Abstract: A stencil printer includes a frame, a stencil, a support assembly, and a print head, and a print head assembly supported by the print head gantry in such a manner that the print head assembly is configured to traverse the stencil during print strokes. The support assembly supports the electronic substrate in a print position beneath the stencil. The print head assembly includes a print head a squeegee blade assembly configured to roll solder paste along the stencil. The stencil printer further includes a cover coupled to the frame to enclose operating components of the stencil printer, including the stencil, the support assembly, the print head gantry and the print head assembly. The cover includes an elongate opening formed therein and a movable door configured to selectively close the elongate opening. The elongate opening is sized to enable the stencil and/or a tooling tray to pass through.
