Abstract: Screen printing device, comprising an endless printing belt on which a web of material can be fixed temporarily, a printing belt drive device, and a number of rotary stencils driven by stencil drive devices, the printing belt drive device being coupled to the stencil drive devices at a predetermined angle presetting thereof for a synchronous movement thereof. The device also has a signal generation device which can produce a signal forming a measure for a displacement of the printing belt. One or more markings are provided on or in the printing belt and can be detected by detectors securely fixed at predetermined intervals. A comparison device compares the signal coming from the signal generation device, during a displacement of a marking on the printing belt from one detector to a next detector, with a predetermined reference signal, following which a correction device adjusts the angle presetting of one or more stencils on the basis of the comparison result of the comparison device.

Abstract: A screen printing machine comprises a frame in which one or more stencils are supported for printing a web of material fixed on a supporting belt. The stencils are each directly connected by means of a rigid coupling to the rotor of a corresponding rotary drive device. An elongated squeegee, supported near the ends of the stencil, is provided in the interior of each stencil. The drive device is provided with a central through hole running in the axial direction, for allowing through at least the end of the squeegee with radial play.
