Nordson Asymtek, a Nordson company, a leader in dispensing, jetting, and coating equipment, will introduce an array of products, technologies, and solutions for conformal coating and automated fluid dispensing at productronica 2017.
Three conformal coating solutions will be shown:
- First, a modular coating line will provide real-time Cpk so that coating productivity can be easily monitored, thanks to inter-machine communication (Industry 4.0) between the Select Coat SL-940 conformal coating system, the FX-942UV automated optical inspection (ACI) system, and an integrated oven, which enhances productivity in minimal floor space. In addition, the communication between the coating and the ACI systems, which has top and bottom inspection as well as a new, integrated coating thickness sensor, will allow the user to adjust the coating program speed depending on a thickness trend variation.
- A second conformal coating line will demonstrate the wide range of flexibility in the company’s coating systems, incorporating the SC-350 Select Spray applicator and the AM 2.0 Series 2-component (2k) coating feeding system in the SL-940 coating system. The air spray applicator improves edge definition significantly for spray coating with less masking or clean-up. The AM 2.0 Series applicator provides in-line fluid mixing with process controls to ensure accurate mix ratios and efficient operation. Next to the SL-940 coater is a UV-9-LED curing oven to create a highly versatile production line.
- A third conformal coating option, the Conexis conformal coating system, demonstrates affordable efficiency for automated conformal coating processes.
The company’s automated fluid dispensing solutions will introduce two dispensing platforms and an integrated solution:
- New levels of speed and accuracy for bulk and two-component (2C or 2K) dispensing thermal paste, potting, and encapsulation materials can be attained with the new Helios SD-960 bulk and two-component dispensing system. This system will incorporate existing bulk-dispensing applicators, with process controls that protect the accuracy demanded by electronics manufacturers for efficiency and productivity.
- The 2-in-1 dispensing system and post-dispense inspection kit provides the process control by jetting small volumes as low as 1 nanoliter at frequencies up to 1000 Hz. The Spectrum II Premier automated fluid dispensing system with built-in automated optical inspection system gives immediate feedback for the dispensing process, so course corrections can be made immediately. This ensures accurate dispensing results before moving to the next step in the assembly process, saving time and money.
An exciting demonstration features the Vantage fluid dispensing system combined with the IntelliJet jetting system. This dynamic duo demonstrates speed and accuracy in an expanded dispense area for applications in high-volume electronics manufacturing. The Vantage dispensing system is controlled by the dispensing software, Canvas, with graphical programing and guided wizards.
