Solving a leaking problem on an electronic box
Customer requirement: Replace O-rings to ensure the sealing of an electronic enclosure.
Our customer in the defense sector was faced with a sealing problem on electronic housings.
For the assembly of a militarized communications device, our customer was using solid seals (O-rings) to seal the casing, but it was difficult to automate their installation on M2 x 8 screws.
We therefore recommended under-head pre-coating using Precote 200.
Why is the Precote 200 the right solution for the electronics industry?
The choice of Precote 200 for this specific application is not accidental. The stringent requirements of the electronics sector call for a solution that guarantees a reliable seal, yet is compatible with the sector’s specific constraints. Precote 200 stands out for its ability to meet these requirements in an exceptional way.
The application of Precote 200 ensures sealing immediately after assembly.
In addition, one of the major challenges previously encountered was the difficulty of automating the removal of the solid gasket. However, with Precote 200 pre-coating, this problem has been solved in an innovative way. Customers receive their screws ready for use and with the sealing function, which saves them assembly costs.
Conclusion
Our solution provided a reliable seal while simplifying the assembly process. With the successful delivery of over 2 million parts, under-head pre-coating has become an innovation for professionals in the electronics sector.
