Disclosed is a pallet for printing on an article of clothing. The pallet includes a mount plate including a first end and a second end and a top plate including a first end and a second end. The second end of the top plate located at the second end of the mount plate. A gap is between the top plate and the mount plate. A collar plate is located on the first end of the mount plate. The first end of the mount plate extends beyond the first end of the top plate to define a space between the top plate and the collar plate.

A printing apparatus for printing substrates, in particular solar cells, wafers, circuit boards or the like, has at least one printing device, which is assigned at least one movable printing table, having a conveyor track along which the substrates can be moved, and having a transport device for transporting the substrates from the conveyor track to the at least one printing device and back. The transport device has at least one transport pendulum which can be pivoted or rotated about a pendulum axis and which has the printing table at at least one end at a distance from the pendulum axis. The printing table can be pivoted by the transport pendulum into a first position assigned to the printing device for a printing operation and into a second position lying in the conveyor track. The printing table has a conveying device which also forms the conveyor track in the second position of the printing table.

A stencil printer is configured to print an assembly material on an electronic substrate. The stencil printer includes a frame, a stencil coupled to the frame, a support assembly coupled to the frame, and a print head gantry coupled to the frame. The print head gantry includes an elongate beam that rides along rails provided on the frame and a print head assembly supported by the print head gantry in such a manner that the print head assembly is configured to traverse the stencil during print strokes. The print head assembly includes a print head having a squeegee blade assembly configured to roll solder paste along the stencil. The stencil printer further includes a solder paste bead recovery system configured to remove a bead of solder paste from a top surface of the stencil and to deposit the bead of solder paste onto a new replacement stencil.

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 tooling vacuum unit for a circuit board assembly machine, such as a printing machine, which enables two different vacuum sources to be connected to tooling. The tooling vacuum unit may be a retrofittable unit configured to sit on top of a standard tooling table in the machine, or an integrated part of the machine, and provides a tooling support surface for a workpiece being machined. Also described are suction nozzles for securing a printing screen relative to the workpiece.
