JET STACK TO RESERVOIR MOAT MERGE WITH AN ADHESIVE JOINT

摘要

The print head is an ink reservoir holding the ink (the reservoir has a protrusion), an external manifold coupled to the ink reservoir (the external manifold has channels on the first side/second side matching the protrusions) , And the adhesive in the channels in contact with the protrusions. The method of assembling the printhead includes mounting the jet stack to the flat plate of the merge fixture, dispensing the adhesive onto the outer manifold that attaches to the jet stack, and placing the reservoir over the outer manifold so that the reservoir does not come into contact with the adhesive. Placing in the merge fixture, attaching the top plate to the reservoir to set the depth, pressing the reservoir with an adhesive, and curing the adhesive.
