Abstract

PURPOSE:To make it possible to always check the quantity of cream solder remaining on the upper surface of a printing screen. CONSTITUTION:An automatic squeegee 2 is provided with a noncontact type distance sensor 1 which measures by an ultrasonic wave a distance (y) to a collected body 11a of cream solder 11 collected in the vicinity of a contact part 7 of a squeegee plate part 2a of the automatic squeegee 2 with a printing screen 4. The noncontact type distance sensor 1 transmits the ultrasonic wave to the collected body 11a of the cream solder collected at the contact part 7 of the squeegee plate part 2a of the automatic squeegee 2 with the printing screen 4, receives a reflected wave of the ultrasonic wave from the collected body 11a of the cream solder 11 and calculates the distance (y) on the basis of the time required from the start of transmission of the ultrasonic wave to the start of reception of the reflected wave.
