Applications

Close up of 3D Printing

3D Printing

3D printing or additive manufacturing is the process of making a solid object from a three-dimensional digital file. This object is created by laying down many thin layers of a material in succession.

Details
Close up of Bonding

Bonding

The application of a liquid adhesive to join two surfaces, such as metal, plastic, glass, rubber, or ceramic, together which forms a complete bond and transfers forces between the substrates.

Details
Close up of Conformal Coating

Conformal Coating

The application of a protective film or layer of liquid onto a PCB, either in selected areas or over the entire assembly. Conformal coatings are applied using an array of technologies such as atomized spray, airless film, needle dispense and jetting.

Details
Close up of Dam and Fill Application Shot

Dam & Fill

A two-step process of first dispensing a high viscosity fluid around the perimeter of a device or electronic circuitry, and then dispensing a low viscosity fluid within the perimeter to fully encase the components. The dam can be applied as a single or multi-layer bead depending on the target fill height required.

Details
Micro Dispense Nozzles Application Shot

Dispensing

Dispensing can extend across numerous industries and applications that require dosing in an accurate and controlled manner.  PVA's award winning valves and pumps are available to dispense a broad spectrum of chemistries to meet the requirements of your most demanding applications.

Details
Close up of Encapsulation Application Shot

Encapsulation & Glob Top

Applying an epoxy or silicone-based fluid that completely covers a defined area around a flip chip or wire bonded component. This provides mechanical shock and vibration stability, as well as environmental protection from moisture and foreign objects.

Details
Close up of Gasketing Application Shot

Gasketing

Also known as "form-in-place gasketing," this application dispenses one or two-part liquids into a groove or onto a flange that will cure to form a seal against liquids and gases. This automated process eliminates the task of assembling a die cut or pre-made gasket. Additionally, geometries can easily be modified for other designs.

Details
Close up of Optical Bonding

Optical Bonding

The process of applying an optically clear liquid to a digital display, such as LCD or plasma, to bond a cover glass and/or touch sensor to eliminate the air gap between each layer. This provides improved image clarity, especially in outdoor or bright light environments, improved resistance to shock and vibration, and additional protection against dust and moisture.

Details
Close up of Potting Application Shot

Potting

The process of filling an enclosure that holds electronic circuitry, with a liquid that when cured completely encases the unit. This provides mechanical stability during shock and vibration as well as environmental protection from moisture and foreign objects.

Details
Close up of Solder Paste Application Shot

Surface Mount Adhesive / Solder Paste

Surface Mount Adhesive (SMA), solder paste, and filled epoxies require accurate deposits to adhere SMT components to a PCB surface.  Consistent dot or bead profiles are critical for bonding a broad range of components with a growing emphasis on miniaturization that is achievable with jetting valves or auger pumps.

Details
TIM Application Shot

Thermal Interface Materials

A thermal interface material ("TIM") fills gaps between mating surfaces with a substance that improves thermal conductivity beyond the air that would have otherwise filled that gap. The TIM acts as a conductive bridge that greatly improves heat transfer between between a heat-generating device (e.g. an integrated circuit) and a heat-dissipating device (e.g. a heat sink).

Details
Underfill Application Shot

Underfill

The application of a fluid along one or more edges of an electronic component, such as a flip chip or BGA type package, that flows underneath using capillary action. Underfill is used to prevent thermal mismatch between the component and the substrate, prevent moisture penetration, and to provide mechanical stability during shock and vibration.
