Dispensing, Coating, and Their Applications with Plasma Cleaning

Dispensing and coating processes are widely used in manufacturing, while plasma cleaning serves as a critical pre-treatment step, significantly enhancing their quality and reliability. Plasma cleaning creates an ideal substrate environment for dispensing and coating by activating surfaces, removing contaminants, and increasing surface energy.

Key Applications of Plasma Cleaning for Dispensing and Coating:

1.Improved Adhesion Strength and Reliability:



Problem: Substrate surfaces (e.g., plastic, metal, ceramic, glass) may have trace organic contaminants, oils, oxides, or release agents that hinder effective wetting and chemical bonding of adhesives/coatings. This leads to weak bonds, cold joints, coating delamination, and interfacial failure.

Plasma Action: High-energy particles in the plasma bombard the surface, effectively removing microscopic contaminants (organic and inorganic). Simultaneously, plasma activates the surface, introducing polar functional groups (e.g., hydroxyl, carboxyl, amino groups), significantly increasing surface energy.

The work of the glue potting machine mainly depends on air pressure control. Through the air pressure device, the glue is pressed out by pressure, and the size of the glue is controlled by the pump body. At the same time, the robotic arm is responsible for controlling the moving position of the glue discharge to achieve fully automated operation. This automated operation not only solves the problem of low labor efficiency, but also greatly improves the quality of production.

b.High-Efficiency Production: Dispensing speed can reach 5-6 seconds/cycle. The daily output of a single machine is equivalent to 4-6 workers, while reducing inconsistent glue dosage caused by human operation and improving connector sealing yield.

Common problems and solutions in the dispensing process : a must-read for efficient production

In precision manufacturing fields such as electronics, automotive, and medical, the stability of the dispensing process directly determines product quality. However, various problems inevitably arise during the dispensing process due to factors such as adhesive characteristics, operating procedures, and equipment maintenance. This article summarizes six common problems in the dispensing process and provides professional solutions based on the structural features and technological advantages of Second Intelligent dispensing machines , helping companies quickly troubleshoot and improve production efficiency.

1.Abnormal dispensing amount (too much/too little ) :

Problem description : Excessive glue dispensing volume ( the volume of glue output in a single dispensing operation ) causes glue to overflow and contaminate the product; insufficient glue dispensing volume results in weak adhesion and product malfunction.

Main reasons: improper pressure settings, incorrect dispensing time parameters, mismatch between needle selection and glue viscosity, and unstable back pressure of the glue supply system.

Solution :

● Parameter calibration: Adjust the dispensing pressure according to the viscosity of the adhesive (for example, the pressure needs to be increased for high-viscosity silicone), and simultaneously fine-tune the dispensing time. It is recommended to use the principle of “small amplitude multiple tests” to determine the optimal value.

Application of potting in the home appliances industry: Potting of Washing Machine Control Board / Computer Board?

The encapsulation of washing machine control boards (computer boards) is one of the most typical applications of automated potting machine, directly impacting the reliability, safety, and lifespan of the washing machine.

Below, I will elaborate on the application of Automatic Glue Potting Machine in the encapsulation of washing machine control boards from the perspectives of “why encapsulation is needed,” “what adhesive to use,” “how to perform encapsulation,” and “the benefits of encapsulation.”

Ι.Why is potting necessary for washing machine control boards? (Necessity) Washing machines operate in extremely harsh environments, posing multiple threats to the control board:


1.Water and moisture protection: The internal humidity of washing machines is extremely high, especially in top-loading washing machines. Condensation and accidental splashes can cause short circuits and component corrosion.

2.Corrosion protection: Detergents, fabric softeners, bleach, and other chemicals are corrosive; their vapors can corrode circuit boards and component leads.

3.Shock and loosening prevention: Washing machines generate severe vibrations during the spin-drying process. Prolonged vibration can lead to solder joint cracking and component loosening.

4.Heat dissipation and insulation:Power devices on the control board (such as SCRs) generate heat during operation. Potting compound helps dissipate heat and provides excellent electrical insulation, preventing high-voltage creepage.
