Transition Automation Advances Squeegee Technology with "Sharp Edge" Enhancement
North Billerica, Massachusetts, USA, June 26, 2007 -Transition Automation, Inc. the worldwide leader in the manufacturing and distribution of Permalex® Edge metal squeegees, holder systems, and advanced self-cleaning squeegee systems, announces a new product enhancement: "Sharp Edge", designed to deliver better SMT printing results with certain fine-sphere solder paste printing applications.
With "Sharp Edge", the squeegee has a smaller tip radius than the traditional Permalex® Edge metal squeegee. The edge radius is a feature of the Permalex squeegee that contributes to long stable printing with minimal wear of both the stencil and squeegee edge. The standard radius of a Permalex squeegee is approximately 0.005 inches. The sharp edge option sets the radius closer to 0.003 inches. For certain situations, with fine solder paste spheres, there is a possibility that the small spheres may "roll-under" the squeegee, resulting in non-perfect wiping. The Sharp Edge variation will prevent this possibility while maintaining a radius that will continue to extend the life of the squeegee product. To specify this variation, the customer may simply add the code "-SE" to any existing T/A squeegee part number. There is no additional charge for this product enhancement.
