Transition Automation, Inc. is pleased to announce Squeegee Buddy, a new tool for SMT printer users to help improve process quality and organization. This SMT solution provides a secure storage for squeegees in the form of a frame that looks similar to a stencil frame. As such, it may be inserted into stencil cleaners to clean squeegees without damaging them. Capable of use for both squeegee storage and squeegee cleaning, the tool protects the squeegees from damage by keeping them within the outside dimensions of the frame. In this way, if the frame were to drop and fall on the floor, there would be no way for the squeegee blade to be impacted or damaged. This frame can be hung on a wall or inserted into a stencil frame rack to store the squeegees between operations.

Transition Automation, Inc. is pleased to announce the release of a new "Slim-Line Tool Free" Squeegee Holder System at this year's IPC APEX EXPO Trade Show in booth #3325. The new holder design is aptly named SlimLine to highlight the flat front surface and lack of screws or clamp bar features. This new holder design is our first "tool free" holder that allows for blade changes without the use of screwdrivers, nut wrenches or other tools. The new design incorporates magnets to secure the main body of the squeegee blade and unique end "locks" that have a very low profile. The result is a holder that provides a complete smooth front blade surface. The benefit of this design is that the squeegee blade does not have any protruding elements that typically interfere with solder paste rolling. Clamp bars, screws and hardware located in the front of the squeegee cause interruption and difficulty when maintaining squeegees. Screws get clogged with dried solder paste and paste will stick on any protruding surface. By eliminating these protruding elements, this new squeegee holder improves print quality and cleaning ability. Now, users can simply swipe across the front squeegee and obtain complete cleaning with a smooth spatula. This design is available for all SMT printers and maintains similar design outline as previous Transition Automation holder geometries. Another goal of the new design is to minimize interstitial spaces where cleaning fluid and paste can be trapped.
