Double-Edged Squeegee Assembly from Transition Automation
Tyngsborough, MA — Transition Automation has introduced its precision Permalex® Edge metal squeegee assembly designed to improve the printing performance of single-squeegee Yamaha printers. The new squeegee assembly design eliminates fasteners altogether, consti- tuting a major improvement over first genera- tion Permalex assemblies for Yamaha. The first-generation assemblies included a
row of custom fasteners that would hold the squeegee and clamp bar to the main structure of the squeegee assembly. The new design includes a proprietary adhesive and uniquely formed mating surfaces that maximize bond and surface area between the blade and holder, eliminating the need for fasteners.
ABB Unveils Latest YuMi Collaborative Robot
Cary, NC — Building on the success of its YuMi® series of collaborative, dual-arm industrial robots, ABB has unveiled a single-arm version. The new robot contains many of the same capabilities, but has a much smaller footprint.
Collaborative robots, also called
cobots, are designed to work along- side humans on the factory floor,
The result is a flush, flat, and featureless
surface for the solder paste to roll and print along the stencil. The assembly is also easy to clean and
maintain during production pauses. The new assemblies are assigned part number PLX- YAM-DBL-C-XX-PR, and are available 10 days A.R.O. These assemblies may be purchased in
lengths from 8.6 to 19.7 in. (21.9 to 50 cm). Contact: Transition Automation, 5 Trader

raising overall productivity and sup- porting companies in performing mass customization. Like YuMi, the small-parts
assembly robot introduced in 2015, the new robot has a payload of 1.1 lb (0.5 kg). Due to its compact size, it can be integrated easily into existing assembly lines. The new robot can also be programmed easily, eliminat- ing the need for specialized training for operators. As companies begin to implement smart factory technolo- gies, the new robot, combined with ABB’s Ability™ digital solutions, will provide new levels of efficiency and
reliability. Contact: ABB, 12040 Regency
