A screen printing machine includes a printing execution unit which fills a pattern hole of a mask with solder by sliding a squeegee on the mask contacting a board and thereafter separates the board from the mask. The screen printing machine further includes: a library which stores printing conditions, each of which includes operation parameters of the printing execution unit and corresponds to a combination of options of selection items which include aboard type, a solder type, and a squeegee type; an option display unit which displays the options of each selection item in an image display area; and a printing condition setting unit which reads out, from the library, a printing condition corresponding to a combination of selected options, and which sets the read-out printing condition to a printing control unit which operates the printing execution unit.

Screen printing machine operating based on printing conditions

A screen printer includes a mask, a substrate holding unit that clamps and holds a substrate below the mask by clamping members, a substrate holding unit moving mechanism that moves the substrate holding unit to contact the substrate with a lower surface of the mask, a paste filling unit that fills pattern holes of the mask with a paste, mask suction portions provided in the clamping members which suck the mask contacted with the substrate. The mask suction portions keep sucking the mask when the substrate holding unit moving mechanism moves the substrate in a direction away from the mask to perform plate releasing, and release the suction of the mask in a state in which the mask sucked to the mask suction portions maintains a posture parallel to the substrate after the movement of the substrate is started.

Screen printer, component mounting line, and screen printing method

A screen printer includes: a mask with a pattern hole; a substrate holder that clamps and holds a substrate at sides of the substrate by a pair of clamping members below the mask; a substrate holder elevation mechanism that moves the substrate holder up and down to contact the substrate with a lower surface of the mask; a paste filling unit that fills the pattern hole with a paste; a mask contact member that is provided in the clamp member and that contacts with the mask in a state in which the substrate contacts with the mask; and an urging portion that is provided in the clamp member and that includes an urging unit that urges the mask contact member upward.
