Automated coating

Perfect layer build-up at the push of a button

Automation of the coating process enables controlled application of emulsions onto screen meshes. Precise parameter control ensures defined Rz values and consistent layer thicknesses. This forms the technical foundation for reproducibility in exposure and the subsequent printing process.

Full-surface uniformity
Minimize tolerances through synchronized, double-sided coating. Our technology ensures a level of surface consistency that manual processes simply cannot achieve.
Intelligent process integration
Integrate coating seamlessly into your workflow. From stand-alone solutions to fully automated magazine operation – we scale with your production.
Efficient material usage
Precise coating edges and optimized trough profiles significantly reduce emulsion consumption and lower your cost per screen.

Secure the foundation for sharp print results

The screen defines resolution

Uneven coating cannot be compensated by any printing machine setting. Control over layer thickness and surface roughness is the only guarantee for consistent ink volume and precise edge definition.

Layer thickness (EOM)

Precisely controlled coating ensures consistent and reproducible ink volume.

Surface quality (Rz)

Minimal roughness depth ensures optimal sealing on the substrate and prevents light undercutting.

Process stability

Automated application eliminates human error and reduces emulsion consumption.

Fundamentals

Process reliability as the key quality factor

1. Process configuration
Definition of coating parameters based on mesh specification and required ink deposit (EOM).
2. System alignment
Selection of the appropriate coating solution based on frame geometry, throughput and available space.
3. Controlled application
Automated, synchronized double-sided coating to eliminate manual tolerances and ensure sharp edges.
4. Finalization & verification
Horizontal drying stabilizes the emulsion, followed by verification of layer thickness and surface roughness (Rz).
