High precision accuracy and repeatability in dispensing is becoming ever more important across the industrial world. Consequently a new exclusive UK agreement for those clever people at Intertronics to distribute preeflow volumetric dispensing/dosing equipment from ViscoTec was greeted with great enthusiasm all round.

Specialist adhesives company Intertronics has a wealth of UV cure adhesives and UV cure systems for manufacturers looking to upgrade their adhesive technologies or perhaps to move from a traditional mechanical fastening system to an adhesive solution – for reasons of cost and/or quality. Their new DYMAX UVC-5 conveyor system is a bench-top unit offering the benefits of rapid throughput UV curing as part of a production line or as stand-alone eq...

The Opti-tec range of optical adhesives and encapsulants continues to develop, and includes many with high optical clarity or other special properties related to specific optical applications such as fibre-optic termination or optical potting and encapsulation.

The Opti-tec range of optical adhesives and encapsulants continues to develop, and includes many with high optical clarity or other special properties related to specific optical applications such as fibre-optic termination or optical potting and encapsulation. Some of the range have passed ISO 10993 testing for medical device manufacture or are Telcordia GR-326-CORE compliant. Specialist applications include LED protection, bonding of surgical i...

The relentless march of Moore’s Law and the spread of application for high power electronic devices – especially the widening use of LED’s, increasingly bring forward the problem of heat dissipation. This is where high performance electronic grade thermal transfer silicones and silicone grease can be the first best hope in thermal management – a situation very familiar to the engineers at Intertronics.

Intertronics has a solution for manufacturers seeking to spray coat low viscosity materials at close tolerances, such as for conformal coatings or inks in low value production and prototyping applications.

Intertronics has found solvent-free, UV curable temporary masking resins to significantly simplify component masking processes while greatly reducing costs. This is experienced in lower scrappage rates, reduced labour rates and enhanced process speed. It has proven possible to reduce costs in the case of aircraft components by some 40% with 60% to 70% time saving.

The adhesives specialists at Intertronics recently launched the new BlueWave LED prime UVA high-intensity spot-curing system and a new line of compatible adhesives from technology partners DYMAX. The unit offers many advantages over conventional spot-curing systems, including no consumable bulbs to change, no warm-up, cool cures and constant intensity up to 50,000 hours.

Intertronics has introduced a new adhesive featuring a built-in cure indicator for appliance assembly and other industrial plastic-bonding applications. The DYMAX 3225-T-SC is a versatile, plastic-bonding adhesive formulated with See-Cure technology designed for rapid bonding, laminating and sealing of most plastics such as PMMA (acrylic), PC, PVC, ABS, PA, PU, SAN, TPU and aluminium.

Intertronics supply a comprehensive range of liquid dispensing equipment, ideal for adhesives, inks, coatings, sealants, gaskets, greases, oils – and many other fluids and pastes. They work with single components materials, and two or more component through a range of metering and mixing products from simple hand-held guns to sophisticated 4-axis dispensing robots. There is also a full selection of dispensing consumable products, like dispensin...

Large multi-axis robots are fairly familiar - we see them on television welding or spraying cars. What may not be so familiar is the success of smaller benchtop robots, which since the mid-1990’s have taken on assembly tasks on more modestly sized products, and in the SMEs now a significant factor in regeneration of UK manufacturing industries.

The specialist world of medical device assembly puts unusual challenges before manufacturers of products such as catheters, so it is exciting that market leaders Intertronics will launch an adhesive at Medtec (April 6-7th at the NEC) that is specifically formulated for that application.

Intertronics will display their expertise in adhesives for disposable medical device manufacturers at Medtech in April (6-7th) at the NEC. Along with UV, cyanoacrylate and epoxy adhesives, Intertronics will show UV curing equipment, dispensing, application and mixing equipment.

New from Intertronics is the DYMAX 1020-M Ultra Light-Weld®, an ultra-fast, tack-free, LED-curable adhesive. Explained Intertronics M.D. Peter Swanson: “It’s designed for rapid bonding of a wide variety of plastics typically used in the manufacture of medical devices such as reservoirs, tube sets, port fittings, drug delivery systems and heat-sensitive applications. Visible/UV light-curable 1020-M is formulated for less-than-two-second, on-d...

New from Intertronics is a fast-cure, low-shrink adhesive for optic assembly which eliminates parts movement – DYMAX OP-67-LS opto-mechanical adhesive cures in seconds for bonding of optical components, whilst its low-shrink nature virtually eliminates movement during curing and subsequent thermal cycling.

The new 3 axis Fisnar F4200N from Intertronics is such a machine – now available for less than £4000 it is expected to interest engineers in all industries especially for adhesive dispensing/application tasks in environments from research labs to electronic production lines and component assembly e.g. for form-in-place gaskets, adhesives, coatings, potting, filling and shielding.

The DYMAX Ultra-Red technology is based on the fact that many plastics naturally fluoresce blue under UV light – this minimizes the inspection advantages of using blue-fluorescing adhesives in parts assembly, red fluorescing adhesives however remain naturally clear until exposed to UV light, at which point they fluoresce bright red providing a vivid contrast that permits accurate bond-line inspection. The red fluorescence does not absorb the ...

Intertronics specialize in adhesives for high-tech, high-performance industries such as medical device assembly companies, so they are particularly pleased to announce a complete system of UV adhesives and LED curing from technology partner DYMAX specifically with assembly of medical devices in mind.

With low cost benchtop robotics playing a significant part in cost-reduced/quality-upgraded small scale production, this new Robotics Catalogue from Intertronics will interest engineers in all industries.

With a particular focus toward harsh duty electronics, the specialists at Intertronics have recently introduced the next generation of fast room-temperature-cure electronics adhesives from sales partner DYMAX. Their new 9422-SC is a component ruggedising and staking material, engineered to hold critical components such as Ball Grid Arrays (BGA) and Video Graphics Arrays (VGA) for secondary processes or for long-term reliability.
