The manual squeegee system applies one or more layers of inks to a targeted screen of a manual screen printing device. The manual squeegee system mechanically adjustably fixes the application pressure and the angle of attack of each of the one or more layers of inks. The manual squeegee system comprises a frame, a jib, a trolley, a plurality of slings, and a blade structure. The blade structure applies the one or more layers of inks at a consistent application pressure and the angle of attack. The plurality of slings attach the blade structure to the trolley. The trolley attaches the plurality of slings and the blade structure to the jib such that the position of the blade structure can be adjusted relative to the jib. The jib attaches the trolley to the frame. The frame attaches the manual squeegee system to the manual screen printing device.

The present application relates to a stencil printing machine, which comprises a first holder device (110), a mobile device (121), two support tables (131, 132) and two driving devices (151, 152), wherein the first holder device (110) is configured to be able to horizontally reciprocate in the portrait orientation, the mobile device (121) is mounted on the first holder device (110) and is configured to be able to horizontally reciprocate in the landscape orientation on the first holder device (110), the two support tables (131, 132) are mounted at the lower end of the mobile device (121) and are used to bear corresponding solder paste jars (141, 142), the two driving devices (151, 152) are mounted on the mobile device (121) so that each of the two driving devices (151, 152) is located above a corresponding support table (131, 132) and is used to press a corresponding solder paste jar (141, 142), and the mobile device (121) is configured to be able to drive the two support tables (131, 132) and the two driving devices (151, 152) to reciprocate vertically. Two standard solder paste jars (141, 142) can be assembled for the stencil printing machine provided by the present application. When one solder paste jar (141, 142) is empty, solder paste supply is switched to the other solder paste jar (141, 142) and the stencil printing machine can continue to operate without stopping, thus improving the working efficiency of the stencil printing machine significantly.

A screen-printing apparatus for repeatedly marking an indicium at regularly spaced intervals or predefined discrete intervals on a surface or medium. The screen-printing apparatus includes a wheel mounted to a housing. A screen frame can be mounted to a housing that can interchangeably receive a screen having void(s) of a shape that corresponds to the indicia to be printed. The screen-printing apparatus also has an ink supplying unit that sprays ink over the top surface of the screen. A solenoid operably coupled to the ink supplying unit for triggering the ink supplying unit. The solenoid and the wheel are operably coupled to a control unit, the control unit can receive readings from the wheel about the distance covered by the wheel on the surface and based on the readings can trigger the solenoid at predefined intervals.
