Abstract:
A jet dispensing print system for dispensing a liquid or viscous, jettable substance as a pattern onto the surface of a platform in an industrial manufacturing production line, comprising:(A) a printing system, that includes: (a) a printing bridge system, comprising a static and rigid printing bridge to accommodate in a precise manner several jet print heads, each being fitted with a multitude of jet nozzles, said jet print heads grouped in various arrangements on said static and rigid printing bridge, said jet print heads are utilized achieving multiple redundancy whereby part of the total amount of available nozzles are utilized as back-up nozzles; and (b) a platform system, comprising: (i) a printing table positioned substantially underneath said static and rigid printing bridge, for accommodating said platform whilst said pattern is dispensed in a jetting manner onto said platform; and (ii) a motorized system, for moving said printing table simultaneously in at least two perpendicular directions; and (B) a supply system for supplying said several jet print heads with said liquid or viscous substance; and (C) a control system responsive to at least pattern and platform data for controlling said platform system in order to achieve said dispensing of said liquid or viscous, jettable substance as said pattern onto said surface of said platform; and (D) a user interface for at least providing a status report of said printing system.
