From precision to scalable production in printed electronics
Organic and printed electronics are transforming the industry by enabling thin, lightweight, flexible and cost-effective products. From transistors, circuits and sensors to displays, light sources, solar cells and touch-sensitive surfaces, these applications rely on highly precise roll-to-roll printing and coating processes.
BST provides the technologies needed to meet these challenges. With camera-based register control, web guiding systems, and market-leading print defect inspection solutions, we help manufacturers achieve maximum quality and productivity.
The result: reliable processes, reduced waste, and a cost-effective production of high-quality printed electronics.

Solutions for printed electronics
High-precision register control for functional layers
Printed electronics often involve multiple functional layers that must be aligned with extreme precision. Even minimal misregistration can affect electrical performance or lead to scrap. eltromat regi_star 20 ensure precise layer-to-layer alignment in roll-to-roll processes. This enables stable production of functional structures such as conductive tracks, sensors, and active layers – even at high speeds and tight tolerances.
Stable web handling for thin and sensitive materials
Ultra-thin films and functional coatings require gentle and precise web handling. Variations in lateral position can lead to defects, layer distortion, or functional failure.
BST’s web guiding solutions stabilize the material flow throughout the entire process. This minimizes mechanical stress, reduces material waste, and ensures consistent print quality on sensitive substrates.
Inline inspection for defect-free functional printing
In printed electronics, visual defects can directly impact functionality. Interruptions, variations in line width, or coating irregularities must be detected immediately.
BST’s inspection systems detect and analyze print quality in real time, enabling early identification of defects and process deviations. This allows manufacturers to react instantly, reduce scrap, and ensure reliable functionality of printed electronic components.
