1 Introduction

Perfume bottle screen printing machine (see Figure 1) is mainly for the perfume bottle, daily necessities and other irregular products on the surface of printing, mostly circular, oval, triangular, square and other diversified shapes. The presses currently used are mostly mechanical cam mechanisms. With the development of science and technology, the printing efficiency and precision of mechanical cams have been difficult to meet market demands. In order to improve the performance of printing presses, Omron has developed an electrical system with OMRON NJ as its core. To meet the market.

2 system structure and control difficulties

The screen printing part of the perfume bottle screen printing machine is composed of six axes: a rotating shaft, a floating shaft, a mesh plate shaft, a scraping rubber shaft, a feeding shaft, and a connecting shaft, as shown in FIG. 2 . The workpiece is driven on the belt by the feeding shaft (M6), and the connecting shaft (M5) clamps the unprinted and printed workpieces to the printing position and the blanking position, respectively. Rotary shaft, floating shaft, screen shaft, and scraper shaft are used for electronic cam motion to complete screen printing.

Due to the variety of customer printing products and shapes, such as circular, elliptical, triangular, square, etc., in order to achieve 360-degree printing of workpieces of different shapes, it is necessary to formulate derivation of various shapes of workpieces and calculate the axes of printing. The position of the relationship to do the cam movement, to achieve the printing effect requested by customers, therefore, to determine the relationship between the servo axis during the printing process has become a system of difficulties.

Taking ellipse printing as an example (see Figure 3), in order to ensure the printing quality when printing on the workpiece surface, the scraper needs a vertical printing surface. As the workpiece rotates, the center of the ellipse moves, the scraper needs to move horizontally following the center, and the floating axis moves at the same time so that the printing distance is appropriate. In order to achieve elliptical surface printing, the center of the ellipse of the legend is on the blue line and the doctor blade is in the center. When rotating to the second example, the center is lowered to the orange line and the scraper moves to the right.

In this system, since not all automation products are Omron's, communication problems with third-party devices are also one of the difficulties that need to be solved. Customers require that simple parameters can be set in the touch screen to change the product for printing. The customer uses a Wei-Lan touch screen with an Ethernet interface. Both the NJ and the touch screen need to be set accordingly. Parameter settings shown in Figure 4.

4.1 Oval workpiece program derivation

According to the triangular geometric relations, the positional relationship between each servo axis and the rotation axis during the rotation of the ellipse is derived as follows:


According to the above formula in the NJ controller to calculate the axis of the cam data are as follows:


The data of the cam is exported to the SD card for verification. The results are shown in Fig. 6. It can be seen from the figure that the trajectory relationship of the ellipse at the I-IV position is correct, and the motion test can be performed. After the actual printing action test, after testing, the actual movement effect of the servo axis is consistent with the movement trajectory.

5 Conclusion

After inspection by the customer, the elliptical movement effect meets the customer's requirements. The triangular arc surface workpiece and the printing effect of the workpiece with a chamfered rectangular workpiece are basically satisfactory. As the on-site printing conditions are not satisfied, half ellipses, eight deformations, rectangles +

Oval workpieces have not yet been tested. When the customer's mechanical structure such as ellipse, circle, rectangle, etc. satisfies the printing conditions, it will do the accuracy test for the customer.
