Conformal Coating

Selective conformal coating systems provide advantages for manufacturers at every level of production from batch to high-volume, in-line. Flexible, integrated coating and curing systems, with choice of applicators, provide precise coating with process controls and traceability. The result is cost savings, increased throughput and productivity

When it comes to conformal coating operations, PCB manufacturers are continually challenged by the need to balance throughput, materials and labor investments, while also addressing the regulatory and environmental concerns associated with the process. Traditional methods for applying conformal coatings, such as dipping and air spray, have always been expensive in terms of materials and labor. The expense of solventless conformal coating materials has driven costs even higher.

Nordson ASYMTEK's selective coating systems provide a host of advantages for manufacturers at every level of production from batch to high-volume, in-line processing. These flexible, programmable, integrated coating and curing systems provide precise application of conformal coating and IR/convection or UV curing. A choice of patented dispensing heads allows systems to be configured to meet specific customer coating requirements. The result is cost savings, increased throughput and productivity. In addition, the elimination of VOC emissions delivers a rapid return on investment.
