Global manufacturer and supplier of conformal coating and precision dispensing systems, PVA (Precision Valve Automation, Inc.) is proud to announce that they will be launching the most significant new entry to their coating and dispensing product line since the PVA650, at IPC APEX Expo 2014, March 25-27, in Las Vegas.

The new Delta 6 Conformal Coating and Dispensing System reimagines PVA workcells. While maintaining their signature flexibility, capabilities and work area size, the Delta 6 has been designed with improvements in footprint, robustness, accessibility and aesthetics.

The first upgrade is a slimmer silhouette as the width of DELTA 6 is just under 4 inches less than its predecessor without losing any work area space. Also significant is the line length (width in assembly line) has been reduced from 48 to 34.2. The smaller footprint saves valuable space on the plant floor. Additionally, the system was designed with an increase in the useable work envelope, which can now accommodate a larger head for heavier tools. The robustness of the system has also been enhanced with improved structural and gantry rigidity. The Z-axis has also been upsized for additional rigidity.

Improvements have also been made to machine accessibility and ease of use including a new easy lift door that can be effortlessly opened by operators and a keyboard, appropriate for sitting or standing operation, that stores in the unit keeping it out of the way when not in use. Integrated consumable storage means needles, small tools, etc., are always on hand when needed. Access to electrical, pneumatics, integrated fluid delivery and a new pull out drawer, is easy via a single door in the front.

The Delta 6 is constructed with enhanced aesthetics for a clean look on the plant floor including fluid delivery components that have been integrated into the footprint and moving all connections to the top to keep them out of the way.

This is the most significant overhaul of our product line since introducing the PVA650 in 2008, said Frank Hart, Global Sales Marketing Manger at PVA.The conundrum weve found is that customers want robust systems that can do more, but take up less space. The Delta 6 Coating and Dispensing System addresses this concern while providing the same work area and capabilities in a more robust system. To signify the importance of the new system, we have taken a departure from our traditional letter/number nomenclature, choosing Delta, including the symbol, to represent our new systems and symbolize difference/change.

Two Delta 6 Coating and Dispensing Systems, demonstrating jetting, coating and micro dispensing, will be launched at IPC APEX Expo, March 25 -27, 2014, in Las Vegas. The Delta 6 will be available for purchase after its launch at the show.
