Transition Automation Updates Paste
Retainers TYNGSBORO, MA — Transition Automation has improved the unique paste retainer system that is included in the company’s line of squeegee holder systems. The Soft-Touch™ Paste retainers now have a dual pin locking that bet- ter secures the white dam por- tion. Also, the attachment screws have been upgraded to alloy steel compared to the previous galva- nized steel. The spring element is made thicker, giving the design more impact resistance. The total part count was reduced by eight pieces per set. The white dam may be ad-
justed in or out based on the po- sition of the squeegee blade, and the entire assembly can be ad- justed up or down to push against the stencil or to ride above it slightly. This new design affords faster maintenance for cleaning and easier use. Contact: Transition Au-
