Universal Permalex Holder Design Update from Transition Automation
October 27, 2015 | Transition Automation, Inc.Estimated reading time: 1 minute
Transition Automation, Inc., announces a new design upgrade to the Universal Permalex Holder System. The original patented holder design is now enhanced with three improvements: First, the support shim which is commonly included is now eliminated – which maintains the holder and blade assembly in better condition after extended use. The elimination of this extra part makes blade changes easier, and make the squeegee and holder perform more consistently over long duration production runs. A second enhancement is that the holder has been extended to provide more support to the blade – thereby increasing performance and rigidity for large area printing. Large area printing is becoming more common as electronics manufacturers try to maximize machine and line utilization. This stronger squeegee holder enables better printing performance for large area printing operations – by eliminating flex and providing more support for faster printing operations.
Finally – the new universal holder includes a spring loaded clamp bar, which extends open when loosened. By opening up – the holder gives the user a clear open area to insert the new blade which improves process repeatability.
This new product is in stock in four standard colors: Blue, Silver, Red and Green and is available for delivery in 3-5 days A.R.O. The Permalex Universal Holder System is a widely used precision holder that may be installed on any SMT printer. The holder system is lightweight and includes sliding and floating paste retainers to increase SMT printer performance by keeping the solder paste neatly contained withing the print area.
