Self-cleaning Squeegee System

The Permalex Paste Manager, from Transition Automation, is a self-cleaning squeegee system based on microprocessor controlled torque actuators. Offered as a solution to the ongoing problem of solder paste sticking to squeegees inside screen printers, this electronically actuated version of the company’s Paste Manager reportedly achieves 90% cleaning in 3.9 seconds for a 14? squeegee. Additionally, solder paste is said to remain viable for longer duty cycles and with a wider range of viscosities than possible with standard squeegees.
