Sakurai Graphic Systems Corporation Product Lineup

The "MSDR" is a cylinder-type roll-to-roll screen printing machine that surpasses the 50-100μm wall in screen printing and achieves fine pattern formation at 40μm. In conventional fine printing, issues arise due to "line thickening," where the target line width of 40μm ends up being more than 10μm thicker, affecting circuit performance and yield. This product addresses this by validating an approach that appropriately adjusts the three elements of "plate," "paste (silver paste)," and "machine/printing conditions" as a set. Conditions such as squeegee angle, hardness, pressure, speed, clearance, and paste viscosity are meticulously adjusted to suppress line thickening and reproduce high-precision patterns. 【Features】 ■ Appropriate adjustment of "plate × paste × printing conditions" as a set ■ Excellent plate release and continuous printing unique to cylinder types ■ High-precision alignment technology using CCD cameras ■ Capability to handle ultra-thin films of 25μm *Webinar information is also available!

FHE (Flexible Electronics) is a technology that merges printed electronics with traditional rigid electronics. Since conductive and insulating layers are formed by stacking multiple layers, not only is the printing accuracy of each layer important, but also the precision and reproducibility of accurately aligning multiple layers, which increases the difficulty. In this context, we verified the reproducibility of multilayer printing through continuous printing using our roll-to-roll screen printing machine. For the first layer, we used copper paste, which is expected to be more sustainable than silver paste, and for the second layer, we used insulating paste. We aligned the first layer's pattern using camera alignment to form the insulating layer. [Features] - Formation of conductive layers using "copper paste," which is expected to be more sustainable and cost-effective than silver paste. - Multilayer stacking technology using different pastes (copper × insulating). The webinar will showcase the details of the technology and demonstrations. *For more information, please refer to the related links or feel free to contact us.

"Printed electronics" is a technology that forms electronic circuits through printing on a flexible film substrate. Traditional photolithography methods using silicon wafers require seven processes, including film formation and photoresist application, leading to challenges such as high costs, difficulties in scaling up to large areas, and the generation of waste liquids and chemicals. In contrast, this technology can reduce the process to just two steps. Additionally, it features characteristics such as bendability, lightweight and thin design, scalability to large areas, and high throughput, enabling a shift towards a new form of manufacturing that "prints electronic functions." It is essential to be able to consistently reproduce the same quality. [Features] ■ Significant reduction of traditional processes to two steps ■ Achieves bendability, lightweight and thin design, scalability to large areas, and high throughput ■ Direct printing on flexible film substrates We also hold webinars to introduce our technology.
