The proof is in the pudding, at least with our Ekra.  If the blade is
leaving behind streaks of paste or has nicks that can be felt with a thumb
nail it is now a shim and should be removed from within reach of unobservant
operators.

Subject: [TN] Wear of squeegee blades


Hi Technos,

who doesn't know the story of the squeegee blades that stay in the machines
for years and when something very bad happens, they get rotated and reused?

Well, I kinda want to put some order in the squeegee usage and make an
inspection procedure that will ensure we only use well performing blades.

What are the criteria you are using to assess whether the squeegee blade is
still good? The granite table will eventually tell if there is some warpage,
but what about the wear of the active edge?

Thanks,

Ioan
