Abstract
A scraping machine for scraping glue off of a screen printing frame that includes a base adapted to support a screen printing frame. A first actuator is mounted on the base and has a carriage movable by the first actuator. A scraper vibrator is pivotally mounted to the carriage and imparts a vibration to the scraper blade. A second actuator is used to pivot the scraping blade into and out of contact with a surface of the screen printing frame to be scraped. When the scraping blade is in contact with the screen printing frame, the first actuator is used to move the scraping blade across a surface of the screen printing frame.
