Automated Conformal Coat Inspection Nordson FX-940UV

Description

The Nordson ASYMTEK FX-940UV series makes inspection of conformal coatings simple and convenient by automating the inspection process for quality and consistency of coatings.

Conformal coatings used by electronic manufacturers contain UV indicators for the purpose of inspection. Since coatings are transparent, units must be viewed under black light in order to verify coverage and non-coverage. The Nordson ASYMTEK FX-940UV makes inspection of conformal coatings simple and convenient by automating the inspection process for quality and consistency of coatings.

Advanced High Power UV Lighting and newly available image processing technology integrate several techniques, including coverage inspection, color inspection, normalized correlation and rule-based algorithms, to provide complete inspection coverage with an unmatched low false failure rates.

With minimal programming, the inspection set-up is fast and intuitive typically requiring less than 30 minutes. A known good board is used to learn the coverage and non-coverage areas. The automated inspection typically takes only a few seconds with inspection results immediately displayed.  These results can be stored and reviewed off-line. The FX-940UV also reads all common barcodes and captures board images for product trace-ability.

FX-942UV:

Nordson ASYMTEK’s advanced multiple camera imaging technology offers high-speed inspection with exceptional defect coverage. With dual sided viewing (top-down and bottom up) cameras and UV lighting the FX-942 ACI inspects conformal coating coverage and verifies correct part assembly in SMT or THT applications, enabling users to improve quality and enhance yields.

Advanced High Power UV Lighting and newly available image processing technology integrate several techniques, including coverage inspection, color inspection, normalized correlation and rule-based algorithms, to provide complete inspection coverage with an unmatched low false failure rates.

Configurable for several line positions, the FX-942 ACI is equally effective for coating, pre/post-cure and final assembly inspection. Off-line programming maximizes machine utilization and real-time SPC monitoring provides a valuable yield enhancement solution.
