Abstract

See full text

A air jet source is used in conjunction with a micro-extrusion printhead assembly in a micro-extrusion system to bias extruded material onto a target substrate. The printhead assembly utilizes paste valves or other feed system to push/draw an extrusion material through dispensing orifices defined on an extrusion needle, nozzle or stacked plate printhead as the printhead assembly is moved over the substrate. The air jet source is positioned near the dispensing outlets, and directs a gas jet against the extruded material such that the extruded material is reliably biased against the target substrate. Multiple dispensing orifices are defined in a paste dispensing needle to improve starts and stops, as well as improving overall ink distribution. Two independently activated air sources and multiple air jet outlets are utilized to improve control over the quality of bus bars formed by the extruded material.
