What is Conformal Coating?

Conformal coating is a thin protective layer applied on the surface of PCBA to shield them from environmental influences such as moisture, dust and corrosion. This coating is typically applied using an automatic selective coating machine, which ensures high precision and repeatability.

Work Process of the JCURE+ Series IR Oven

An infrared curing oven uses IR radiation to precisely apply heat to the coated surfaces of the PCBAs. This technology is ideal for drying and curing processes, as it efficiently removes moisture and helps conformal coatings achieve their intended physical and chemical properties.

Benefits of Infrared Technology:

  • Precise Temperature Control: Prevents damage to sensitive electronic components.

  • Fast Curing: Significantly reduces processing time.

  • Energy Efficiency: Saves energy and lowers operating costs.

  • Uniform Heat Distribution: Ensures consistent results without material deformation.

Why the jCURE+ Series Infrared Curing Oven Is the Smarter Choice for Your Conformal Coating Line

  • Continuous Conveyor Process: The IR oven supports uninterrupted material flow, as the conveyor inside the oven does not stop.

  • Reliable performance on dense PCBAs: IR heat cures coatings in areas beyond UV light’s reach.

  • Larger Processing Area: Infrared ovens offer longer heating zones that can accommodate larger or multiple boards at once.

  • Gentle Temperature Profile: IR curing ensures a controlled heating process without direct UV exposure, making it ideal for sensitive components and delicate materials.

  • Superior for Thick Coatings: IR curing is more effective for thicker layers, as the heat penetrates deeper into the material for uniform and thorough curing.
