In a screen printing apparatus for contacting a lower surface of a mask plate with a substrate and moving a squeezee in a sliding motion on an upper surface of the mask plate thereby printing a paste onto the substrate, mask bend preventing members are mounted on conveying rails at front and rear parts of clamp members clamping the substrate in a Y-direction, and, at a mask separating operation after printing, the substrate is lowered while the lower surface of the mask plate is supported by the clamp members and the mask bend preventing members. Thus the mask separation can be achieved in a state where the mask plate is supported from below on four sides of the substrate and is thus prevented from a downward bending, and a satisfactory mask separating property can be ensured over the entire substrate.

Screen printing apparatus and screen printing method

A magnetic recording and reproducing device according to the present invention operates with steps of moving a magnetic tape having a plurality of tracks per frame and a plurality of control signals recorded thereon, keeping count of the pulses of a frequency generator signal corresponding to the rotation of a capstan motor by a frequency generator counter, resetting the count of the frequency generator pulses by the control signal reproduced by a fixed magnetic head, detecting the track number by the control signal counter reset by a frame reference signal, controlling, at the start, the start timing on the basis of the tape stop position detected by the frequency generator pulse counter and control counter and the reference frame signal from the reference frame signal generator. The device prevents thinning of tracks at the editing point in after-break recording and the disturbance of images immediately after the start. The device does not require a special circuit or complicated software-wise processing, and provides a stabilized slow-reproduced image. Further, in a magnetic recording and reproducing device for intermittent recording, there is no danger of causing thinning to recorded tracks. Thus, a reproduced image of high quality can be obtained.

Control system of tape travel for a magnetic recording and reproducing apparatus

A torque command supplied to a tape running unit for drawing out and driving a tape wound on a first reel is modulated by a torque modulator depending on a moment of inertia of the first reel, a winding radius of the tape wound on the first reel, a moment of inertia and a rotating radius of the tape running unit, which are detected by a parameter detector. The first motor is responsive to the modulated torque command for rotating the first reel, thereby keeping the tension of the tape constant.

Magnetic tape tension control device

A tape speed command signal is differentiated, and in a multiplier, the torque necessary for acceleration or deceleration of a take-up reel motor is calculated in accordance with the moment of inertia of a take-up reel and a winding radius of the tape on the take-up reel. The calculated result is added to a torque command produced by a feedback control system.

Tape speed control apparatus using rotation speed ratio of first and

In a magnetic reproduction system in which a magnetic tape must be controlled to run so as to keep a specified relative phase to a rotary phase of a rotary head, a tracking control apparatus obtains a characteristic curve showing a characteristic relationship between the relative phase and an envelope level of a reproduced information signal obtained by the rotary head by changing the relative phase, obtains a regression curve with respect to the characteristic curve, and controls the magnetic tape to run so that the relative phase becomes a value corresponding to a maximum value point of the regression curve.

Tracking control apparatus

A torque command is applied to a tape running unit. The tape running unit for draws out and drives a tape wound on a first reel and taken up on a second reel. The torque command is modulated by a torque modulator in accordance with a moment of inertia of the first reel, a winding radius of the tape wound on the first reel, a moment of inertia of the second reel and a rotating radius of the second reel, which are detected by a parameter detector. The first motor is responsive to the modulated torque command for rotating the first reel, thereby keeping the tension of the tape constant.
