Abstract:
A screen printing apparatus includes an inspection region setter and an operation stop controller. The inspection region setter sets an inspection region in an inspection plane that intersects with a moving path of a mask until the mask positioned at a printing-job performing position moves to a mask shelter position by the moving mechanism. In addition, the inspection region setter excludes a passing region of the mask from the inspection region while the mask to be positioned at the mask shelter position passes over the inspection plane from the printing-job performing position.

Claim (Index 8):
A screen printing method used by a screen printing apparatus that performs printing paste on a substrate via a mask positioned at a printing-job performing position and causes a moving mechanism to position a used mask at a mask shelter position such that it is possible to pick up the mask positioned at the mask shelter position from a mask picking-up opening, the method comprising:\n setting an inspection region in an inspection plane that intersects with a moving path of the mask until the mask positioned at the printing-job performing position moves to the mask shelter position by the moving mechanism; excluding a passing region of the mask from the inspection region while the mask to be positioned at the mask shelter position passes over the inspection plane from the printing-job performing position; and stopping an operation of a predetermined operating mechanism in a case of detecting an inserted object inserted from the mask picking-up opening which crosses the inspection region.
