A new and better way to automatically dispense fluids, pastes, sealants, inks, and adhesives, etc., with less setup time and material waste is now available. The Dispense Works robot allows users to easily convert a messy and tedious manual dispensing operation to a fully automatic and consistent process. Machine tool construction and powerful software make it ideal for low volume and R&D rework, as well as the most demanding high-volume industrial applications.

Unlike many "generic" robots, the Dispense Works system is optimized for dispensing by moving and positioning the valve from overhead when applying the fluid, allowing parts to remain stationary. This results in more rigid, stable, and simple fixturing, and the weight of the product does not affect performance. Furthermore, there is no mechanism or electronics located under parts to be potentially damaged in the event of an accidental spill or leak.

The dual memory embedded processor also functions as a digital valve controller, preprogrammed to operate syringes, valves, motorized augers, and pumps; all in real time for better accuracy and consistency. The system requires no PC for operation. File size and capacity are limited only to the included compact flash card.

Use the Windows Software Suite to graphically create, view, edit, and even animate dispense patterns right on the screen. The path may be created with manual commands, with the machine’s advanced "jog & teach" recording function or imported directly from a DXF, PLT, or G-Code file. A full featured vision system is available for registering fiducial marks, geometries, corners, holes, and even color registration. Tooling & fixturingãincluding a low profile rotary indexerãis available to streamline manual or automatic loading/unloading of product.

Dispense Works, Inc., is a U.S. manufacturer, and all systems are designed and manufactured at its facility. Its R&D lab and showroom are available for testing materials and developing custom solutions for the most unique applications.
