DS101 Conformal Coating Dip System

The DS101 Conformal Coating Dip System is a precision-built, floor-standing machine designed for medium to high-volume batch processing of printed circuit boards. Safe, reliable, and proven in production environments, the DS101 ensures consistent coating thickness with repeatable accuracy.

Because the system runs entirely on compressed air, it is intrinsically safe with flammable materials. This pneumatic design also eliminates the need for costly electronics, making it more robust and cost-effective when working with solvent-based coatings.

DS101 Conformal Coating Dip System – Features & Benefits

The DS101 Conformal Coating Dip System has been engineered specifically for medium-volume PCB production using the dip coating process. Its air-over-oil pneumatic system provides smooth, regulated immersion and withdrawal speeds, eliminating air entrapment and ensuring an even, repeatable film build.

Operators benefit from a precision-controlled dip cycle that achieves consistent coating thickness within tight tolerances. The DS101 is compatible with solvent, silicone, and water-based coatings, offering flexibility for different production requirements. A fully pneumatic design combined with an integrated fume extraction hood ensures safer operation when working with flammable or solvent-based materials. Meanwhile, the constant-levelling re-circulating weir system and easy-clean tank design support efficient workflow and reduced downtime.

Key features include:

• Pneumatically driven control and pump system from a single air inlet, meeting strict health and safety needs

• Air-over-oil regulated dip cycle for smooth immersion and withdrawal

• Front-mounted control panel for straightforward operation

• Multiple horizontal support rods on the dipping arm

• Constant-levelling re-circulating weir system for coating consistency

• Full compatibility with solvent, silicone, and water-based coatings

• Integrated fume extraction hood and spigot connection

• RoHS-compliant design

Optional upgrades extend flexibility further, including argon gas flow monitoring, viscosity measurement tools, speed calibration, Teflon-coated tanks, custom tank sizes, stainless-steel weir catch trays, transparent safety doors, automatic viscosity control, and bespoke PCB jigging and carriers.

The stainless-steel dip tank offers a usable area of 600 mm (L) × 200 mm (W) × 300 mm (D) with a 50 mm × 150 mm rear weir for easy cleaning and an approximate capacity of 40 litres.

Built for durability, the DS101 features a powder-coated steel frame with solvent-resistant stainless-steel panels. Its all-pneumatic design contains no electronics, making it safer and more reliable for use with explosive or flammable coatings.
