TRANSITION AUTOMATION - PERMALEX METAL SQUEEGEES
Transition Automation, Inc. is the leading world supplier of long life Permalex metal squeegees. These squeegees are robust and highly refined to endure the rigors of SMT printing. Permalex squeegees bring an extended payback period to the end user, by reducing the frequency of machine downtime, and maintaining high quality paste printing across various assembly lines and throughout extended product cycles.
Common problems with other metal blades:
- Fatigue bending – blades made with soft etched stainless steel or nickel are prone to bending
- Fatigue warping – soft metals allow bends and dings from handling
- Cracking and Chipping – Other plated blades exhibit cracks and flakes. Micro-cracks are sometimes undetectable to the eye.
4 reasons for choosing Permalex:
1. Increased Line Speed and Efficiency - Better wiping, clean sharp prints mean less time reworking and rejecting boards and less stencil wiping. Absolutely consistent product quality gives you a reliable source and consistency on various production lines, and on repeat purchases.
2. Reduced Stencil Damage and Squeegee Inspection / Adjustments - Permalex squeegees have a polymer infused lubricant which will not scratch and wear out your stencils. Improper squeegee tip design is a major source of stencil stress and damage.
High Permalex Quality and optimized holder designs insure fast, easy set-up.
3. Innovative Holders, Save Time and Money Our patent pending sliding paste retainer holders allow you to stock fewer holder assets. You may now stock clean bare replacement stock (which is lower cost). Install different blade lengths quickly and adjust paste retainers and you are ready to go! All holders are optimized to handle tough variations in board support, paste chemistry and stencil technology.
4. Protect Your Investment - Your squeegee is the most important part of your printer, and your printer is the most important machine affecting the quality of your line. Quality in your squeegee guarantees quality in your line, and in your end product. Your time, your product and your people are a valuable resource. Protect all your investments with Permalex technology.

Paste Deposits using Permalex Blades
Permalex Edge Metal squeegees eliminate pumping and scavenging improving solder paste deposit quality. The smooth lubricated edge reduces stencil pulling and stretching, improving pad registration and stencil life. |
