Transition Automation: Articulating Paste Retainers for SMT Printing
Tyngsborough, MA — Transition Automation has launched its fourth-generation paste retainer, one that incorporates new features and benefits for SMT printing. These paste retainers are an important part of the SMT squeegee that serves to keep the solder paste within the printing area of the stencil. This new design gives users full adjusta-
bility, both up-down positions and left-right positions, and also enables users to quickly loosen and remove the retainer to allow easy cleaning during product changeover. This patent-pending design has a parallel leaf spring configuration that provides a gentle
degree of freedom, with a soft spring load in the z direction that allows the paste retainer to ride close to the stencil, or in contact with the stencil, without causing damage to or coining of the foil. The leaf spring design holds the paste
retainer in a rigid vertical orientation which provides maximum damming function to keep the solder paste in the print area. This helps users minimize process interruption to reposi- tion solder paste into the print area and also improves the solder paste quality by minimiz- ing leakage of idle solder paste from the print

built using Creform 1.1 in. (28 mm) pipe and joint. The racks are built on wheels,
but once in position, are connected to each other to create an integrated storage cell with parts to be pulled for kits. These particular Creform flow racks are outfitted with a self- contained pick-to-light system to assist the associate with choosing the correct parts in order to make accu- rate manufacturing kits in the cor-
