Built for High-Volume Printed Electronics Production

The INO A7 is a high-speed, precision sheet-fed screen printing machine purpose-built for the demands of advanced printed electronics manufacturing. As the core print module within the fully integrated INO PE Line A, the A7 enables consistent multilayer registration, minimal waste, and smart factory integration for high-tech applications like RFID/NFC, sensors, touch interfaces, and printed circuits.

Equipped with camera-based auto-registration, a substrate cleaning unit, and advanced screen positioning, the A7 delivers micron-level accuracy for complex circuit builds on both rigid and flexible substrates. Designed for 24/7 production environments, the A7 reduces material waste, improves setup efficiency, and offers seamless integration with IR/UV dryers, conveyors, and automated stacking.

The A7 is designed for mass production environments where precision, efficiency, and material control are essential. It excels in manufacturing high-tech components like RFID antennas, biosensors, printed circuits, flexible displays, and other conductive-layer applications. Whether you're printing on PET, PI, or other technical films, the A7 ensures excellent ink laydown, reduced waste, and traceable quality from sheet to sheet.

The INO A7 is purpose-built to operate within the INO PE Line and pairs with the following modules to form a fully automated inline production workflow:

• DRY D8: Conveyorized hot-air + IR dryer with cooling zone for uniform drying
• UV Unit: Optional UV curing module for specialty inks and coatings
• STACK: Automated sheet alignment and stacking for post-print handling

Each unit is engineered for synergy, creating a streamlined process that supports high-volume manufacturing with fewer operators, less downtime, and higher yield.

• Minimizing Waste and Material Loss
  High-value functional inks and films require precise positioning and efficient setups. The A7’s automatic registration and cleaning reduce waste to just a few sheets per job, lowering cost and boosting production yield.
• Reliable Curing for Sensitive Materials
  The INO DRY D8 and optional UV drying units ensure uniform temperature control for consistent curing of multilayer stacks. This prevents under- or over-curing, protecting layer integrity and print function.
• Built for Smart Manufacturing
  The A7 supports Industry 4.0 connectivity, enabling integration with MES systems and real-time performance monitoring. Manufacturers gain full visibility across the production line to improve decision-making and reduce unplanned downtime.

• The optional UV and IR/Hot-Air drying modules maintain precise temperature control, ideal for heat-sensitive or multilayer materials.
• Eliminates issues with over-curing or under-curing that can compromise conductive ink integrity.
