Nordson ASYMTEK introduced its upgraded EasyCoat 6 software for its Select Coat SL-940 conformal coating system. Key features include drag-and-drop graphical overlay programming, online and offline programming, and applicator tip tracking. The new look of the user interface includes updated iconography, new colour schemes, and a variety of customisable settings to personalise the programming environment.
Programming tasks for conformal coating processes are completed in an intuitive visual environment. This capability simplifies training and programming efforts and leads to increased production uptime. The completely redesigned Editor screen allows programmers to drag-and-drop, position and resize coating elements directly on an accurate product image while the Operator screen provides operators with a simplified view of the machine status and main control buttons.
Offline programming avoids production downtime and maximises productivity, ease of operation, and accuracy. Conformal coating instructions can be taught using a digital product image and later transferred to a production system when programming is complete.
The applicator tip tracking feature makes it possible to accurately detect the x, y and z location of the needle or nozzle tip when using rotate or tilt capabilities in an application. With this feature, the actual and graphically represented position of a coating element are one and the same.
EasyCoat 6 offers several customisation options. Users can define the colour of the coating pattern for a particular applicator, adjust the page layout, choose an overall theme for the interface, choose event monitor colours, select screen layout presets, customise a number of aspects related to the graphical image, and more.
