Mar 18, 2024 Marking the one year anniversary of Transition’s Slim-Line 38 squeegee holder introduction, Transition Automation, Inc. is pleased to announce the release of the second generation design of this unique premium squeegee system. Plans are in place to exhibit the new generation tools in booth #2138 at the 2024 IPC APEX EXPO, scheduled to take place April 9-11, 2024 at the Anaheim Convention Center in Calif.
The new design builds upon customer experience with the first generation and incorporates a different magnetic locking system. Round magnets have been replaced by rectangular magnets, and a flux spreader shim has been added to help distribute the magnetic locking forces more evenly across the blade body. This intermediate shim also improves the blade change process by providing a smooth polished corrosion free surface that easily receives and guides the blade to its reference pins.
