In April 2026, a Guadalajara-based electronics firm installed an I.C.T selective conformal coating system, supported by on-site engineering from China, achieving reduced rework, material savings, and consistent protection for automotive-grade boards.

A contract electronics manufacturer in Mexico recently completed installation of an I.C.T automated selective conformal coating line to address inconsistent manual application on complex PCBA assemblies. The project, finalized in spring 2024, included three weeks of hands-on training by I.C.T engineer Andy.

The customer produces boards for automotive and industrial controls, facing challenges from coastal humidity and dense component layouts requiring precise keep-out zones. Manual spraying led to variable thickness, adhesion issues, and rework rates nearing 15%.

After evaluating options, the firm selected I.C.T's system for its robotic dispensing accuracy (0.01 mm resolution) and compatibility with acrylic, urethane, and silicone coatings across typical thickness ranges. On-site commissioning covered programming, nozzle calibration, fume management, and daily maintenance routines.

Post-installation data showed masking labor reduced by approximately 70%, material consumption down 85-90% via selective paths, and overall rejects below 3%. Operators now handle higher volumes with fewer errors, aided by barcode-triggered recipes and self-clean cycles.

I.C.T provided ongoing remote support, reinforcing the five-year warranty on major components. The installation aligns with industry standards such as IPC-A-610 and IPC-CC-830, ensuring compliance for end-use environments.
