Hi,

 I spent some time with valves and dispensing, I wasted a lot of money ($7K) for a SuperDuper valve from Nordson EFD. It was years ago and I am still ticked.

A lot depends on what you are trying to dispense, I was playing with solder paste, terrible stuff to force through a needle. Having a shaft encoder on the motor or using a stepper motor to drive the auger along with a pressure sensor in the tip is important. Control of the motor speed along with X,Y drive controls is important, as you move faster the auger turns faster but there are limits to how fast you can turn before the tip pressure forces material to back flow in the auger. You need to know what is flowing out the tip so you can deposit consistent line regardless of X,Y speed.

Distance from the tip to the surface is important. At most dispensing demos you see at APEC or anywhere else you see them dispensing on glass, what a scam. Real surfaces, like a PCB, are anything but flat. So you start to consider adding a surface height monitor to your Z control loop to metail the correct tip to surface distance.

Subject: [TN] Auger Driven Dispensers

Gents/Ladies:

We are looking at putting a non-pneumatic drive dispenser on a robot. Due to some pretty fine dots, the need for speed and for consistency and the need for some lines to be dispensed, we are looking at an auger-driven system (5-6 mil dots).

Does anyone have favorite vendors of the dispensing pumps and controllers that can be added on to a pieces of automation equipment?

Regards
