How to Choose the Right PCB Coating Machine Line

Technical Library | 2023-11-07 09:36:38.0

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.

How to achieve optimum results in automated dispensing

Technical Library | 2020-02-13 08:41:18.0

Efficient bonding, sealing and potting has a major influence on the sustainable function and safety of electronic components. The key to success here lies in the comprehensive view and control of process engineering. Here it pays to seek collaboration with the systems and the material manufacturer during the very early stages of the project. This is because dispensing systems must be selected for compatibility with the workpiece and the adhesive, sealant or potting compound used. And there are also other factors that play an important role in designing the optimum dispensing system:

How Detrimental Production Concerns Related to Solder Mask Residues Can Be Countered by Simple Operational Adaptations

Technical Library | 2019-09-19 00:28:48.0

The symbiotic relationship between solder masks and selective finishes is not new. The soldermask application is one of the key considerations to ensure a successful application of a selective finish. The selective finish is the final chemical step of the PCB manufacturing process, this is when the panels are at their most valuable and are unfortunately not re-workable. Imperfections are not tolerated, even if they are wholly cosmetic. Quality issues often manifest themselves in the form of a 'ping pong' conversation between the fabricators, the soldermask suppliers and the selective finish suppliers. Without tangible evidence these discussions are difficult to resolve and the selective finish process is usually regarded as responsible. This paper will focus on the chemical characteristics and use them to predict or identify potential issues before they occur rather than specifically name 'critical' soldermasks. It is also the intention of this paper to address the potential of a soldermask to react to common yield hiking practices like UV bumping and oven curing. It is hoped that this awareness will help fabricators to ensure maximum yields by asking the right questions. 'Critical’ soldermasks impact all selective finishes. In this paper, practical experience using immersion tin will be used to highlight the relationship between 'critical' soldermasks and some of the issues seen in the field. The paper will include a novel approach to identify re-deposited volatiles after the reflow.

How to Use the Right Flux for the Selective Soldering Application

Technical Library | 2017-05-17 22:33:43.0

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.

Ready to Start Measuring PCB Warpage during Reflow? Why and How to Use the New IPC-9641 Standard

Technical Library | 2014-08-19 15:39:13.0

Understanding warpage of package attach locations on PCBs under reflow temperature conditions is critical in surface mount technology. A new industry standard, IPC 9641, addresses this topic directly for the first time as an international standard.This paper begins by summarizing the sections of the IPC 9641 standard, including, measurement equipment selection, test setup and methodology, and accuracy verification. The paper goes further to discuss practical implementation of the IPC 9641 standards. Key advantages and disadvantages between available warpage measurement methods are highlighted. Choosing the correct measurement technique depends on requirements for warpage resolution, data density, measurement volume, and data correlation. From industry experience, best practice recommendations are made on warpage management of PCB land areas, covering how to setup, run, analyze, and report on local area PCB warpage.The release of IPC 9641 shows that flatness over temperature of the package land area on the PCB is critical to the SMT industry. Furthermore, compatibility of shapes between attaching surfaces in SMT, like a package and PCB, will be critical to product yield and quality in years to come.
