Abstract

A screen printer includes: a mask with a pattern hole; a substrate holder that clamps and holds a substrate at sides of the substrate by a pair of clamping members below the mask; a substrate holder elevation mechanism that moves the substrate holder up and down to contact the substrate with a lower surface of the mask; a paste filling unit that fills the pattern hole with a paste; a mask contact member that is provided in the clamp member and that contacts with the mask in a state in which the substrate contacts with the mask; and an urging portion that is provided in the clamp member and that includes an urging unit that urges the mask contact member upward.

Claims (21)

1. A screen printer comprising:

a mask on which a pattern hole is formed;

a substrate holder that clamps and holds a substrate at sides of the substrate by a pair of clamping members below the mask;

a substrate holder elevation mechanism that moves the substrate holder holding the substrate up and down to contact the substrate with a lower surface of the mask;

a paste filling unit that fills, with a paste, the pattern hole of the mask that is contacted with the substrate by the substrate holder elevation mechanism;

a mask contact member that is provided in each of the clamping members and that contacts with the mask in a state in which the substrate contacts with the mask; and

an urging portion that is provided in each of the clamping members and that includes an urging unit that urges each mask contact member upward,

wherein, after the pattern hole of the mask is filled with the paste, the substrate holder elevation mechanism moves the substrate in a direction away from the mask to perform plate releasing with each urging portion urging each mask contact member upward.

2. The screen printer according to claim 1 ,

wherein the urging unit includes a cylinder or an elastic body.

3. The screen printer according to claim 1 ,

wherein each mask contact member is provided within the clamping member.

4. A component mounting line comprising:

the screen printer according to claim 1 ; and

a component mounting machine that mounts a component on the substrate on which the paste is printed by the screen printer.

5. A component mounting line comprising:

the screen printer according to claim 2 ; and

a component mounting machine that mounts a component on the substrate on which the paste is printed by the screen printer.

6. A component mounting line comprising:

the screen printer according to claim 3 ; and

a component mounting machine that mounts a component on the substrate on which the paste is printed by the screen printer.
