Automatic Stop Cylinder Screen Printing Machine
For packaging and specialty printing manufacturers, the GST series automatic stop cylinder screen printing machine delivers the sheet control, registration accuracy, and UV finishing performance needed for high-quality paper-based screen printing. Its stop cylinder structure replaces the traditional 180° reciprocating swing motion with a 360° rotating cylinder that pauses at the gripper gap position, allowing each sheet to enter the grippers accurately before printing starts.
This stable sheet positioning reduces registration errors and gives printers better control over overprint accuracy, especially for packaging, spot UV varnishing, and decorative UV ink applications. With a no-stop feeder and no-stop delivery system, the GST Series Automatic Stop Cylinder Screen Printing Machine also reduces time lost during sheet loading and collection, keeping automatic screen printing production more efficient and continuous.
Combining the strengths of offset-style sheet handling and screen printing ink transfer, the GST Series Automatic Stop Cylinder Screen Printing Machine is suitable for spot UV coating, single-color UV ink printing, and multi-color UV ink printing on printed materials.
The GST Series Automatic Stop Cylinder Screen Printing Machine is mainly used for printing on paper-based substrates. It is also suitable for transfer printing workflows, where patterns are first printed on paper and then transferred by heat transfer or waterslide decal processes.

- Stop Cylinder System for Accurate Registration: The 360° rotating cylinder pauses at the gripper gap position so each sheet can be accurately fed into the grippers before printing. This structure gives the printing process better sheet positioning and more stable registration.
- No-Stop Feeder and No-Stop Delivery for Higher Efficiency: The no-stop feeding and delivery design reduces waiting time during sheet loading and collection, allowing the printing process to run more continuously.
- Mitsubishi PLC Control with 7-Inch Color Touchscreen: The GST Series Automatic Stop Cylinder Screen Printing Machine uses centralized Mitsubishi PLC control, while the 7-inch full-color touchscreen displays key function data clearly for easier operation and adjustment.
- Automatic Optical Fiber Positioning Detection: The full-process detection system monitors line faults, missing sheets, and paper jams. When an issue occurs, the squeegee can lift automatically and the system can stop or continue based on the operating condition, reducing paper waste during production.
- 316L Stainless Steel Printing Cylinder: The precision printing cylinder is made from 316L stainless steel for durability and long-term operating stability. The flexible gripper structure allows convenient adjustment for different paper thicknesses.
- Centralized Lubrication System: Main transmission components are automatically lubricated, helping maintain machine accuracy and extend service life.
- Pneumatic Squeegee Locking System: The pneumatic locking structure keeps squeegee pressure even during printing, creating more consistent ink transfer and stable print quality.
- Durable Machine Finish: The machine body is finished with eco-friendly primer, fine grinding, polishing, spray painting, and a final clear coating, giving the equipment a clean and durable appearance for professional printing environments.
The GST series automatic stop cylinder screen printing machine is a practical choice for printers that need stable paper feeding, precise registration, efficient UV finishing, and reliable production performance for packaging, transfer printing, and specialty print applications.
-
Sheet FeederThe sheet feeder uses a four-suction and four-forwarding offset-style feeder system to ensure stable feeding for thin paper, thick paper, and laminated materials. The double-layer suction rubber design provides stronger pickup performance, allowing the feeder to handle slightly uneven substrates more reliably. With a shaftless servo-driven feeding structure, the Sheet Feeder delivers smoother sheet transfer, better feeding accuracy, and more stable operation during high-speed automatic screen printing.
-
Feeding TableThe imported stainless steel feed table can effectively reduce static electricity and friction. The rubber or nylon wheel can flexibly adjust sheet thickness. The perforated belt vacuum feed table ensures smooth feeding. The installed sensor can switch off the operation after detecting wrong positioning or low material.
-
Newly Designed Pull and Push LayThe newly designed pull and push lay system allows operators to switch between pull-lay and push-lay positioning with a pneumatic one-touch control. This design supports quick adjustment for thin and thick paper, giving the automatic stop cylinder screen printing machine more stable sheet positioning and smoother production changeovers.
-
Stainless Steel CylinderThe stainless steel print cylinder is intricate and durable. The stainless steel cylinder features flexible finger design with vacuum and air blast components, ensuring quick adjustments for different paper thicknesses.
-
Pull-Out Screen FrameThe pull-out screen frame structure makes cleaning and maintenance easier during production. The screen hook design keeps the mesh tension more even, supporting stable ink transfer and more consistent printing quality on the Automatic Stop Cylinder Screen Printing Machine.
-
Paper Output TableThe Paper Output Table uses dual wide belts with vacuum suction to handle both small and large sheets more steadily. This design reduces the risk of paper jams and sheet damage that can occur with a single narrow belt structure.
With an independent variable-frequency control system, the Paper Output Table supports smooth delivery speed adjustment and ensures that the final sheet does not remain on the table after production.
