Methods for applying an underfill with vacuum assistance. The method may include dispensing the underfill (30) onto a substrate (12) proximate to at least one exterior edge (18, 20, 22, 24) of an electronic device (14) attached to the substrate (12). A space (28) between the electronic device (14) and the substrate (12) is evacuated through at least one gap (27) in the underfill (30). The method further includes heating the underfill (30) to cause the underfill (30) to flow into the space (28). Because a vacuum condition is supplied in the open portion of the space (28) before flow is initiated, the incidence of underfill voiding is lowered.

A selectively configurable spray gun may include a gun body comprising a selectable forward section and a rearward section. The rearward section may be connected with either of two or more selectable forward sections so as to selectively configure the spray gun to operate either with a dense phase powder supply configuration or a with dilute phase powder supply configuration. The rearward section may include a selectable powder flow path that is connectable at an inlet end to a source of dense phase powder and at an outlet end to a selectable spray nozzle in the selectable forward section that may optionally include a diffuser. An adapter may be used to connect the rearward section with a selectable spray nozzle or air cap. A manual spray gun embodiment is also presented. A selectively configurable spray gun for use with a dense phase powder supply may include a smaller diameter powder tube that extends through a larger diameter powder tube.

The invention relates to a closed loop fluid buffer (1, 136) for stabilizing an output pressure of a fluid supply system, in particular a bi-component mixing system (100). In particular, it is suggested that the buffer comprises a fluid cavity (10) having a fluid cavity volume and a fluid cavity wall, said fluid cavity (10) having an inlet (12, 138) and an outlet (14, 140), wherein said inlet (12, 138) is adapted to be in fluid communication with at least one fluid reservoir (118, 122) and said outlet (14, 140) is adapted to be in fluid communication with a dispensing applicator (102), wherein said fluid cavity wall comprises at least one flexible buffering portion (18) to allow a volume change of the fluid cavity volume. The invention further relates to systems having such a buffer such as a bi-component mixing system (100) comprising a closed loop fluid buffer (186) and bi-component mixing system (100) mounted on an x-y-mover (500) for movement with a dispenser, and to a method of dispensing a fluid.

An applicator (10) for dispensing a first viscous fluid includes a support structure (18), a cartridge (14) including a first wall (38) and a first interior space (42). The first interior space (42) receives a first collapsible tube (40) holding the first viscous fluid. The first collapsible tube (40) is formed from a flexible material and has a length with generally opposite sidewall portions defined along the length. The first collapsible tube is positioned against the first wall (38) and further includes a closed end (50) and a dispensing end (48). An actuator (20) is operatively coupled to the support structure (18) and moves through the interior space (42) of the cartridge (14) along the length of the collapsible tube and against one of the generally opposite sidewall portions to compress the one generally opposite sidewall portion against the other sidewall portion along the length and squeeze the viscous fluid from the dispensing end (48).

The invention provides a coextrusion feedblock. The feedblock has a flow adjuster comprising a plurality of independently rotatable adjustment segments. Actuators are coupled with respective adjustment segments of the flow adjuster, such that the segments can be rotated by operating the actuators. The invention also provides a coextrusion profiling insert assembly for mounting removably in a coextrusion feedblock.
摘要:
An adhesive dispensing system (10) is configured to automatically reduce the temperature of adhesive material to reduce degradation of the adhesive caused by holding the adhesive at an application temperature during periods of low throughput. To this end, a controller (28) of the system operates a heater unit (18) to maintain a unit set point temperature to heat and melt adhesive until a set threshold time has elapsed since the most recent supply of adhesive to the system by a fill system (26). Once the time elapsed since the most recent supply of adhesive exceeds the set threshold time, the heater unit is reduced in temperature to reduce the temperature of adhesive. This reduction is temperature is large enough to minimize degradation and outgassing but small enough to enable rapid warm-up times after a new supply of adhesive occurs.

A spray nozzle assembly is provided with an electrode, a wear resistant member, and a compliant sleeve. The wear resistant member supports the electrode and is supported by the compliant sleeve. For coating operations that use abrasive powder such as porcelain enamel, the wear resistant member may comprise ceramic. The compliant sleeve may be made of an elastic material such as plastic, which allows one end of the compliant sleeve to receive an end of a glass powder tube. The wear resistant member may be in the form of a ceramic spider. The electrode may be installed in-line with a powder flow path defined by the powder tube, which extends through a spray gun body.
摘要:
A cartridge suitable for use in a bond testing machine, the cartridge comprising: a plurality of a different test tools; a rotary mechanism, each of the plurality of different test tools mounted to the rotary mechanism angularly spaced from one another; a drive unit, coupled to the rotary mechanism, the drive unit configured to rotate the rotary mechanism to move each of the plurality of different test tools to and from a use position; and an air interface for receiving compressed air from a corresponding air interface on a positioning assembly of the bond testing machine. The bond test machine receives feedback regarding which tool is in the use position, and in response switches a compressed air supply on or off as appropriate to suit the test tool in use. The cartridge preferably includes an improved Geneva mechanism that locks the test tools in their desired rotational positions. The cartridge also preferably includes a mounting plate for the test tools that has identical test tool connection areas so that any test tool can be connected to any tool connection area. Providing a plurality of test tools that can be selectively moved to a use position within a single cartridge allows an operator to change tools without having to demount and remount different test tool cartridges when a different test tool is required. This improves the ease of operation and saves the operator time. Novel methods for use of the cartridge are also described.
摘要:
Overspray collection apparatus comprises an extraction duct (54) between two sloped floors (50, 52) with unobstructed inlet slots (88, 90) on either side thereof. The extraction duct (54) comprises two moveable panels (56, 58) pivotally mounted to the sloped floors (50, 52). Each moveable panel (56, 58) pivots about an axis that is offset from a lower portion of the moveable panel and a lower portion of the sloped floor. In another embodiment, the pivotal mount comprises an offset hinge. The overspray extraction duct (54) comprises a duct floor (60) and an air diffuser assembly (100) that extends at least partially across the duct floor. The air diffuser assembly (100) receives pressurized air and directs pressurized air into the extraction duct (54), whereby the pressurized air may be pulsed. The overspray extraction duct (54) comprises a suction hood (62) that includes moveable panels (56, 58). Optional actuators may apply a force impulse to one or more of the moveable panels (56, 58), and/or to open and close the suction hood (62) automatically.
