Asymtek's PreciseCoat Jet Delivers Conformal Coating into Tight Spaces.Highly Selective Jet Eliminates Need for Masking CARLSBAD, Calif. -- Asymtek, leader in dispensing technology and pioneer in jetting technology, introduces the SC-400 PreciseCoat[TM] Conformal Coating Conformal coating material is applied to electronic circuitry to act as protection against moisture, dust, chemicals, and temperature extremes that if uncoated (non-protected) could result in a complete failure of the electronic system. Jet for applying coating materials to highly selective areas, especially on small substrates or substrates with high-component density where there are tight tolerances between coated and uncoated areas. With PreciseCoat jetting, the need for masking is virtually eliminated because delivery of the coating is so accurately controlled. Using a needle design with non-contact jetting action and fast pulse-width modulated mod·u·late v. mod·u·lat·ed, mod·u·lat·ing, mod·u·lates v.tr. 1. To adjust or adapt to a certain proportion; regulate or temper. 2. control, the SC-400 jet delivers conformal coating to areas not accessible by other applicators. Small volumes and precision control of the conformal coating material enable line widths down to 1.2 millimeters (0.05 inch) wide. Film thicknesses of 15 micrometers are achievable when using solvent-based materials. Acrylics, silicones, urethanes, UV-cure, and water-based materials with a viscosity range of 1 to 850 centipoise cen·ti·poise n. A unit in the centimeter-gram-second system that is of dynamic viscosity equal to one hundredth (10-2) of a poise. (cps) can be jetted. The PreciseCoat Jet provides flexibility for many diverse conformal coating applications in industries such as automotive, commercial, avionics, military, and the medical market. Multiple dot sizes can be delivered from the same applicator ap·pli·ca·tor n. An instrument for applying something, such as a medication. applicator, n a device for applying medication; usually a slender rod of glass or wood, used with a pledget of cotton on the end. , yielding small volumes with good volume control. A dual-valve configuration is available when the operation requires coverage of a large area in addition to precision conformal coating. The need for highly selective conformal coating applications is a result of shrinking electronics and the need to protect them from harsh environments and to dampen the effects of mechanical and thermal stresses, vibrations, and electrical noise. The SC-400 PreciseCoat Conformal Coating Jet enables the manufacturer to coat the exact area that needs protection, with a precise amount of coating, even in areas that are small and difficult to reach. The SC-400 is designed to be used on Asymtek's Century([R]) Series conformal coating systems. The Century Conformal Coating System provides consistent uniform dispensing of a variety of conformal coating materials for both batch and inline coating applications.

The first flat panels appeared on laptop computers in the mid-1980s, and the LCD technology became the standard. Stand-alone LCD screens became available for desktop computers in the mid-1990s and exceeded sales of CRTs for the first time , optoelectronic, appliance and other precision industrial manufacturing applications. Asymtek products deliver a wide variety of fluids, including glues, epoxies This article is about the band named the Epoxies. For the adhesive, see Epoxy. The Epoxies are an American band from Portland, Oregon formed in 2000. Heavily influenced by punk rock and New Wave the band has described themselves as robot garage rock. , solder pastes, coatings and gasketing materials.
