There is no manufacturing or production facility which does not need “dosing” function in some way or another. Dosing technology serves a vast area of industrial sector from production in the automotive sector to the aviation industry, chemical industry, electronics manufacturing, mechanical engineering, the food industry or the pharmaceutical industry. Dosing technology not only increases the protection against hazardous contaminants but also lowers the production cost, while increasing the product quality.
ViscoTec, a German dosing technology specialist, delivers all components for a complete system, from feeding, processing, dosing, and emptying along with service to its global customers. Visco Tec, India at productronica India 2019 showcased high precision dispensing solutions along with a couple of new launches. The focus products displayed were Metal free dispenser, 2-Component mixing head, 2-Component print –head for 3D printing of fluids & pastes and preeflow.
Vivek Ghewari, Branch Manager, ViscoTec India talked to Electronics Media on the following pointers.
Dosing Technology Applications in Electronics Manufacturing
On talking about Dosing technology applications in electronics manufacturing, Vivek said, “In electronics industry components dispensing machine finds application in form of conformal coating applied to circuit boards, LED encapsulation, dispensing of very minor quantity of fluid with solder paste or electronic ink used in PCB’s and optical bonding, glop-top encapsulation in semiconductor chips and many more.”
ViscoTec Focus for Indian Market
“Automotive, e-mobility and electronics manufacturing are the ViscoTec’s focus for the Indian market”. “We are also concentrating on mobile application manufacturing glop- top and optical bonding used in display manufacturing,” Vivek explained.
Future of Dosing Technology in Indian Electronics Industry
On sharing his perspective he explained that “Future of dosing technology looks very promising for the Indian market, due to the introduction of government initiative for e-mobility and growing mobile manufacturing interest locally. ViscoTec technology and solution can provide very precise technology to these stakeholders.”
What makes ViscoTec unique in this industry?
ViscoTec has many years of experience of developing dosing technology, vast working experience with many materials, global presence and service support makes it the first choice for customers said Vivek. He further explained that the dosing industry is service-oriented, along with equipment, ViscoTec serves his customers with troubleshooting service support and its global presence makes that seamlessly feasible.
Some major products displayed:
