Finishing System Options / Components

	System Option / Component:
	Your choices are...
	Applicator / Dispenser		The gun or applicator directs a stream of coating onto the spinning substrate.
	Feeding / Metering Unit		Distribution or dispensing units that are used to control the rate that the coating media is fed into the applicator from the paint source. The component may consist of a valve, valve stack or manifold or electromechanical feeding system. Depending on the coating technology, the coating media may be in the form of powder, wire or liquid paint. Plural component coating systems have feeders or fluid handling components that will meter, mix and control the ratio of two or more different components.
	Oven / UV Curing Unit		Integral or optional ovens, dryers, infrared heaters, immersion heaters or other heating components for drying off or pre-heating part surfaces before coating, curing coatings or thermally reduce liquid resin viscosity. Thermal heating or curing systems can use infrared, RF, combustion, induction or resistance heating technologies.
	Pump / Compressor		The pump, compressor or pressure generator increases the pressure of the carrier fluid or propellant (typically air) or directly pressurizes and moves the paint or liquid coating.
	Reciprocator / Robotic Arm		Reciprocators, oscillators, and robotic arms can uniformly paint or coat a surface by scanning a surface in a controlled and repeatable fashion.  Coating or spraying equipment mounted on crawlers or robotic arms may also find use in hazardous situations such as in containment of toxic materials, extreme environmental conditions or in hard to reach places (tower, tank walls, ship hulls, etc.) with associated fall hazards.  Reciprocators and robotic arms are also used in dip coating processes to immerse and withdraw the part from the dip tank.
	Specialty / Other		Other unlisted, specialized, or proprietary component.

Features

	Features
	Your choices are...
	Cleanroom / Critical Coating (PCBs / Wafers)		Machines used to coat surfaces of critical parts such as wafers, storage discs, or other electronic components, biotechnology devices, or pharmaceutical equipment parts. The smallest amount of remaining contaminants on the surface can result in a defect, causing the scrapping of the products. Equipment designed to deposit coatings for electronic components applications such as printed circuit board (PCB, PWB), flexible circuits, silicon wafers, semiconductors or IC chips, IC packages and reel-to-reel connectors or lead frames.  For example, the equipment may apply a dielectric conformal coating to insulate and protect the PCB or flexible circuit. Other PCB coating equipment can selectively apply conductive metal pastes or solders to form circuitry or aid in forming soldered connections. Thick film and thin film circuits are also formed using coating techniques.  For example, the equipment may apply a photoresist resins as part of the photolithography process.  Spin coaters are typically used to apply photoresist. Dopants (SOG type) and dielectric layers are often applied to wafers using spin coating techniques. Other PCB coating equipment can selectively apply conductive metal pastes or solders to form circuitry or aid in forming soldered connections.  Wafer level metallization and thin film circuits or interconnect are also formed using PVD, CVD, and ECD coating techniques.
	Integral Agitator		Product supplied with or has the option for an integral agitator or mixer to maintain the quality of the liquid coating or paint.
	Integral Heater		The product has an integral heater or can be attached to one. Heating the medium allows for improved quality and maintained viscosity.
	Integral Regulator		Gun, pressure pot, or tank supplied with or with the option for an integral regulator to maintain the required pressure within the liquid coating or paint, and/or pressurizing air.
	Plural Components / Catalyst Injector		System is capable of deposition plural or multi-component materials or coating systems such as A+B paints or resins requiring injection of a catalyst or hardening agent.  Plural component coating systems have feeders that will meter, mix, and control the ratio of two or more different components.
	Gravity Feed		The paint, fluid, or coating powders are fed into the gun or applicator by gravity.
	Pressure Feed		The tank, pressure pot, spray cup or vessel is pressurized using compressed air or gas. The pressurized air, liquid or gas in the vessel pushes the coating material from the vessel into the gun.
