Whether you need a UV-cure adhesive to assemble a medical device or a two-part epoxy to encapsulate electronics, you’ll find it at The ASSEMBLY Show South. Here’s a look at some of what you’ll see.

Selecting the automated dispensing technology that is the best fit for a specific application is not a decision to be made lightly.
