铸塑树脂的高精度涂胶

专门开发的铸塑树脂可保护电子元件免受灰尘和湿气的影响。要有效地涂抹这种材料，需要高度发展的工程技术，因为需要在极其狭小的空间中进行复杂的弯曲运动。不仅如此，所需的动作也不断变化，这是因为电子行业的生产批次通常很小。这意味着必须快速、轻松且经济地重新配置机器。

此类微型涂胶系统由位于德国西南部 Weikersheim 的 bdtronic GmbH 提供，bdtronic GmbH 是世界领先的提供商。该公司重视高度灵活性、最佳空间利用率以及绝对精度和过程可靠性，因此为其 "mini-dis" 产品选择了 Festo 的完整解决方案：以紧凑型工业机器人 YXMx 为核心。

Ready for action faster with standard products

Family-owned British company Harwin Plc specialises in high-performance plug connectors. The demands in this market are increasing just as quickly as miniaturisation is advancing. In the meantime, products have achieved pin spacing of just 1.25 mm but also have to withstand countless plugging operations, in some cases under extreme conditions. Harwin produces them in a great many variants.
The new production line for the Gecko series therefore needed to be flexible and offer the highest levels of reliability, precision, repetition accuracy and cost efficiency. The solution was a modular, scalable automation concept from Festo. The advantages include faster production lines, simplified commissioning and easy maintenance.

Benefits of standardisation and modularisation

The maths are simple: money saved during development, engineering and software programming will be reflected positively on your balance sheet. Furthermore, your purchasing department benefits from economies of scale. And you can offer your solutions more quickly and flexibly. Torsten Schulz, Head of Global Key Account Management, Electronics and Assembly industry segment, uses a sample calculation to show where the biggest potential savings can be made.

Your savings potential in black and white

Your success depends largely on the time and effort spent on design engineering and on the products you use. When you focus on standardised products and solutions, you can immediately boost your profit by 20% to 30%. This has also been demonstrated by a study of the industry in Germany by the VDMA.

Case studies

In practice

LED it be

Austrian plant engineering firm Vescon developed a solution for producing modern LED headlights for the Slovakian plant of well-known Tier 1 supplier. The focus was on efficient handling systems, the correct processing of time-critical production steps and end-to-end traceability. Specialists from Festo's Technical and Application Center, who were taking care of the turnkey handling systems, made up part of the team.

In practice

Test passed - compact precision

Mobile electronic devices are developed in highly automated processes. Yet their touchscreens and keys are generally still tested manually. PKC Electronics decided to go in a completely new direction with its Chameleon test platform. It offers automated, fast and reliable testing of mobile devices using different adapters. The mini planar surface gantry EXCM is completely in its element in this environment.

In practice

Flexible, yet standardised

Just as PCBs have successfully managed to pack an increasing amount of power into a smaller space, developers of plug connectors are working to accommodate more power and a higher contact density into smaller, lighter plug connectors. The family owned British manufacturer Harwin PLC relies on Festo automation to safeguard the quality and flexibility of its production using equipment such as the servo press kit YJKP and the compact handling system YXMx.
