1.7 Feature Description

The SL-940 can be customized to fit your needs. It is available with or without heat, with or without a
conveyor and with manual or electronic pressure regulators. Available features are listed below.
1.7.1 Computer System

The computer system consists of a laptop computer with a Windows operating system and EasyCoat
software. The computer arm is adjustable in height and right/left orientation.
1.7.2 EasyCoat Software

Nordson ASYMTEK's EasyCoat software provides precise conformal coating with process controls and
traceability for conformal coating systems. This software enables quick and accurate programming within
a standard Windows environment. Key features include:
• Off-Line Programming
• Masking
• Traceability
• Graphical Interface
• SMEMA Compatible System Interface
1.7.3 Bar Code Recognition System

The bar code recognition system uses a bar code or data matrix label mounted on the workpiece to select
the appropriate coating program or sequence. The scanner reads the label, selects the associated program
or sequence within the EasyCoat software and then executes the program or sequence.
1.7.4 Light Beacon

The light beacon displays system status and is located at the top right corner of the system. It has four
different colored lights that can be constantly ON or flashing and has an audible alarm. Refer to
2.16 Light Beacon for an explanation of each color indication.
1.7.5 Board Present Sensor

The board present sensor, mounted on the robot, registers the presence or absence of a workpiece prior to
dispensing. It initiates the coating sequence only when a workpiece is in place. The board present sensor
is ideal for production environments where carriers are manually loaded. If a carrier is not fully loaded,
the system will detect the empty space and not dispense at that location.
1.7.6 Brush Box

The brush box mounts to the conveyor and is used to clean the dispensing nozzle. The brush box performs
best with solvent-based materials but can also be used with non-solvent-based fluids. At programmed
intervals, the nozzle tip moves back and forth in the solvent against the bristles to remove accumulated
material.
1.7.7 Conveyor
The conveyor transports the workpiece into and out of the coating system. Operation of the conveyor is
automatic during production runs. The conveyor features two board pinning clamps that locate the
workpiece in terms of X/Y location and rotation. The system can be configured with an optional pre-
queue and post-queue board stations that allows simultaneous moving of workpieces in and out of the
work area.

1.7.8 Dual Simultaneous Applicator Capability

The dual simultaneous mounting bracket, mounted on the robot, doubles dispensing capability by
accommodating two identical applicators side by side for simultaneous dispensing of a single fluid. The
two applicators are controlled independently by EasyCoat. The system is configured for your specific
application.
1.7.9 Dual Toggle Applicator Capability

The dual toggle mounting bracket, mounted on the robot, typically uses an SC-300/SC-350, SC-105, or
SC-205 Film Coater plus a needle type dispensing valve (such as Nordson ASYMTEK’s SC-400, DV-03,
DV-05, or DV-09) to separately coat broad areas of the board, as well as areas requiring smaller amounts
of coating material. The system is configured for your specific application.
1.7.10 Electronic Pressure (E/P) Regulator

The electronic pressure regulator controls the fluid pressure through the EasyCoat software to ensure
optimal performance. The E/P regulator is required for heated fluid systems and fan width control.
1.7.11 Fluid Filter

The fluid filter strains out particles that may clog the fluid system.
1.7.12 Fluid Regulator

The fluid regulator is inserted directly into the fluid line to improve the response time when changing the
fluid pressure.
1.7.13 In-Cell Inverter

The In-Cell Inverter rotates the product to enable the coating of the second side. In-Cell Inverters are
available for both single and dual lane conveyors.
1.7.14 Laser Fan Width Control System

Laser fan width control provides closed-loop monitoring of the conformal coating process. The system
automatically verifies and adjusts the fan width prior to and/or after the coating operation. Fan width
programming is done through the EasyCoat software.
1.7.15 Laser Pointer Programming Tool

The laser pointer programming tool projects a red dot onto the workpiece, which simulates the center
point of the dispensing module for faster identification of coating begin and end points. The EasyCoat
software automatically compensates for the offset of the laser pointer-to-dispense-module centerline. The
laser pointer programming tool is factory configured at the time of system manufacture and reduces
programming time for faster production ramps.
1.7.16 Low Air Pressure Sensor

The low air pressure sensor is connected to the main air inlet. If the pressure drops below a set point, it
triggers the coating system safety interlock. This feature is used to alert the operator of pressure drop
conditions that may occur in large facilities with several pneumatic devices.

1.7.17 Low Fluid Sensor (for external reservoir)

The low fluid sensor triggers a light beacon display and software warning message when the level of
coating material is low. The sensor can be set to a level that provides ample time to refill the reservoir
before reaching an out-of-material condition. The low fluid sensor is located within the external reservoir
and is used for fluids that allow direct sensor immersion.
1.7.18 Low Fluid Scale

The low fluid scale detects a low fluid condition by weighing the fluid reservoir. If the weight drops
below a preset value, a sensor triggers the light beacon display and the software issues a warning
message. The sensor can be set to a level that provides ample time to refill the reservoir before reaching
an out-of-material condition. The low fluid scale is used for fluids where direct contact with the sensor is
not feasible.
1.7.19 Low Solvent Cup Sensor

The low solvent cup sensor triggers a light beacon display and software warning message when the level
of solvent in the cup is low. The software timer can be set to a level that provides ample time to refill the
cup before reaching an out-of-solvent condition.
1.7.20 Material Change Over System

This option allows you to manually switch air and fluid lines between two reservoirs and the fluid system
without physically disconnecting fittings and hoses. The material change over system consists of tubing,
manually operated valves, controls, an extra reservoir, and all the fittings required for self-contained
material change over. The system allows you to switch from the use of coating material to solvent for
flushing the fluid lines and coating applicator during extended shutdown.
1.7.21 Pre-Queue and Post-Queue Board Stations

The pre-queue and post-queue board stations allows simultaneous moving of workpieces in and out of the
work area.
1.7.22 Qadence Flow Control

The Qadence closed loop flow control product measures a volumetric rate of conformal coating material
dispensed on a printed circuit board and will adjust fluid pressure to keep the volume per product within
specification limits.
1.7.23 Safety Interlock

An interlock sensor detects if the dispensing area hood is open or closed. If the dispensing area hood is
opened when a program is running, all dispensing motion stops to protect the operator from injury. A
second interlock sensor is located behind the spill pan to ensure an appropriate ventilation path when the
drawer is pulled out for maintenance.
1.7.24 Solvent Cups

The SL-940 has two 125 ml stainless steel cups that are installed on separate brackets mounted to the

air exhaust system for the system to operate. Refer to 3.12 Connecting Power and Air Supply.
1.8 Vision System

The vision system includes a digital camera, light source, and a laptop computer. It allows the
programmer to teach dispensing locations on the substrate using the EasyCoat software. The programmer
views a live image of the camera’s target and uses the graphical user interface to create the coating
sequence.
1.8.1 Teach Camera

The vision system with teach camera is the optimal on-line programming tool when using an actual part
and makes teaching easier and more accurate. It enables quick and precise programming by simulating the
position of the installed applicators.
1.8.2 Fiducial Find Camera

The SL-940 vision system with fiducial find camera and pattern recognition system locates fiducial or
skip marks based on taught reference. It automatically corrects workpiece misalignment and process
dependencies.
1.9 Fluid Systems

Depending on system configuration, the following coating applicators are available:
• SC-104/105HS Film Coater

• SC-204/205 HS Non-Circulating Film Coater
• SC-280C
• SC-280N
• SC-300/SC-350 Swirl Coat™ Applicator
• SC-400 Precise Coat Conformal Coating Jet
• SC-400VCS
• SC-400 Dual Simultaneous

1.9.1 SC-104HS/SC-105HS Circulating Film Coater

The SC-104HS (4-axis) and SC-105HS (5-axis) apply coatings in a film rather than in an atomized spray
produced by conventional airless spray guns. The SC-104HS consists of an air actuated assembly that
rotates the nozzle from 0-90 degrees. The SC-105HS consists of an air actuated assembly that rotates the
nozzle in 90-degree increments. In addition, the SC-105HS has an air-activated tilt assembly, which
allows the nozzle to be tilted from vertical to 30 degrees from vertical.
1.9.2 SC-204HS/SC-205HS Non-Circulating Film Coater

The SC-204HS (4-axis) and SC-205HS (5-axis) film coaters are used to apply materials that do not
require heating and therefore do not require circulation. The coaters are fitted with a rotating ring
mechanism that rotates the SC-204HS nozzle from 0-90 degrees and the SC-205HS nozzle in 90-degree
increments. In addition, the SC-205HS has an air-activated tilt assembly, which allows the nozzle to be
titled from vertical to 30 degrees from vertical.
1.9.3 SC-280N/SC-280C Non-Circulating/Circulating Film Coater

The Select Coat® Film Coaters SC-280N/SC-280C Non-Circulating/Circulating are designed for use with
low cavity, cross-cut nozzles. The SC-280N is used to apply materials that do not require heating and are
therefore not circulated. The SC-280C is required for materials that do require heating and are circulated.
The coaters are air-actuated and the piston and needle travel is dampened for precise pattern and film-
thickness control.
1.9.4 SC-300/SC-350 Swirl Coat Applicator

The SC-300/SC-350 Swirl Coat applicator offers three modes of operation: bead, monofilament, and
swirl. Ideal for conformal coating applications, the SC-300/SC-350 handles a wide range of materials,
varying in viscosity from 30 to 3500 mPa-sec (30 to 3500 centipoise). The SC-300/SC-350 is designed
for use with solvent-less coatings, supporting environmentally responsible practices. A four-position tilt
accessory is available to allow coating access to vertical sides of components.
1.9.5 SC-400 PreciseCoat Conformal Coating Jet

The SC-400 PreciseCoat Conformal Coating Jet is ideal for applying conformal coating materials to
highly selective areas. This solution is designed for coating small substrates or substrates with high
component density, and when there are tight tolerances between coated and uncoated areas. The
SC-400 jet reaches locations not accessible by other applicators, using a needle design with jetting action
and fast pulse-width modulated control.
1.9.6 Four Position Tilt Accessory
The optional four-position tilt accessory enables the SC-300/SC-350 and SC-400 applicators to coat four
sides of a part or other areas not accessible from the standard vertical approach.
1.9.7 Fifth Position 0-270° Rotate and Tilt Mechanism
The SC-280X Film Coater may be fitted with both a rotate pulley and an air-activated tilt assembly. The
tilt assembly allows the nozzle to be titled from 0-30 degrees.
1.9.8 Viscosity Control System

The Viscosity Control System (VCS) maintains consistent temperature of conformal coating fluids. The
system includes a coating applicator and a heated circulating fluid circuit to eliminate viscosity changes in
temperature-responsive materials. Close-range temperature monitoring keeps the coating process
consistent and stable. By controlling the temperature of the conformal coating fluid circuit, viscosity
fluctuations can be reduced. Additionally, emissions of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) may be
reduced, depending on the fluid properties, by reducing the amount of solvent required to thin the
conformal coating.

Companies may differ in their Lockout/Tagout (LOTO) procedures and requirements, and it is the
responsibility of the end user to determine compliance with local safety procedures. The purpose of any
LOTO effort is to help avoid injury or coating system damage due to unexpected energizing of
equipment, start up, or the release of stored energy during repair, maintenance, and operation of
equipment. Situations where LOTO practices may be employed on the SL-940 include:
• Adjusting cables, belts, pulleys, or moving parts
• Servicing bearings or motors
• Troubleshooting, servicing, or replacing electronic components or assemblies

Situations where LOTO practices might not be required are when troubleshooting electrical, pneumatic,
or hydraulic components or assemblies that make de-energizing the whole system impractical.
Troubleshooting or servicing the SL-940 while powered up and operating should only be accomplished
by fully trained and qualified personnel. There should always be a second person present when
performing maintenance on a system under power.

To lockout/tagout the electrical and pneumatic energy:

1. Turn the main power circuit breaker on the rear of the system to the OFF (0) position.
2. Unplug the main power cable from the back of the power manager.
3. Rotate the main air pressure knob counterclockwise until the gauge registers 0 psi and then
disconnect the main air supply by the quick release fitting.
4. Install an approved, keyed lock on the locking flange of the main circuit breaker so it cannot
be turned on and attach an approved tag.
 Ensure that the owner, date, reason, and estimated time for repair are clearly marked on
the tag.
5. Install an approved lockout clamp and keyed lock onto the power connector so it cannot be
reconnected to the power manager and attach an approved tag (Figure 2-10).
 Ensure that the owner, date, reason, and estimated time to repair are clearly marked on
the tag.
6. Install an approved lockout clamp and keyed lock onto the pneumatic fitting so it cannot be
reconnected to the main air regulator and attach an approved tag.
 Ensure the owner, date, reason, and estimated time to repair are clearly marked on the
tag (Figure 2-11).
 NOTE Warning tags document the name of the technician taking the equipment out of operation,
the date, and other facility-required information. It is a warning that the equipment cannot
be put back into operation until the authorized technician has removed the tag.

4.15 Running a Characterization

 NOTE A characterization must be performed for each tool and each coating material used or as
required to ensure quality and consistent dispensing.
Many variables, such as material type, temperature, viscosity, substrate type, robot velocities, and
dispenser response times affect the coating process. Characterization improves coating placement
accuracy, and repeatability. The Characterization Wizard helps you adjust program values to compensate
for these variables. The characterization process consists of defining the following values:
• On/Off Response Times
• Coating Height
• Coating Speed (Velocity)
• Coating Width
 NOTE All of these variables are interrelated. Make your selections based on the results you want
to achieve. Refer to the EasyCoat User Guide or Online Help or contact your Nordson
ASYMTEK representative for additional information.
The characterization automatically calculates dispensing ON and OFF times. Characterization
compensates for such variables as:
• Change in air pressure
• Fluid viscosity
• Coating applicator velocity

When you perform a characterization, the coating applicator will dispense three stripes of material. You
will then be prompted to select the best pass for both the start and end values. The values will be stored in
the robot controller. The coating applicator will then dispense three additional stripes of material. These
lines should correspond to the best pass previously selected. This is your characterization.
A characterization should be performed:
• When a new applicator is installed
• When using a new material
• When changing the applicator or material type
• Prior to a production run
 NOTE A characterization may be performed from both the Operator and Edit Screens. The
following steps describe how to perform a characterization from the Operator Screen.

is present, camera is removed or replaced, etc.) tool offsets should be redefined.
If a camera is not present, the XY offsets can be performed using a separate tool that has
already been configured.

5.6.3 Tool Z Offset

The tool Z offset feature allows the Z offset between multiple applicators to be taught and stored
electronically. When configuring a new machine, EasyCoat calibrates and stores the offset for each
configured tool from the default position to its toggled state. Running the tool Z offset procedure allows
the software to determine the Z offset between the tools.
If you are creating a new program and tool Z offsets have not been previously defined, you will be
prompted to teach the tool Z offset during the program creation process.
 NOTE Tool Z offsets only need to be defined once, after the applicator has been installed. If you
install an applicator that has not previously been configured, you will need to run the
EasyCoat reconfiguration procedure prior to running tool Z offsets.

5.7 Fixture Configuration

Fixture refers to the location at which products are physically constrained in the workcell. It consists of
both position (XYZ) coordinates and a corner constraint (Front Left, Front Right, Back Left, or Back
Right). On inline systems, the fixture is typically the combination of a clamp and a stop pin. On batch
systems, it is usually a fixed constraint.
5.7.1 Fixture Constraint Location

EasyCoat uses the fixture constraint coordinates and the length and width of the board or carrier to
determine the main pattern edit frame coordinates. The fixture constraint location is the corner of the
product that is always in the same location when the product is in the fixture (the repeatable corner)
(Figure 5-27). The part origin (0,0 XY location) is calculated with the length and width values relative to
the fixture.
Inline systems will typically use a front corner as the constraint location, because the fixed rail is located
at the front of the workcell. For example, if the conveyor movement (product flow) is from left to right,
and the fixed rail is the front rail, the constraint location is Front Right. If the conveyor movement
(product flow) is right to left, the constraint location is Front Left. The left/right position is dictated by
the location of the board stop relative to the board.
 NOTE The stop location does not indicate the constraint location. If the front rail is fixed and the
product flow is left-to-right, the constraint is Front Right, even if the stop is mounted on
the rear rail.
