Does any one have any experience with the transition automation permalex squeegee blade (I called them and they couldn't tell me much), or any blade other than the typical nickle coated spring steel. Part of our production has been moved (by our cus

We have been using TA permalex blades for year, they work great! They will even work with you on custom designed blades to fit custom blade holders. If you're having trouble with solder paste sticking to the blades contact the vendor for some solut

We will be using the same paste for all boards. We would need to change head because of board widths. Is the amount of time changing heads comparable to the time changing squeegee blades?

I have had some conversations with MPM about the Rheo pump. They have some data to support the change from an ROI standpoint. One of their customers has seen a dramatic decline in the amount of wasted paste, resulting in a very large cost savings.
