Delphi Mechatronics Systems, a world leader in mobile electronics,
transportation components and systems technology, has selected
Asymtek and Nordson's conformal coating systems to equip their
Foley, Alabama facility. Delphi manufactures automotive and
consumer electronics for such corporations as BMW, Ford, GM
and GE. Using the Asymtek Century® C-740
and Nordson Select Coat® systems
equipped with Easy Coat® for
Windows NT® (ECNT)
software, Delphi applies a wide range of conformal coatings,
including 100% solids UV curable polyurethane, 100% solids
moisture cure silicone and solvent-borne acrylics. According
to Delphi's Senior Process Engineer Lee Kibler, program creation
and debug time has been reduced from days to hours.
One of their Nordson machines has been in steady production
for approximately ten years. "Asymtek and Nordson are
an invaluable asset to Delphi's process development and enhancement
of our facility," says Kibler. The ECNT software reduces
the complexity of the conformal coating patterns, allowing
for more emphasis on the quality of the end product. Kibler
also states that the graphical interface greatly helps the
Process Engineer prevent skips, dry spots and thin coverage.
"ECNT has virtually eliminated operator error, equipment
damage and product damage due to selecting an incorrect program.
Our operators were fully up-to-speed on the new interface
in a couple of hours…They love the new software,"
he says.
Delphi was also impressed with the quality of Asymtek/Nordson's
technical support. "Thank you for being such a top notch
supplier of conformal coating equipment. The technical support
supplied by Tim Wammes (Nordson Ohio) has been outstanding,"
explains Kibler.
Delphi conducts its multi-national business operations through
various subsidiaries and has headquarters in Troy, Michigan,
USA, Paris, Tokyo, and Sao Paulo, Brazil. Their integrated
systems and modules are designed to help simplify vehicle
manufacturers' processes and meet the demands of today's hi-tech
vehicles.
