Fifth Axis Tilt (0 to 30 degrees) together with Four Position Rotate (0, 90, 180 and 270 degrees), are said to provide Film Coater applicators greater flexibility and increased access while conformal coating a printed circuit board. Tilt and rotate accessory is for coating vertical surfaces and underneath components. It enhances access to tight or hard-to-reach areas that may not be achievable with the standard downward approach (0 degrees). While the nozzle is tilted to 30 degrees, the mechanism can be rotated in 90-degree increments to direct the fan pattern to the left, right, front or back to coat all four sides of a component. Uses dual pneumatic motors for smooth, fast and quiet rotate action. Single action rotate speed is variable using flow controls. Is compatible with Select Coat SL-940E platform configured with Film Coater Applicators (SC-104/SC-105 or SC-204/SC-205).

Tridak Model 826 disposable fluid path valve (pinch valve) features adjustable suck-back control to provide clean shutoff for tacky, stringy materials; prevents material drool from forming at the dispense tip with low viscosity fluids. Also features disposable fluid path technology, which protects fluids from contamination and air entrapment. Fluid tubing is replaceable, and comes in two sizes and a variety of materials. Is for all low-to-high viscosity materials, including those with stringy flow properties. Possesses flow control and an over-stroke adjustment; fluid deposits range from micro liter shots to continuous beads. Over-stroke adjustment feature prevents tubing damage.
