Robotic automated dispensing system ProPlus 4 Axes

Overview
The PROPlus Series 4-Axis automated fluid dispensing robot is a vision-guided dispensing solution featuring a rotating table (R-axis at table) that reduces vibration and head wear compared with rotating-head 4-axis robots. Its modular architecture supports both 4-axis and 3-axis configurations and accepts very fine dispense tips (as small as 33 ga) for demanding electronics and medical micro-dispensing applications.

Key Features

• Modular 3-axis or 4-axis configuration with rotating table R-axis
• Rotating table reduces vibration and wear on the robot head
• Dual linear guides, advanced servomotors and ball-screw drive for precise motion control
• X, Y, Z-axis repeatability ±0.003 mm
• R-axis repeatability 0.005° enabling precise 360° dispensing
• Integrated CCD vision for vision-guided dispensing
• Optional laser height detection for surface profiling and height compensation
• DispenseMotion™ software for simplified setup, programming and on-screen path preview
• Closed-loop feedback for consistent dispense performance
• Capability to mount taller and heavier dispensing devices on the robot head

Benefits

• Consistent, high-precision dispense results for small and complex parts
• Higher throughput from fast, repeatable motion and reduced cycle variability
• Lower maintenance and longer robot life due to reduced vibration and optimized mechanics
• Easy integration with existing production lines and broad compatibility with valves, syringes and tips

Typical Applications

• Precision electronic assembly (solder paste, adhesives, conformal coatings, underfill)
• Medical device manufacturing (micro-dispensing, bonding, potting)
• Battery cell production and adhesive/grease dispensing for automotive components
• Any process requiring highly repeatable 360° dispensing or ultra-fine nozzle dispensing

Included / Optional Capabilities

• Integrated CCD vision system (standard)
• DispenseMotion™ programming software (standard)
• Laser height detection (optional)
• Support for a wide variety of dispense tips, needles, syringe barrels, cartridges and valve systems

Technical specifications

• Configuration: Modular 3-axis or 4-axis robot (rotating table R-axis for 4-axis)
• X, Y, Z-axis repeatability: ±0.003 mm
• R-axis (rotational/table) repeatability: 0.005°
• Motion actuation: dual linear guides, advanced servomotors, ball-screw drive
• Vision: integrated CCD vision for vision-guided dispensing
• Height detection: optional laser height sensor
• Software: DispenseMotion™ for setup, path preview and programming
• Tip capability: supports very small dispense tips (examples down to 33 ga)
• Feedback: closed-loop position and motion control
• Design advantage: rotating table reduces head rotation wear and vibration, enabling mounting of taller/heavier dispense devices
