Dispense and Cure
Systems
A semiautomated light-cure
processing system can be used for
the rapid assembly of translucent,
colored medical device components.
The Loctite Indigo system is suitable
for small to moderate production
requirements. It features three
integrated components that replace
manual production systems. Its
benchtop robot has a 200 × 200-
mm operating range and a 50-mm
vertical axis. Mounted to the robot
are a pressure-time syringe dispenser
and an LED light source. When
the system is initiated, the syringe
dispenser automatically applies an
adhesive onto the translucent colored
parts. The robot then picks and places
a mating component and initiates the
light source.

Power Supplies
A company makes a series of
interchangeable blade, wall plug-in power supplies. The blade
configurations available for the
GT-84107 series can be used in
North America, Japan, Europe,
the United Kingdom, Korea, China,
and Australia. The products have a
regulated output voltage of 5 V at
1 A for 5 W of continuous power
via a USB jack. They are housed
in impact-resistant, nonvented
polycarbonate cases with thermal
conduction cooling.

Bonding Adhesive
A bonding adhesive is formulated
for the rapid bonding and laminating
of such plastics as PC, PVC, PET,
ABS, and PU used in the assembly of
plastic appliances, subcomponents,
housings, and enclosures. Ultra
Light-Wed 3220-SC is bright blue
in its uncured state, which makes it
easy to see on-the-surface substrates
in deep wells or when sandwiched
between two layers of materials.
Prior to curing, the blue color also
enables simple vision systems to be
incorporated into assembly processes
to provide a visual indicator of
adhesive coverage and profile. After
the adhesive is cured, the product
turns clear. This serves as a visible
indicator to confirm the adhesive has
received a sufficient dose of energy to
reach full cure. The adhesive has low
moisture absorption and low viscosity
for easy dispensing.

Ultrasonic-Welding
Software
A Windows-based software add-on
to an ultrasonic welding equipment
manufacturer’s basic process control
system is offered to users of the
ultrasonic equipment as a means
of fulfilling data management and
communication requirements. The
DataRecorder software module
complements the Dialog welding
process control system. Loaded onto
a stand-alone computer, it serves as
a central location for networking as
many as 16 of the larger software
systems. It collects up to 40 different
weld parameters for each weld cycle
and records them. It then calculates
mean values, standard deviation,
process centeredness, and the process
capability index.
