DIMA Dispense Technology, a division of the DIMA Group and Dipaul Technologies are proud to announce the successful installation of a complete selective conformal coating line at Piramida in St. Petersburg in Russia.
Piramida is mainly focussed on the military industry and uses different types of coating material to protect the electronics they produce. Highest quality, flexibility, being able to supply a full line and the most progressive coating machine have been the key reasons for Piramida to choose DIMA as a partner to automate their coating production. Another main reason was the ability to use the famous Russia polyuretane material UR-231.
Piramida was looking for a highly flexible selective conformal coating line. They have a wide variety of different boards to be coated and were looking for the possibility to use different types of coating material. Besides flexibility, high quality performance was an absolute necessity in order to guarantee the level of high quality products being produced. Another important selection criteria was the ability to receive local support for the line and the coating process, which is supported by Dipaul Technologies. During the selection criteria Piramida's technical engineers visited several companies to see all kind of coating machines in a production environment. The final decision to choose the DIMA coating line solution was based on the following aspects. The HC-200 has standard integrated process control by monitoring all available material and atomising air pressures to ensures repeatability and product quality. Furthermore the HC-200 has the ability to have a total amount of four different dispense and spray valves mounted in the machine. Also the possibility to use up to four different materials within one program. The solid mechanical construction and the best qualified software that enables full off-line preparation of boards was another major decision making argument. The standard integrated camera that can be used for fiducial alignment, but also for inspection was also beneficial compared to other suppliers. Finally the HC-200 is utilizing a 4 axis machine with rotating head that enables to dispense under any required angle with the dispense or spray valve pointed straight down or under an angle when the valves are being tilted. This Provides Piramida with a machine that can handle not only the boards they need to coat today, but also with the insurance that any new board that is being designed in the future can be coated on the DIMA HC-200.
