reason: horizontal slide switch on the left side of the broken or damaged.
Solution: connect the switch is turned on or gets a new switch.
Malfunction2: When you touch the foot switch of the semi-automatic screen printing machine, the carriage of the screen printing machine after falling to the left seat rise but do not move to the right.
Reason: screen printing machine proximity switch is damaged or proximity switch is not sensed.
Solution: Replace the proximity switches or inductive proximity switch adjustment.
Malfunction3: When you set the screen printing machine to me semi-automatic type, but you still not step the foot touch the machine has been running.
Reason: The foot switch is short circuit or switch is damaged.
Solution: the replacement of the switches and buttons.
Merits
Screen printing makes it possible to print on wide range of substrates.
Screen printing makes it possible to print on the substrates with various shapes and sizes.
Many kinds of ink are available.
Thick coating is possible. (General stencil: 10-30 microns, Special stencil: more than 100 microns)
Thick coating makes colors more vivid; finish more opaque and light fastness better.
As printing pressure is small, it is possible to print on fragile matters.
As the stencil is soft, it is possible to print on hard materials such as glass and metal as well as soft materials such as paper and fabrics.
The stencil is cheap, which is the advantage in case of production of small quantity.
Demerits
Plate wear and printing speed are inferior to other ways of printing. Production cost is higher.
Reproducibility and precision are slightly inferior to other ways of printing.
Malfunction4: The screen printing machine running speed is abnormal.
The cylinder of screen printing machine runs too fast.
Reason:
The cylinder of the screen printing machine strikes fiercely
The cylinder of screen printing machine runs too slowly.
Reason:
1. The compressed air pressure is too low. Solution: Adjust it to the high side.
2. The throttle valve index is on the low side. Solution: Adjust it to the high side.
3. The compressed air pipe is flexed. Trim it.
4. The solenoid valve of cylinder is blocked by dust particles. Solution: Clean or replace it.
5. The silencer is blocked. Solution: Clean it.
Malfunction5: The action of the screen printing machine is abnormal
The semi-automatic screen printing machine stops at certain steps
Reason:
Malfunction6: The semi-automatic screen printing machine has no action.
If the screen printing machines witches on the power switch and the indicator on the IC panel lights up, the machine has no action.
Reason:
Malfunction7: The semi-automatic screen printing machine has no action.
If the screen printing machines witches on the power switch but the indicator on the IC panel does not lights up, the machine has no action.
Reason:
Malfunction8:
The vacuum worktable of screen printing machine can’t working.
Reason: The motor of vacuum broken or Electromagnetic valve broken
Solution: Replace the motor of vacuum or electromagnetic valve
