Glossary G-3
SC-300 Swirl Coat Applicator: A non-contact
coating applicator providing high-speed delivery and
exceptional volumetric control for various fluids.
Ideal for conformal coating applications, the SC-300
Swirl Coat applicator offers three modes of
operation: bead, monofilament, and swirl.
Select Cure UV-5 Cure Module: Asymtek's Select
Cure inline UV oven with modular design, ideal for
curing topside, bottom-side or both sides of PCBs in
a mid- to high-volume production environment.
Coating materials are cured using ultra-violet light.
Select Cure UV-6 Cure Module: Asymtek's Select
Cure inline UV oven with modular design, ideal for
topside curing in a mid- to high-volume production
environment. Coating materials are cured using ultra-
violet light.
SEMI: Semiconductor Equipment and Materials
International. An organization that defines protocols
for the semiconductor industry.
Service Shutdown: When all dispensing is stopped
and the dispensing system is made safe so that
servicing can be performed.
Service Technician: Trained personnel responsible
for performing advanced system servicing
procedures.
SMEMA: Surface Mount Equipment Manufacturers
Association. Established protocol for signal
communication between two or more different
systems.
Stepping: The Step feature allows you to step
through a program, one instruction at a time. Each
click on the Step button performs one instruction.
SVGA: Super Video Graphics Array. A video card
that produces high-quality color images at high
resolution.
Swirl Mode: Conformal coating applied in a conical,
swirling pattern. Available with either the SC-200 or
the SC-300 Applicator and Tri-Mode Swirl Box.
System Status LEDs: Located on the Control Panel,
the LED’s are color coded for each System Status
condition. The colors correspond with the colored
lights on the Light Beacon.
Tool: A tool consists of a dispenser and nozzle, with
an offset from the lower tooling pin of the robot to
the tip of the nozzle, and a list of I/O behaviors.
Tool Offset: The tool offset is the X, Y, and Z
distance from the Robot's lower tooling pin to the
tool tip (the end of the nozzle). Robot position is
calculated using the coordinates of the tooling pin
plus the offset.
Tooling Plate (C-741): The Tooling Plate secures the
workpiece for batch system operations.
Tri-Mode Swirl Box: A component of the SC-200
Slim Swirl Applicator, the Tri-Mode Swirl Box
regulates the air pressure to the fluid applicator. By
varying the fluid pressure, conformal coating
materials can be dispensed in a bead, monofilament,
or swirl pattern.
UV-Cure: Curing method that uses ultra-violet light
to cure (harden) coating materials.
VOC: Volatile Organic Compounds. (VOC's) are
organic chemicals that have a high vapor pressure
and easily form vapors at normal temperature and
pressure. VOC content expresses the amount of
volatile material in a sample, either in pounds per
gallon, grams per liter, or as a percentage by mass.
Workcell: Dispensing area.
Workpiece: The board or substrate (PCB, PWA,
etc.) or a carrier (pallet, auer boat, lead frame, etc.) to
be dispensed upon.
X-Axis: Left to right movement of the Robot in the
dispensing area (Workcell).
X-Beam: The apparatus that spans the width of the
dispensing chamber. The Robot is mounted to the X-
Beam and slides along it in the X-Axis. Includes
mechanical pulleys for the X-Axis cables.
Y-Axis: Forward and backward movement of the
Dispensing Head in the dispensing area (Workcell).
Z-Axis: Up and down movement of the Dispensing
Head in the dispensing area (Workcell).
