What are components in GLUDITEC Inline Conformal Coating System?
The IGC-320 is GLUDITEC’s standard solution for efficient and high-precision conformal coating in electronic manufacturing. Each component of the system plays a crucial role in delivering reliable, moisture-resistant coatings to printed circuit boards (PCBs). Let’s explore these components and their functions:
1. Coating Robot
The coating robot in the IGC-320 system is equipped with a range of motors and sensors to enable precise, automated conformal coating. The X-axis is controlled by limit sensors to define the movement boundaries, while the Z motor adjusts the vertical position, and the U motor provides rotational control for the coating head. The R and K motors further fine-tune the robot’s movements, ensuring accurate path tracking across the PCB surface. The S motor helps manage the conveyor system, positioning the PCBs for coating. A high-precision valve dispenses the coating material, guided by a CCD camera and light source for real-time inspection and accuracy. Additional sensors, including M, R, and L sensors, monitor alignment and operation, while the P-cylinder and blocking mechanisms control mechanical movements to ensure the entire process is smooth and precise.
2. Valve Configuration
2.1. GV-697 Conformal Coating Valve
The GV-697 valve is designed for dispensing moisture-resistant coatings in thin film patterns. Its unique square-cut nozzle provides superior control, preventing overspray and ensuring a neat application. This is essential for maintaining coating quality, especially in critical areas.
2.2. GV-575B Suck-back Dispensing Valve
For narrow or hard-to-reach areas, the GV-575B valve steps in. This precision needle valve, equipped with a suck-back feature, is ideal for applying low-viscosity fluids with great accuracy. It ensures precise cut-offs and prevents drips, making it perfect for delicate PCB components.
3. CCD Camera for Active Alignment
The CCD camera provides real-time image capture of the coating process. It plays an essential role in pattern definition, setup assistance, and verification of coating accuracy. By offering visual feedback, the camera helps operators fine-tune the process for optimal results.
4. Glue Tank with Electronic Scale
This component monitors the amount of adhesive in the system. The electronic scale triggers an alarm when the glue level is low, ensuring timely refills and uninterrupted coating operations. The digital display allows operators to easily track adhesive levels in real time.
5. Auto-Cleaning System
The cleaner containing tank is responsible for maintaining the system’s cleanliness. It supports automatic cleaning, ensuring that the valves and other critical parts remain free of residue buildup, which is crucial for long-term operational reliability.
6. UV Inspecting Light
The UV inspecting system plays a vital role in the quality control process. By using ultraviolet light, it allows operators to visually inspect the applied coating to ensure even coverage and adherence to specifications.
