An automated loading and unloading system for textile printing is disclosed. An example system includes a pallet configured with a label printing portion outside of a frame on an image screen when loaded onto the printing machine. The example system also includes a loading device configured to automatically lift a label area of a textile into position on the label printing portion of the pallet in preparation for a printing operation on the textile. The example system also includes an unloader device configured to automatically remove the label area of the textile from the label printing portion of the pallet following the printing operation on the textile. In an example, a printhead adapter is configured to reach the label printing portion of the pallet for printing on the label area of the textile.

A removable pallet system for maintaining proper registration on a first printing machine and on a second printing machine is provided. The system includes a removable pallet having a planar garment supporting upper surface, an upper assembly for supporting the removable pallet and a lower assembly for connecting the upper assembly, lower assembly and pallet to an arm of the first printing machine or the second printing machine. The system further includes an adjustment mechanism. The adjustment mechanism can include a first X-coordinate adjuster and a first Y-coordinate adjuster for moving the upper assembly relative to the lower assembly.

A cover of a stencil printer is hingedly mounted to a frame, and movable between a closed and open positions. The cover includes an elongate opening formed therein and a movable door configured to selectively close the elongate opening. The elongate opening is sized to enable the stencil and/or a tooling tray to pass through. A controller is configured to control movement of the movable door between a closed position and an open position. A sensor assembly is proximate the elongate opening. The sensor assembly is coupled to the controller and configured to detect an object within the elongate opening when moving the movable door to the closed position. The sensor is configured to generate a signal to the controller when detecting an object within the elongate opening. The controller, upon receiving the signal from the sensor, is configured to move the movable door to the open position.

The present invention relates to a batch alignment device for screen printers and a batch alignment method using the same, and can simultaneously, collectively, and quickly align multiple printed circuit boards in multiple alignment holes formed in one alignment jig to enable components to be simplified, the weight of a device to be reduced, production process and time to be shortened, and productivity to be improved and, accordingly, enable mass production, and can quickly implement high-quality printing, which corresponds to the alignment jig and a printing pattern of the mask, on the multiple printed circuit boards, simultaneously with completion of the alignment of the multiple printed circuit boards by aligning only the X-axes and Y-axes on the planes of the printed circuit boards in the alignment jig in a state where a mask and the alignment jig are aligned.
