Nordson ASYMTEK introduces Qadence™, a closed-loop system that automatically compensates for viscosity changes during conformal coating. This innovative system combines the capabilities of Nordson ASYMTEK's conformal coating hardware and software to selectively apply coating to specific areas of a circuit board consistently throughout production. The Qadence flow control system maintains stable fluid application, flow rates, and performance by automatically compensating for viscosity changes related to temperature, humidity, and batch-to-batch variation. It eliminates the need for frequent operator adjustments and downtime to recalibrate the process.
