This work describes the process of setting up an automated coating line. In the introduction chapter we describe the purpose of conformal coatings.
In second chapter we summarize the history of conformal coatings and describe different used materials.
The following section is about the project preparation. Described are hardware requirements and suggested coating. Hardware selection is presented in details with the ROI calculation.
The fourth chapter describes the hardware setup and programming. The hardware setup includes space organization and wiring of line segments. Programming of the machine is explained in details on two practical examples – how to start programming, what to observe and possible problems that we may encounter.
The next chapter discusses software and hardware upgrades, offline programming, the use of software dispensing tool and the design of panel support for easier dispensing.
Finally we discuss results of this work and possible use of the automated conformal coating line in the future.
