Transition Automation Unveils New Permalex Pro Reinforced Squeegee Line
October 8, 2015 | Transition Automation, Inc.Estimated reading time: Less than a minute
Transition Automation, Inc., announces a new high performance product line for pump printing applications. The Permalex-Pro “R” series is a reinforced blade assembly which enables high speed continuous operation for extended high volume SMT printing. The new process developed by Transition Automation adapts a steel rod to the non-printing edge of the squeegee which aids the user in handling and assembly and improves the straightness and durability of the squeegee during customer installation and operation. The new product is available for delivery in 3-5 days A.R.O.

Fresh PCB Concepts: Assembly Challenges with Micro Components and Standard Solder Mask Practices
06/26/2025 | Team NCAB -- Column: Fresh PCB ConceptsMicro components have redefined what is possible in PCB design. With package sizes like 01005 and 0201 becoming more common in high-density layouts, designers are now expected to pack more performance into smaller spaces than ever before. While these advancements support miniaturization and functionality, they introduce new assembly challenges, particularly with traditional solder mask and legend application processes.
Knocking Down the Bone Pile: Tin Whisker Mitigation in Aerospace Applications, Part 3
06/25/2025 | Nash Bell -- Column: Knocking Down the Bone PileTin whiskers are slender, hair-like metallic growths that can develop on the surface of tin-plated electronic components. Typically measuring a few micrometers in diameter and growing several millimeters in length, they form through an electrochemical process influenced by environmental factors such as temperature variations, mechanical or compressive stress, and the aging of solder alloys.
