Conformal coating machine prices depend on axes, valves and accuracy class. This guide explains each cost factor so you can send board details for an exact quotation.
Board size sets the motion platform. Valve count and type set the process: one spray valve coats, a needle valve handles edges and keep-out borders, and multi-valve setups do both in one pass. Accuracy class sets the motion hardware: coating patterns with fine keep-out margins need the tighter class. A curing section, if your coating needs one, is a further line item, as is conveyor integration with the boards' line standard.
| Cost factor | What it changes |
|---|---|
| Board size | Platform and axis travel |
| Valve setup | Spray, needle or combined processes in one pass |
| Accuracy class | Motion components and achievable keep-out margins |
| Curing section | Added when the coating needs UV or heat curing |
| Line integration | Conveyor and interface options |
Two buyers coating 'PCBs' can need machines a class apart: a large board with wide margins is simple work; a dense board with connectors to keep out is not. Send board dimensions, a photo of the coating area and your boards-per-hour target, and the quotation will price the machine you actually need.
When comparing quotes, price the alternative honestly: manual masking labour per board, masking defects and rework, and the field-failure cost of a missed area. A selective machine that looks expensive against a basic spray setup often wins on those three lines within the first production year.
Consider a lighting driver board, 200 mm long, coated over most of its surface with wide margins around two connectors. A single spray valve on a mid-accuracy platform coats it all day; the quote is mostly platform and valve. Now consider a dense control board of the same size with a dozen keep-out components and margins of a millimetre or two. The same nominal job — 'coat a 200 mm board' — now needs the tighter accuracy class, a needle valve for borders and more programming time. The two quotations differ by a wide margin, and both are correct.
This is why responsible suppliers refuse to quote coating machines from a one-line description, and why the fastest route to a real price is a board photo with the coating areas marked.
