AccuPress™ MicroGravure Printing
Precision Printing for Printed Electronics
For many years we have manufactured precise engraving machines for the gravure printing market. We then developed the µStar MicroEngraving System to engrave cylinders for printed electronics and more.
And now, Daetwyler R&D offers the new AccuPress MicroGravure Printing system*, introduced at the Printed Electronics World show in San Jose, CA, December 2009.
Designed for the tight tolerances and high accuracy required for printed electronics, this high-precision laboratory gravure press uses cylinders engraved by the µStar. This precision gravure printer can be used to test inks on a variety of substrates.
This drawing shows the press in a transparent "glove box" for cleanroom conditions. The separate control box (green) and computer interface are also shown. Your custom configuration may be different.
