Thin Film Conformal Coating

iCoat-6 Thin Film Conformal Coating Machine
with Closed Loop Fluid Heating

iCoat-6 Series


Thin Film Conformal Coating Machine

ANDA’s iCoat-6 is a XYZ gantry system designed specifically for thin film coating applications. This specialized coating system produces exceptional edge definition results without the overspray associated with atomized spray valves. Automatic recirculating closed loop fluid heating provides stable fluid pressure and constant temperature control to always ensure set fluid viscosity for maintaining the coating process, even during machine suspension.

  • Automatic coating detection mounted over conveyor exit or x-axis for verifying coating results
  • Laser width measurement control system for monitoring and verifying thin film spray width coating parameters
  • 90-degree rotation of the thin film spray direction using the IC-100L thin film valve
  • Standard valve configuration: Dual valves fixed width
