Selective Valves & Conformal Coating Process Equipment
Match atomised spray, film coating, or needle valves to coating chemistry, pattern width, and keep-out constraints. The right electronic coating equipment improves edge definition and stabilises cycle times.
- Compare cone spray vs. film coating for speed and coverage.
- Specify shut-off, purge, and calibration routines for repeatability.
- Validate bead width, overlap, and cornering on representative coupons.
Selective Robotic Coating Machinery: Best Practices
Standardise program libraries, valve heights, and bead overlaps to lift first-pass yield. Robust conformal coating production equipment practices improve takt time and protect no-coat areas.
- Lock recipes and revision control; use golden boards for verification.
- Add vision fiducials, nozzle clean stations, and SPC bead checks.
- Design fixturing for access, purge capture, and ESD control.
Spray Guns & PCB Coating Equipment
Dial in atomisation pressure, fan width and material feed to control film build and minimise orange peel. Pair high quality HVLP guns with dedicated conformal coating spray booths and manage airflow, temperature, and RH.
- Standardise viscosity windows and solvent flash routines.
- Use pattern boards to verify edge definition and keep-out seals.
- Capture overspray and maintain booth filtration for quality and safety.
Dip Systems & Process Control
Control immersion, speed, withdrawal speed, dwell, and viscosity to achieve uniform coverage with tight Cp/Cpk. Effective conformal coating dip coating equipment setup stabilises throughput.
- Qualify edge break lines and capillary behaviour on sample builds.
- Monitor solvent loss, monitor with viscosity kits, replenish to target solids, and log bath health.
- Use SPC on thickness coupons and critical features.
