How to Choose the Right PCB Coating Machine Line Selecting the ideal equipment for your PCB coating line can be a complex task. In this article, we will guide you through the critical components of a standard PCB coating machine line and their solutions to common challenges. We'll delve into the line's composition, including the elevator, transfer station, coating machine, inspection station, curing oven, and their interconnectedness through a return conveyor. Let's explore each element and understand its role. Components of a PCB Coating Machine Line: Elevator: The PCB coating process starts with an elevator, efficiently transporting PCB boards to the next stage. Transfer Station: After the elevator, boards are conveyed to a transfer station, preparing them for the coating process. Coating Machine: The heart of the PCB coating line is the coating machine. We offer a range of coating machines, including I.C.T-T550, I.C.T-T550U, I.C.T-T600, and I.C.T-T650. Inspection Conveyor: Following the coating process, the boards move to an inspection station. The second transfer station is equipped with LED lights and a blue glass cover, enabling operators to closely inspect the coating quality. This feature is vital for ensuring consistent, dust-free coatings. Curing Oven: For UV-curable adhesives, we provide a UV curing oven to effectively solidify the adhesive. Return Conveyor: Beneath the entire line runs a return conveyor, connected to the elevator. This conveyor system efficiently returns PCBs from the last elevator to the first one, reducing manual handling and streamlining operations. The Advantages of the PCB Coating Line Design: 1. Easy Accessibility: The operator's station is strategically located beside the coating machine, ensuring easy access for setup and adjustments. 2. Enhanced Efficiency: The integrated return conveyor eliminates the need for manual transport, optimizing workflow. 3. Quality Control: The inspection station with the blue glass cover enables operators to inspect coatings for quality and cleanliness. 4. Dust Prevention: The blue glass cover also serves as a barrier to prevent dust contamination on freshly coated PCBs. Selecting the right PCB coating machine line is essential for achieving quality and efficiency in your operations. Our meticulously designed equipment line, along with its well-engineered components, can help you attain superior results. If you have further questions or need assistance in choosing the best solution for your specific requirements, please do not hesitate to contact us. We are committed to providing solutions that meet your needs and exceed your expectations.

Conformal Coatings are often used to increase the reliability of electronic assemblies operating in harsh or corrosive environments where the product would otherwise fail prematurely. Conformal coatings are often qualified to international standards, intended to enable users to better differentiate between suitable conformal coating chemistries, but always on a flat test coupon, which is not representative of real world use conditions. In order to better correlate international standards with real world-use conditions, three-dimensional Surface Insulation Resistance (SIR) test boards have been manufactured with dummy components representative of those commonly used on printed circuit assemblies...

In this article, the influence of shrinkage tensile stress in potting materials on the anti-overload performance of a circuit board was studied. Firstly, the phenomenon of shrinkage tensile stress in common potting materials was analyzed, and it was found that the commonly used potting adhesives displayed large shrinkage characteristics. Secondly, a small experiment was set up to verify that the shrinkage tensile stress of potting adhesives would lead to printed circuit board (PCB) deformation, and the shrinkage stress was contrary to the acceleration direction of overload. Thirdly, the influence of potting adhesives on the overload resistance of the PCB was analyzed.

How to repair boards if they have been produced for a long time, and the documentation is lost? In this case, intelligent recognition systems can help, which will allow you to identify component pins without documentation for the board. In this article, we will find the STM32F429 board malfunctions without any documentation and in the least amount of time.

Over time most PCB designs need to change – a mistake is found, or a part becomes obsolete, etc. Typically once the changes are complete, a new set of manufacturing files (Gerbers, NC Drill files, BOM, Pick and Place, etc) are generated, and the updated design is stored as separate version within a version control system. Using a version control system makes it possible for design teams to go back later and compare differences between design versions. ****** http://www.numericalinnovations.com/blogs/news/gerber-comparisons-between-revisions-of-the-same-board *****

Two major drivers in electronic industry are electrical and mechanical miniaturization. Both induce major changes in the material selection as well as in the design. Nevertheless, the mechanical and thermal reliability of a Printed Circuit Board (PCB) has to remain at the same high level or even increase (e.g. multiple lead-free soldering). To achieve these reliability targets, extensive testing has to be done with bare PCB as well as assembled PCB. These tests are time consuming and cost intensive. The PCBs have to be produced, assembled, tested and finally a detailed failure analysis is required to be performed.This paper examines the development of our concept and has the potential to enable the prediction of the lifetime of the PCB using accelerated testing methods and finite element simulations.

The selective soldering application requires a combination of performance attributes that traditional liquid fluxes designed for wave soldering applications cannot fulfill. First, the flux deposition on the board needs to be carefully controlled. Proper fine tuning of the flux physicochemical characteristics combined with a process optimization are mandatory to strike the right balance between solderability and reliability. However, localization of the flux residue through the drop jet process is not enough to guarantee the expected performance level. The flux needs to be designed to minimize the impact of unavoidable spreading and splashing events.From this perspective a fundamental understanding of the relationships between formulation and reliability is critical. In this application, thermal history of the flux residues (from room temperature to solder liquidus) is a key performance driver. Finally, it is necessary to conduct statistically designed experiments on industrial selective soldering machines in order to map the relationships between flux characteristics and selective process friendliness.
