Transition Automation will showcase Permalex SMT printing squeegee blades and holder products in booth 9-634 at the SMT/Hybrid/Packaging exhibition this week in Germany. The products will be showcased by PB Technik, GmbH.
The company is also releasing many new holder designs based on a patented pin-reference alignment system. The lightweight, feature-packed SMT blade holder allows users quick change of blades, high visibility and light mass for user comfort. The lightweight design is important to eliminate handling damage to squeegee edges. The holder integrates a reference “window” through which users can confirm the proper seating of the squeegee blade. Can be easily updated with a new or repositioned blade, and is easy to clean and maintain.
PB Technik will also demonstrate The Permalex Paste Manager, a self-cleaning squeegee system.

DX-200 Series of Digital Dispenser/Controllers are affordable, accurate and repeatable micro-air dispensing systems.
DX-200 offers an operating pressure of 0 to 100 Psi, (0 to 6.9bar), and is configured for general dispensing applications; DX-215 has an operating pressure of 0 to 15 Psi, (0 to 1 bar), and is designed for specific low viscosity fluids. Applications range from the precision deposition of surface-mount solder paste and adhesive to semiconductor under-fill.
The units are supplied with a power adapter, air hose, sample tips, barrel, syringe adapter and syringe stand. Operating from a 24V DC supply, the CE-certified dispensers feature a timer range of 0.008 to 99.99 sec.
Specified for manufacturing environments where accuracy and repeatability take priority, features a digital timer and adjustable vacuum for controlling drips between dispense cycles.
The contemporary, robust housing is designed with a small footprint to conserve workspace, and can be easily carried between work locations. Units can also be stacked and fastened on top of each other for further bench top efficiency.

Polymer System Supreme 10HTFL is a one-component, flexible, high-performance, epoxy resin-based adhesive/sealant with a service temperature range of -300° to +300°F. It cures readily to a tough, strong flexible thermoset polymer at temperatures of 250° to 300°F and above. Features extended ambient temperature storage capability and does not require refrigeration for extended storage before use. Said to exhibit high physical strength properties and excellent adhesion to a wide range of metallic and nonmetallic substrates even upon prolonged exposure to hostile environmental conditions.
Adhesive and sealing properties to aluminum, steel and other metals, as well as fiber reinforced composites, most plastics, ceramics, glass, wood, etc. are high. Tensile lap shear strengths of more than 2000 psi and T-peels in excess of 60 pli are obtained for aluminum bonding.
Has high resistance to severe thermal and mechanical shock and vibration. Pertinent physical strength properties including flexibility are retained when bonded assemblies are subjected to demanding service conditions. Performance properties are impressive when bonding substrates with wide differences in their thermal expansion coefficients. Reportedly has superior chemical resistance to water, salts, oils, fuels and many organic solvents. Is an excellent electrical insulator. Does not require mixing prior to use.
