Conformal coating has become a non-negotiable step for electronics manufacturers serving the automotive and industrial control sectors. In Germany \u2014 where quality standards, traceability requirements, and customer expectations are among the most demanding in the world \u2014 getting the coating process right means selecting equipment that delivers both precision and repeatability, day after day. This case documents an installation of Sanco’s Three-Axial Conformal Coating Machine<\/strong> at an electronics manufacturer in Germany, paired with a UV curing oven to complete their inline coating process.<\/p>\n

Goal<\/td>\nConsistent, programmable coating coverage with full edge-avoid capability, inline UV curing, and reliable process repeatability for automotive-grade production<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

Equipment Selected: Three-Axial Conformal Coating Machine<\/h2>\n

The customer operates an SMT and mixed-technology PCB assembly line supplying automotive and industrial clients across Europe. Their existing manual coating process could no longer meet throughput demands or the traceability requirements imposed by their OEM customers. After evaluating several suppliers, they selected Sanco’s three-axial conformal coating machine \u2014 primarily for its programmable motion control, selective coating accuracy, and compatibility with a range of coating materials including acrylic, silicone, and polyurethane.<\/p>\n
