ASYMTEK Elevates the Excellence of Electronics with Advanced Dispensing, Coating, and Software Solutions at IPC APEX EXPO
January 23, 2020 | Nordson ASYMTEKEstimated reading time: 3 minutes
ASYMTEK, a part of Nordson ELECTRONICS SOLUTIONS—a global leader in electronics manufacturing technologies, brings its latest fluid dispensing and conformal coating solutions to IPC APEX EXPO, San Diego, CA, in booth 1611. New at IPC APEX EXPO is the ASYMTEK Vortik™ family of progressive cavity pumps (PCP), with the smallest depositions possible on the market today. The VPs, VPm, and VPg pumps rely on positive displacement to provide continuous needle dispensing of one- and two-component fluids with high-volumetric accuracy, increased reliability, and reduced cycle time. At 0.2 microliters per second, the Vortik VPs offers the lowest flowrate and smallest depositions possible across all PCP pumps available in the market today—delivering precise control of narrow lines and small shots for two-component mixed fluids.
Another ASYMTEK first at IPC APEX EXPO is Vortik's Advanced Calibration Assist with patent-pending ARC™ Technology that ensures high volumetric dispense accuracy for one- and two-component applications. Software-based ARC Technology takes the guesswork out of application setup. With ARC Technology, you can quickly determine optimal settings, such as mix ratios, without manual calculations or time-consuming test iterations.
Also shown for the first time in the USA is the ASYMTEK Qadence™ Closed-Loop Flow Control System in ASYMTEK EasyCoat® 6 software. The Qadence system maintains a stable flow rate by volume for high-quality conformal coating results by automatically compensating for viscosity changes related to temperature, humidity, and batch-to-batch variation. The Qadence system lets you quickly calculate a target flow rate and set process limits with an EasyCoat control routine called the Flow Calculator (patent pending). With the Flow Calculator, a typical 1-hour setup can be completed in 30 minutes and a 30-minute setup in less than 10 minutes.
On display will be the ASYMTEK Panorama™ C-Line for advanced process control in conformal coating. Panorama C-Line components fit seamlessly together to deliver a complete, turnkey solution for coating and curing, with closed-loop controls and data to fuel continuous process improvement. The C-Line will feature a fully integrated ASYMTEK Select Coat® SL-940 with a triple-valve configuration and an ASYMTEK FX-940 Automated Coating Inspection system. Visit the booth to experience a 360° virtual reality tour trip of the Panorama conformal coating line.
Additional products on display will include:
The ASYMTEK Forte™ Series dispensing platform with Forte MAX™ dual-head, real-time skew correction. The new precision dispensing platform includes a dual-simultaneous dispense head with two high-frequency ASYMTEK IntelliJet® Jetting Systems that dispense at the same time to further boost UPH and quality outcomes. The system reduces dispense time by half and automatically adjusts for workpiece and individual component rotational skew.
The ASYMTEK Quantum® in-line and batch system which delivers uncompromising quality, value, and productivity for demanding fluid dispensing applications. The system will feature the Vortik VPm progressive cavity pump for bonding, sealing, encapsulation, and potting applications.
The ASYMTEK Helios® SD-960 Series featuring a two-component thermal interface material application and a new dual-drawer configuration that's ideal for batch manufacturing. Dual drawers allow the first substrate to be dispensed while a second is loaded.
The DIMA C-Turn Flux automates flux dispensing in combination with automated hot bar reflow soldering. It is the ideal solution for LCD solder attach, wire solder attach, and connector and component solder attach applications.

06/26/2025 | Team NCAB -- Column: Fresh PCB ConceptsMicro components have redefined what is possible in PCB design. With package sizes like 01005 and 0201 becoming more common in high-density layouts, designers are now expected to pack more performance into smaller spaces than ever before. While these advancements support miniaturization and functionality, they introduce new assembly challenges, particularly with traditional solder mask and legend application processes.
Knocking Down the Bone Pile: Tin Whisker Mitigation in Aerospace Applications, Part 3
06/25/2025 | Nash Bell -- Column: Knocking Down the Bone PileTin whiskers are slender, hair-like metallic growths that can develop on the surface of tin-plated electronic components. Typically measuring a few micrometers in diameter and growing several millimeters in length, they form through an electrochemical process influenced by environmental factors such as temperature variations, mechanical or compressive stress, and the aging of solder alloys.
