Area Fill Encapsulation
Area Fill dispensing is used to encapsulate a part on a board. It is important for the fluid to
cover the part completely without voids. The process by which the fluid is dispensed should
be fine-tuned for best results.
Area Fills can also be dispensed using Weight Control. In that case, a defined weight of fluid
is dispensed in the Area Fill. If Weight Control is not used, the Line Parameters for the
selected Line Type are used.
In this exercise you will learn how to program and dispense a simple Area Fill.
