Second-Generation Slim-Line 38 Permalex Holder Debuts at APEX
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.
Transition Receives Large Order for Advanced Squeegees from Rotec BV
Dec 11, 2023 | Transition Automation, Inc. recently received a large order for Advanced Holder and Blade Assemblies compatible with DEK printers from Rotec BV in Belgium. This order – the third in recent months to Rotec – comes as Transition Automation seeks to realign Permalex distribution with a concentration on high-tier partners.
Transition Automation to Exhibit Advanced SMT Squeegees at Productronica
Nov 13, 2023 | Transition Automation, Inc. will exhibit a full range of high-performance Permalex Squeegee Blades and Holder Systems in Hall A3, Stand 142 at Productronica in Munich, Germany from November 14-17. In addition to a full range of blades, holders, and paste retainer designs, Transition will display its newest product release – Squeegee-Buddy 2924-4X, the first solution for storing and cleaning squeegees in an ergonomic frame system.
Transition Automation Updates Innovative Paste Retainers
Oct 02, 2023 | Transition Automation, Inc. has improved the unique Paste Retainer System that is included in the company's line of squeegee holder systems. The Soft-Touch™ Paste retainers now have a dual pin locking that better secures the white dam portion. Additionally, the attachment screws have been upgraded to Alloy Steel compared to the previous galvanized steel. The spring element is made thicker, giving the design more impact resistance. The total part count was reduced by 8 pcs per set. The white dam may be adjusted in or out based on the position of the squeegee blade, and the entire assembly can be adjusted up or down to push against the stencil or to ride above it slightly. This new design affords faster maintenance for cleaning and easer use.
Transition Automation Debuts Squeegee Safe-Storage and Cleaning Tool
Sep 15, 2023 | 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.

Mrs. Navez was born in Poland and studied at The University of Economy, Kalowice, Poland, with a degree in Finance and Banking, and at MassBay College in Wellesley, MA with a degree in Accounting.
Transition Automation Introduces New Slim-LineTM Universal Squeegee Holder
Jan 09, 2023 | 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.

Transition Automation Introduces Updated Holder Design for Better Blade Support
Feb 25, 2022 | Transition Automation today releases an updated holder design to improve blade support and simplify maintenance and blade changes for SMT printer operators. This new revision increases the holder width supporting the blade, which eliminates the support shim normally included with the holder assembly. This change also allows for faster printing speeds and better blade wiping as well as eliminating the problem of solder paste becoming lodged between the shim and blade after long use. An additional upgrade is the change to alloy steel flat head screws (vs. stainless steel). Alloy steel screws are less prone to stripping and deformation, making it easier to replace blades.

The holder also features scratch-proof nesting to keep the squeegee snug and in place if it is bumped or jostled.
Enhanced Squeegee QC with ID and Date Coding
May 12, 2020 | Transition Automation has introduced new product IDs that afford better quality control for squeegee end users.
