PVA's New Delta 6 Coating / Dispensing System Makes Its
European Debut at SMT Hybrid Packaging 2014
Cohoes, NY – April 2014 – Global manufacturer and supplier of conformal coating and
precision dispensing systems, PVA (Precision Valve & Automation, Inc.) will be
showcasing two different applications at SMT Hybrid Packaging 2014. First, PVA will be
partnering with local representative Werner Wirth GmbH, in booth 6-434, for the
European launch of the most significant new entry to their coating and dispensing
product line since 2006.
The new Delta 6 Conformal Coating and Dispensing System reimagines PVA workcells.
While maintaining their signature flexibility, capabilities and work area size, the Delta 6
has been designed with improvements in footprint, robustness, accessibility and
aesthetics.
The first upgrade is a slimmer silhouette as the width of DELTA 6 is just under 4 inches
less than its predecessor without losing any work area space. Also significant is the line
length. The smaller footprint saves valuable space on the plant floor. Additionally, the
system was designed with an increase in the useable work envelope, which can now
accommodate a larger head for heavier tools. The robustness of the system has also
been enhanced with improved structural and gantry rigidity. The Z-axis has also been
upsized for additional rigidity.
Improvements have also been made to machine accessibility and ease of use including a
new easy lift door that can be effortlessly opened by operators and a keyboard,
appropriate for sitting or standing operation, that stores in the unit keeping it out of the
way when not in use.
Integrated consumable storage means needles, small tools, etc., are always on hand
when needed. Access to electrical, pneumatics, integrated fluid delivery and a new pull
out drawer, is easy via a single door in the front.
The Delta 6 is constructed with enhanced aesthetics for a clean look on the plant floor
including fluid delivery components that have been integrated into the footprint and
moving all connections to the top to keep them out of the way.
The conundrum we've found is that customers want robust systems that can do more,
but take up less space. The Delta 6 Coating and Dispensing System address this concern
while providing the same work area and capabilities in a more robust system. To signify
the importance of the new system, PVA has taken a departure from the traditional
letter/number nomenclature, choosing Delta, including the symbol „∆“, to represent the
new systems and symbolize difference/change."
Experts from PVA and Werner Wirth will be on hand to answer any questions on the
Delta6 or general coating and dispensing questions. Visit us in hall 6 stand 434!

PVA Precision Valve & Automation / Werner Wirth GmbH
High-precision platform for selective protective coating and dispensing
PVA is the global manufacturer and supplier of Conformal Coating and other precision
Dispensing and Optical Bonding Systems. As the sales partner of PVA for Germany and
Switzerland, Werner Wirth is a first stop for manufacturers from all segments of
electronics.
The PVA Dispense & Coating systems for selective protective coating, casting, beading
and dispensing opens the advantages of flexible process automation to users. Coatings
are applied in up to four programmable axes with the utmost flexibility and reliability.
Multi-dimensional layers, 3D forms and rotations up to 360° can be scanned at high
traverse speeds and used to obtain precise results.
The variety of applications in the PVA platform is persuasive: They can be used for 1component or 2-component media, solder pastes, bond adhesive, cyanoacrylate and
many other media. The basic system is equipped with brushless DC electric actuators,
precision rotary spindles and optical encoders on all axes. The positioning repeatability
accuracy is 0.025 mm at a resolution of 0.005 mm.
The axes execute application-specific control of the metering, spray and curtain valves.
The versatile range of products also includes an innovative new dispensing valve.
The JDX Jet Dispense Valve is an extremely fast, non-contact jet dispenser that precisely
dispenses viscosities up to 400,000 cps. With the JDX, even difficult to work with fluids
can be precisely dispensed in volumes as small as 10 nanoliters (nl).
In addition, it can
apply multiple drops-per-location at a speed up to 300 drops/sec. The drops can be dispensed
into areas with clearance as small as 300µm. The JDX offers unparalleled repeatability, and
with no z-axis movement to slow the valve down, it can move swiftly and easily to jet into
even awkward, hard to reach areas. Many of the benefits of this valve are tied to its unique
diaphragm design that allows fast cycle rates due to its very small mass. This distinctive
design features a single, easily replaceable diaphragm that eliminates the dynamic fluid seals,
common in other jets, and the need to remove the jet from the robot, clean and replace worn
seals. The JDX dispenses a wide range of fluids such as underfill, coatings, adhesives, epoxies
and lubricants for micro coating, medical device, LED assembly, underfill and die bonding.
When precision matters, manufacturers around the globe rely on PVA's conformal coating
systems, fluid dispensing solutions and custom automation products. For 20 years, PVA
has been making manufacturing easier with customer driven solutions used in industries
ranging from solar, semiconductor packaging, printed circuit board assembly, medical
device manufacturing, and consumer electronics. From benchtop equipment, to inline
conveyor systems, we evaluate each opportunity independently, and without limitation,
to ensure you make the most reliable product possible.
The models in the PVA product range include table devices and a fully automated product
line. Modules such as turning stations, transport systems, inspection stations, IR dryers
and UV dryers can be combined with the coating module. Customer specific solutions are
individually designed, making the PVA coating/dispensing system suitable for just about
all applications.
Headquartered in Upstate New York, with regional sites stationed throughout North
America, Europe, and Asia, all PVA Systems are backed by a 24-hour global service
network, including regionally trained technicians for fast response times.

Werner Wirth GmbH – PROJECT – CONNECT - PROTECT
WERNER WIRTH is one of the think tanks of the electronic industry. For more than 40 years, the
company has been providing solutions for a branch that grows ever faster and where the parts
shrink all the time. WERNER WIRTH has been the only company in the branch for decades to
specialise in both connection technology and component protection. While this is simply company
tradition, it does create undreamt of synergy effects. It means the competent planning and
development team can offer integrated solutions that generate completely new approaches while
facilitating innovative, future-oriented products and frequently helping to cut the costs at the
same time. This perfect interaction between planning & development, connection technology and
the whole component protection portfolio finds its expression in the new claim: PROJECT –
CONNECT – PROTECT
Component protection with the TM2300 hotmelt moulding system
Electronics are practically omnipresent today - even in places that are not really suitable. The
delicate electronic modules and components thus have to be given successful, durable protection
from ambient influences. As well as offering protection from ambient influences, component
protection is also designed to support as well as protect. It can act as substitute housing or as
copy protection. We offer suitable materials for successful, durable component protection. Lowviscosity thermoplastic materials with a maximum processing temperature of 250°C are ideal.
Hotmelt moulding - the shaping process with low pressure technology - will be demonstrated live
at the SMT 2014 with the highly flexible modular TM 2300 hotmelt moulding system.
Thanks to its modular structure, the hotmelt moulding system is hard to beat in terms of
versatility, maintainability, flexibility and effectiveness. In the production building, the machine
only needs the floor space of a Euro pallet. The cross-table version also enhances the TM2300's
productivity. While moulding is in progress, one of the sub-moulds can be prepared for the next
cycle. As well as horizontal injection, vertical resin injection is also possible if dictated by module
geometry. Here the machine has 2 moulding heads, horizontal and also vertical. The large
working range can process almost all usual mould sizes. Werner Wirth offers a range of material
feed solutions including tank units, drum melters or extruders.
TM1010 moulding head
The TM1010 moulding head is a modular valve system for use in hotmelt moulding or dispensing
systems. It is equipped with a wide range of different nozzles depending on the application, with
varying lengths and diameters. The valve is pneumatically controlled and completely heated.
Thermal insulation to the mounting base ensures continuous temperature distribution in the
moulding head.
It has an integrated date and stamp feature for traceability. The moulding head is also easy to
mount or dismantle. It is universal in terms of material and machine type and can also be
adapted to other inline systems.
Extruders for optimum material feed
At the SMT, material feed to the hotmelt moulding system is provided by a TM1500 extruder. The
extruder's advantages consist in its ability to process many different materials; it also permits
targeted melt-on-demand without unnecessary heating phases. Many hotmelts change their
properties already after ten to sixteen hours, which can easily result in changes in the structure
of these materials. In contrast to a tank solution, the material in the extruder hopper is stored
predried at room temperature and provided ready for processing. This ensures the material is not
subjected to any thermal load, particularly during storage.
Extruders are also ideal for processing other materials in addition to hotmelts, such as polyester,
EVA, polyolefine and polyamide. The lack of thermal load on the materials in the storage
container means that coloured materials in particular can also be processed in the extruder,
without any detrimental effect on colour brilliance and material quality.
Werner Wirth is a global partner. We maintain a well functioning global network. Your applications
can be discussed and tested under practical conditions in our demonstration and technology
centre in Hamburg. Here our experts demonstrate the use of various hotmelt moulding,
dispensing and coating systems and also look at a wide range of different materials.
