An effector module 203 for use with a screen printing machine which includes a frame support for supporting a mounting frame of a printing screen unit, the effector module comprising: a mounting frame 210, which is configured to replace the mounting frame of the printing screen unit and provide for mounting of the effector module in the frame support of the screen printing machine; a support member, which extends from the mounting frame; an attachment member 211 to which an end effector 212 is removably attached; and a positioning mechanism which is mounted to the support member 205 and connected to the attachment member, such as to provide for positioning of the attachment member in an X-Y plane. The effector may be a fluid dispensing effector, eg. For dispensing adhesive, solder flux or paste, in a desired pattern, or an ink jetting or laser etching effector. |
