Precision Machines for Printed Electronics
Ohio Gravure Technologies Inc is leveraging 30+ years of gravure industry leadership for your MicroGravure Printed Electronics applications. We have enhanced our sub-micron machine control expertise to create the MicroStar MicroEngraving and AccuPress MicroPrinting systems which allow resolutions to 5 µm.
MicroGravure has the dual benefit of high resolution and high volume ink transfer. Applications include: thin conductive lines, high density transistors, sensors, photovoltaics with high volume, batteries, and coatings.
Patented depth control and diamond cutting of our VISION engrave heads allow smooth cut surfaces and cell depth repeatability within 200 nano meter for the MicroStar where applications are flexible displays and lenticular lens applicaitons for 3 D imaging.
MicroGravure
Today, we offer three different systems for the highest-quality engraving, providing the ability to engrave different cell shapes for optimal printed results.
- Electro-mechanical system – Diamond engraving of images using electro-mechanical techniques.
- Direct laser system – Direct engraving of images into the cylinder by laser.
- Indirect laser system – A laser exposes the image onto a cylinder coated with photo-resist. The cylinder is then chemically etched to produce the cells.
The three systems all allow the ability to select different cell shapes to tailor the engraving to your printing requirements.
