Variables
Effects
Fluid Pressure
•
Droplet size can be adjusted by
changing fluid pressure
•
Droplet size can be adjusted by
changing fluid pressure
•
Too much fluid pressure can cause
accumulation
•
Too little fluid pressure can cause
inconsistent dot size or “starvation”
Nozzle Size
•
Determine the droplet size
•
Bigger nozzle size will produce
bigger dot size or line width
•
Smaller nozzle size will produce
smaller dot size or line width
Needle Lift (stroke length)
•
Range = 50 – 95%
•
Too high needle lift may cause
satellite
•
Too short needle lift may cause
accumulation
Open Time
•
Droplet size can be adjusted by
changing open time
•
Increasing open time will increase dot
size
•
Decreasing open time will decrease
dot size
Jet Distance
•
Distance between nozzle and substrate
•
Distance range = 3 – 10 mm
•
Too high jet distance can cause
satellite
•
Too short jet distance can cause
accumulation
