ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for automatically screen printing on objects includes a first transfer mechanism having suction cups for swinging the objects from a supply station at which is a preregistering device which rotates the objects into a predetermined orientation closely positioned to reference position to which the object is printed. From the preregistering station, the objects are swung by a second oscillating transfer means to a third oscillatory transfer means which swings the preregistered objects to the printing station. At the printing station, the objects are rotated relative to a printing screen by a rotating chuck device. After printing, grippers are swung into the printing station to remove the printed object and to convey the printed object to discharge station at which is located a discharge conveyor of UV curing apparatus.
