Solder paste can be dispensed quite well from these systems provided that proper attention is paid to correctly specifying the material. Solder pastes are inherently more difficult to dispense than adhesives but if particle size range [and distribution in the specified range] is correctly done with the right vehicle rheology, consistent dispense at quite high rates is achievable.

They seem to be the market leaders. They do underfill, adhesive and flux dispensers, and though I haven't seen a solder paste dispenser in their list, they may do one. Or try EFD - they do have a paste dispenser, but you'll need to decide its accuracy for yourself.

The speed is not as important as accuracy and quality of work. Do you know of a machine like this? If so, how can I find one?
