Abstract
A flat bed screen printing machine wherein the material to be printed is movable in stepwise fashion with or relative to an assembly including a flat bed at one side and a screen at the opposite side of the path for the material. The material moves with the assembly during application of paste and moves slowly relative to the assembly while the latter moves rearwardly to its starting position. The slow movement of the material serves to move its passer marks to optimum positions with reference to a detector. One or more stationary squeegees are adjacent the screen. The screen can move relative to the squeegee(s).
Claims14
A screen printing machine for repeatedly applying paste to a web of material to be repeatedly printed, comprising means for repeatedly advancing the web through relatively short distances in a first direction along an elongated path;
- an assembly including a flat bed at one side of said path and a screen at the other side of said path opposite said bed;
- means for moving said assembly relative to said path with the web through longer second distances in said first direction subsequent to each advancement of the web through a short distance in said first direction;
- and at least one stationary squeegee adjacent said screen at said other side of said path to apply paste to the web through said screen during movement of the web with said assembly in said first direction.
