Accurate XYZ benchtop dispenser can be programmed via a Palm handheld device

15 June 2005 Manufacturing / Production Technology, Hardware & Services

EFD is a leading manufacturer of precision dispensing systems for all production fluids and pastes. Equipment ranges from hand-operated dispense guns to timed-pulse bench-top dispensers to low-maintenance precision dispense valve systems and XY tables for automated assembly lines.

The new Ultra TT Automation series is a breakthrough in XYZ dispensing technology, bringing a new level of accuracy and convenience to automated table top assembly processes, says the company. The system allows benchtop bonding, gasketing and filling operations to be programmed with a Palm handheld device. In addition, intuitive graphic user-interface software provides positioning and dispensing parameter control, making set-up faster than standard XYZ systems that use teaching pendants with menu-driven software.

The system offers accurate programming, combined with closed-loop servo controls and drive motors for precise positioning of the dispensing tip. This results in higher productivity, greater process consistency and less scrap and rework says EFD.
