automatic driver production line with AB glue potting machine, vacuuming and heating oven

Line Description

LED water-proof driver production process requires AB glue like 1:1 silicone coating for components protection. If done by manual operation, it leads to much labor cost. GDS team is able to offer complete automatic solution to realize quick AB glue potting and curing. At the end of the potting line, LED driver with cured glue inside are ready. The whole line may only need 1-2 workers with high capacity.

the LED driver production line can integrate the following functions:

• AB glue potting machine for first time potting
• Automatic vaccuuming for the first time
• AB glue potting machine for second time potting
• AB glue vaccuuming for the second time
• heating oven for fast curing
• LED water-proof driver transfer-tray fixture
• speed-chain line for fixture conveying in cycle
• fixture loading unit

 Key advantages can be found from following perspectives:

1. Key Components and Process

• AB Glue System: Utilizes a two-component silicone (resin and hardener) that, when mixed in precise ratios, forms a durable, waterproof seal.

• Automated Mixing & Dispensing: A precision metering system combines the components in controlled proportions, eliminating human error and ensuring consistent curing.

• Potting Process: The mixed glue is automatically injected into LED driver housings, encapsulating sensitive electronic components (e.g., PCBs, connectors) to shield them from environmental factors.

• Curing Stage: Post-dispensing, the glue cures either at room temperature or in a heated chamber, forming a rigid or flexible barrier depending on the epoxy formulation.

2. Advantages

• Enhanced Waterproofing: Creates an IP67/IP68-rated seal, critical for outdoor, industrial, or marine LED applications.

• Improved Reliability: Protects against thermal cycling, vibration, and corrosion, extending the LED driver’s lifespan.

• High Efficiency: Automation enables rapid, continuous production with minimal downtime, ideal for high-volume manufacturing.

• Consistency: Eliminates voids, bubbles, or uneven coverage, ensuring uniform quality across all units.

• Cost-Effectiveness: Reduces material waste and labor costs compared to manual potting methods.

3. Applications

Waterproof LED drivers produced via AB glue potting are widely used in:

• Outdoor lighting (streetlights, garden lights)

• Automotive lighting systems

• Industrial and underwater lighting

• Smart lighting infrastructure exposed to harsh environments.

The automatic AB glue potting line is indispensable for producing high-performance, waterproof LED drivers. By combining precision, efficiency, and scalability, it ensures end products meet stringent quality and durability demands, supporting the growth of LED applications in challenging environments.
