AGD Systems takes the high road to better performance and lower production costs.
AGD Systems, a designer and manufacturer of advanced radar technology, have utilised a Novec surface modifier coating from 3M to play a vital role, enabling the radar firm to provide a high-performance and cost-effective solution, while overcoming some challenging production issues.
Turnaround of the whole coating process is now just a couple of days as opposed to the previous couple of weeks typically required.
“We have been able to save around 5% of the production cost of each radar by switching to the Novec coating
“If we need to carry out re-work on the PCB in the future, the Novec coating allows us to do that, so we will no longer have to throw away PCBs that need repairing or updating.”
As far as AGD Systems is concerned, the biggest benefit of the Novec coating is that it eliminates the need to mask off areas of the board (a necessity with the silicone coating used previously), saving much of the time and cost associated with the production process.
