Abstract:
A method of conformally coating an object with a conformal coating system including a plurality of independently operable coating applicators wherein said coating applicators are independently tiltable and wherein said coating applicators are capable of sideways movement along an X axis, front and back movement along a Y axis, up and down movement along Z axis and rotational movement about at least one axis of the X axis, the Y axis and the Z axis, the method comprising steps of:providing the plurality of coating applicators on an end effector; causing the plurality of coating applicators to traverse a path by one or more of movement along the X axis, movement along the Y axis, movement along the Z axis, and rotational movement about the at least one axis; and dispensing conformal coating about the object through one or more of the plurality of coating applicators, wherein the one or more of the plurality of coating applicators is tilted during the dispensing.
