ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and method for treating material using a screen print machine having multiple stations with a printing head for screen printing ink installed at a first station and a laser device for producing graphics installed at a second station. A PLC is connected to the laser device and the second station of the screen print machine, and is programmed to receive control signals for a printing head at the second station and operational status signals from the laser. Based upon the received signals the PLC sends signals which mimic status indications of a printing head located at the second station to the screen print machine based upon the operational status of the laser. The PLC also sends signals to control the laser in synchronization with the printing head based upon the received control signals for a printing head at the second station.
