Hi Richard: We use an X/Y/Z programmable system from GPD. It has dual head dispense capability i.e. one for solderpaste and one for epoxy adhesive. It can accommodate a 24" Y axis dispense length which would work on your step and repeat approach. It use a pass thru conveyor however I don't know if it can be stepped or indexed. We run these at a fairly high volume, 2000 PCA's per line per day. Regards Michael Barmuta Staff Engineer Fluke Corp.

Sent: Thursday, September 07, 2006 2:20 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: [TN] Epoxy and Solder paste dispensers Hi folks, I need some help. I have a project that involves dispensing both epoxy and solder paste to a 6 foot long pwb. The pwb is only 2" wide. It will be mounted on a carrying fixture. I am looking for dispensers with a pass-through conveyor system that can accomodate this long pwb, even if I have to dispense to a section at a time and then increment the pwb forward. Because the circuit board has a repeating pattern throughout its entire length, I am thinking that I can create the dispense program and then simply step and repeat it for sections (say 2 feet at a time) of the 6 foot circuit board, but I want the system to move the circuit board through the dispenser automatically. The contract is for very high volumes. Therefore I am looking for a dispenser, but I am having a lot of difficulty talking to Asymtek, Camelot, etc. and trying to figure out which models can do something like this. The sales reps do seem to be technically challenged. I do not have a lot of experience with epoxy dispensers, so I am looking for someone who does who can point me in the right direction to find a model that can do something like this. I know that some dispensers can handle reel-to-reel flex, for example, and I would appreciate hearing from those who use these machines on a daily basis. Thanks in advance. --------------------------------------------------- Technet Mail List provided as a service by IPC using LISTSERV 1.8e To unsubscribe, send a message to [log in to unmask] with following text in the BODY (NOT the subject field): SIGNOFF Technet To temporarily halt or (re-start) delivery of Technet send e-mail to [log in to unmask]: SET Technet NOMAIL or (MAIL) To receive ONE mailing per day of all the posts: send e-mail to [log in to unmask]: SET Technet Digest Search the archives of previous posts at: http://listserv.ipc.org/archives Please visit IPC web site http://www.ipc.org/contentpage.asp?Pageid=4.3.16 for additional information, or contact Keach Sasamori at [log in to unmask] or 847-615-7100 ext.2815 ----------------------------------------------------- This message (including any attachments) contains confidential and/or proprietary information intended only for the addressee.
