press manifold The holding tank under the machine, which will store compressed air, available for the
machine to use.
prime position The ideal location of placement of different components so that maximum adjustment can be
achieved.
print finish The function of the machine that will allow the press operator to sequentially shut off the print heads
as the last garment gets printed.
print speed The speed at which the squeegee travels across the screen.
print start The function of the machine that will allow the press operator to sequentially turn on the print heads,
as the first garment gets printed.
print station master frame The mechanical structure which forms the perimeter of the printing head of a
machine.
proximity switch The solid-state switch that will complete an electrical circuit by the presence of metal with-
in a specific distance (proximity) from the sensor portion of the switch.
push pin A spring loaded pin.
PV/SV key The control element on the temperature controller that changes the temperature display indication,
either PV (pre-set value) or SV (set value).
ram The random access memory.
ratchet knob The knob which has a ratchet mechanism that will allow you to change the position of the lever
for better leverage.
rear frame holder The “C” shaped channel used to clamp the rear of the screen once placed in the print head.
rear micro lock The locking mechanism that will not allow the rear micro adjustment to shift once an adjust-
ment is made.
rear stop The position at which the print head will stop towards the inside of the machine.
registration The proper alignment of all the screens so that the printed image is reproduced on the substrate
exactly as it appears on the original artwork.
reset button The electrical switch used to re-initiate the PLC after a halt has occurred.
revolver mode The section of the program of the machine that allows the PLC to accept up to 10 different print
sequences.
screen exposure The action of allowing the screen with emulsion to get exposed to light.
scribe The action of drawing a very thin line.
servo amplifier unit The electro-electronic device which will provide the servo motor with electrical power.
servo index drive The mechanism used to make the carousel turn, which will be driven by a servo motor.
shut off valve The device that regulates or blocks the flow of gases, liquids or loose materials through struc-
tures, such as piping or passage ways.
sight dome The transparent hemispherical structure that will allow you to see the oil rate of an oiler.
side load The pressure of tension left on the micro-assembly after an adjustment took place.
solenoid An electro-magnet consisting of a coil with a movable core, which is used to activate the valves used
in the machine.
spray tack The aerosol substance used to create stickiness on the surface of a pallet.
spool A cylindrical shaped control element internal to an air valve which incorporates fixed rubber “O” rings along
its length designed to either block off, or open drilled air ports in the air valve body, depending on its position with-
in the valve body.
squeegee angle The position at which the squeegee blade comes in contact with the screen.
