UV Conformal Coating Inspection Booths

Ergonomic, production-proven UV booths for reliable conformal coating QA

SCH’s UV conformal coating inspection booths provide a controlled workstation for inspecting conformally coated PCBs under 365nm UVA lighting. Designed for accuracy and operator comfort, they support inspection, rework, de-masking, repair, and finishing as part of high-reliability conformal coating processes.

Choose the IB100 for compact single-operator use, or the IB101 for dual-operator throughput (or one operator with additional workspace). Both models are production-proven in SCH workflows and help you standardise inspection for audits and workmanship expectations.

UV conformal coating inspection booths (IB100 / IB101) for PCB inspection and QA – SCH Services UK

IB100 single-operator UV inspection booth

The IB100 inspection booth is a compact floor-standing workstation for single-operator use. It provides a clean, ergonomic environment for in-situ inspection of conformal coatings on PCBs and supports finishing and rework tasks without compromising inspection consistency.

With 365nm UVA lighting housed behind a UV-transmittable laminate panel, the IB100 improves visibility of coverage, thin areas, skips, bubbles, and other process defects so issues are identified earlyβ€”before test escapes or downstream rework costs increase.

Key features

  • βœ… Floor-standing design with plinth for seated operator use
  • βœ… Twin UVA lighting tubes behind UV-transmittable laminate panel
  • βœ… Independent lighting switch control
  • βœ… Single 150mm extraction spigot for connection to suitable LEV
  • βœ… Powder-coated frame for durability and easy cleaning

Dimensions and facilities

  • External dimensions (approx.): 780mm (W) Γ— 850mm (D) Γ— 1735mm (H)
  • Extraction: 1 Γ— 150mm connection
  • Power: 13A single phase
  • Extraction requirement: 450 cfm (0.7m/s face velocity requirement)

IB101 dual-operator UV inspection booth

The IB101 inspection booth is built for throughput. It supports two operators side-by-side (or a single operator with expanded workspace), making it ideal for higher-volume conformal coating production, repair lines, and QA stations.

Two sets of 365nm UVA lighting modules provide full-area coverage behind UV-transmittable laminate panels, helping operators maintain consistent inspection decisions and reduce variability across shifts.

Key features

  • βœ… Dual-operator capacity (or single operator + tool space)
  • βœ… Two UVA lighting zones for full working-area coverage
  • βœ… Independent lighting control to reduce strain and energy use
  • βœ… Dual 150mm extraction spigots for connection to suitable LEV
  • βœ… Powder-coated framework for long service life in production

Dimensions and facilities

  • External dimensions (approx.): 1545mm (W) Γ— 850mm (D) Γ— 1735mm (H)
  • Extraction: 2 Γ— 150mm connections
  • Power: 13A single phase
  • Extraction requirement: 450 cfm (0.7m/s face velocity requirement)

πŸŽ“ Inspection training and defect recognition

SCH doesn’t just supply inspection boothsβ€”we help you standardise inspection outcomes. Training covers how to identify common coating defects under UV, implement IPC-aligned inspection checkpoints, and build repeatable decisions that reduce escapes and rework.

  • Hands-on training with IB100 & IB101 booths
  • Defect recognition (skips, bubbles, bridging, thin areas, contamination indicators)
  • Inspection workflow design: when to inspect, what to record, and how to escalate
  • On-site or online modules to suit your team

FAQs

1. Why use a dedicated UV inspection booth for conformal coating?
A dedicated booth provides consistent illumination and a controlled environment, improving repeatability when checking coverage and defects. This reduces subjective decisions and helps prevent escapes before downstream test or shipment.
2. What tasks can the booth support beyond inspection?
IB100/IB101 are commonly used for de-masking, finishing, localised rework and repair where controlled light and safe extraction connections support cleaner, safer workflows.
3. Do the booths include extraction?
The booths include extraction spigots for connection to a suitable extraction/LEV system (not supplied). This supports safe handling of solvent vapours during finishing or rework.
4. What’s the difference between IB100 and IB101?
IB100 is compact for one operator; IB101 is wider for two operators or one operator needing additional workspace and lighting coverage.
