ASYMTEK Intros Panorama Conformal Coating Line
Carlsbad, CA —Nordson ASYMTEK is introducing its Panorama™ conformal coating line solutions, providing a balance of equipment and process con- trol for optimal efficiency in automated conformal coating. Panorama lines are modular, so that con- figurations are flexible and equipment can be added easily when needed. Process control and automation work together to create efficiency. Each line solution delivers: a single point of
contact for support and maintenance needs, process improvements and smart solutions; a full range of equipment options; minimal operator interaction; closed-loop controls, parameter limits and inspection across the line; process data for improved productivity; and stability and consisten- cy at each step. Three major lines are available
within the Panorama family. The S- Line, to be demonstrated at produc- tronica 2019, performs automated conformal coating in a space-saving footprint, with overlapping line processes that maximize manufac- turing floor space. This innovative, patent-pending line layout trims 50 percent of its length by using the equipment’s space below the convey- or for functional use, such as a heat- ed return or flash-off process. The Panorama S-Line includes
a Select Coat® SL-940 conformal coating system with an exhaust con- veyor or IR-curing module in the lower deck area. The FX940UV ACI module, in line further downstream, confirms in real time that the confor- mal coating is being properly applied. In the S-Line, the Select Cure®
IR-9 module can perform both top and bottom material curing. Curing is important to ensure that the applied coating doesn’t migrate, remains unblemished, and that han- dling does not cause damage. Coating failures such as shrinkage, solvent entrapment, orange peel, and bub- bles can occur if the material isn’t appropriately cured. Curing, howev- er, takes time and can impact opera- tor safety. The Panorama S-Line address-
es these concerns by introducing ovens that “dry” boards, safely vent VOCs, block UV light, and support high production throughput. Having a flash-off capability in each module eliminates bubbles by allowing time for excess solvent to evaporate before a coated board enters the curing oven. The S-Line also contains a line loader/unloader module with which operators can feed new PCBs, giving a single operator the ability to load and unload production products from one location in the middle of the coat- ing line. The module is available in dif-
ferent lengths and can be equipped with an exhaust or IR-9 module in the lower deck. EasyCoat® 6 software enables intuitive visual program- ming, as well as offline program- ming. The S-Line is fully integrated with FIS/MES software to capture up-to-the-minute process data. The C-Line offers advanced
process control along with a more conventional line layout, supporting high-volume production environ- ments. Each component fits seam- lessly together to deliver powerful coating and curing capabilities, closed-loop controls, and data to fuel continuous process improvement. The R-Line is for custom region- al solutions. Equipment varies by

coating process. In addition to modules for load- ing/unloading, Panorama conformal coating lines can include board flipping and lifting modules as required for an operation. The flip module flips boards automatically to
allow both sides of a board to be coated without operator intervention, reducing board-handling
requirements and increasing yield. Contact: Nordson ASYMTEK, 2747 Loker
