Abstract: Every industry needs skilled labor to manually operate the machine effectively. But this need may cost high and the production rate will also be low in hosiery printing industries which runs in small scale. This paper introduces semi-automatic hosiery printing machine which helps in reducing the problems faced. The PLC controls the machine and the timings are programmed to make automatic operation. The bottom arm of the machine is moved or rotated using the pneumatic cylinder. Semiautomatic movement is initiated by pedal. Sensors make the notification that all the screens are lifted. This setup is for safety purpose as the supply is given only when the sensors are sensed. This machine will help the industries to increase the production rate without any skilled labors.
