Small Volume Dispensing: 01005

GRAND JUNCTION, CO ― October 2013 ― GPD Global, a manufacturer of precision fluid dispensing systems for high-volume 24/7, low-volume/high-mix and R&D production, has again pushed the limits for small-volume dispensing with its new Nano-Piston pump. Dots of conductive adhesive down to 100 μm and solder paste for 01005s are possible with the Nano-Piston Pump.

The pneumatically-driven pump is easy to maintain while the precision nozzles and pistons provide continuous, accurate dispense results. Unlike other dispense technologies, the Nano-Piston Pump has excellent startup and first shot repeatability. The pump has interchangeable pistons and nozzles to meet any small shot requirements. For larger dots, multiple small shots may be combined into one. Alternatively, the piston and nozzle configuration may be changed to accommodate a larger single shot. Continuous bead dispensing is performed by cycling the pump at a high frequency and moving the gantry in the desired pattern. Additionally, bead widths down to 80 μm have been achieved with conductive adhesive.

If your application is pushing the limits of your existing dispense technology, speak to a local GPD Global representative about the Nano-Piston pump. For more information, call 970-245-0408.
