Abstract:
A dispensing system includes a frame, a support coupled to the frame, a dispensing unit configured to dispense viscous material, and a gantry assembly coupled to the frame. The gantry assembly includes a gantry configured to support the dispensing unit and to move the dispensing unit in x-axis, y-axis and z-axis directions and a tilt and rotate subassembly configured to tilt and rotate the dispensing unit. The dispensing system further includes a controller configured to control dispensing unit and the gantry assembly to perform a dispense operation on the electronic substrate. The controller is configured to simultaneously coordinate the movement of the gantry assembly and the tilt and rotate subassembly to position and orient the nozzle of the dispensing unit a predetermined distance and orientation from the electronic substrate while dispensing material along a three-dimensional path.
Abstract:
A dispenser, configured to dispense material on a substrate, includes a dispensing unit having a housing with a chamber, a piston disposed in the chamber and axially movable within the chamber, and a nozzle coupled to the housing. The nozzle has an orifice co-axial with the chamber of the housing. The dispenser further includes an actuator coupled to the dispensing unit and configured to drive the up- and down movement of the piston, and a compliant assembly coupled to the actuator and the piston. The compliant assembly is configured to permit limited relative travel between the actuator and the piston. A method of dispensing is further disclosed.

Abstract:
A dispensing system includes a frame, a support, a dispensing unit assembly, and a gantry. The gantry is configured to support the dispensing unit assembly and to move the dispensing unit assembly in x-axis and y-axis directions. The dispensing unit assembly includes a support bracket secured to the gantry and a movable bracket rotatably coupled to the support bracket configured to enable the rotation of the movable bracket with respect to the support bracket about a first axis, with a dispensing unit rotatably coupled to the movable bracket configured to enable the rotation of the dispensing unit with respect to the movable bracket about a second axis generally perpendicular to the first axis. A mass dampener assembly is coupled to the movable bracket, with the mass dampener assembly being configured to reduce vibration of the dispensing unit during operation.
Abstract:
A dispensing unit of a dispensing system configured to dispense viscous material on an electronic substrate includes a support housing and a fluidic housing supported by the support housing. The fluidic housing includes a chamber and an inlet configured to deliver viscous material to the chamber from a material feed tube. The dispensing unit further includes a nozzle assembly releasably secured to the housing and configured to close an end of the fluidic housing. The dispensing unit further includes a reciprocating piston disposed partially within the chamber of the fluidic housing. The piston is configured to dispense viscous material from the nozzle assembly. The dispensing unit further includes a fixed flexible diaphragm seal configured to be secured to the fluidic housing and to the piston.

Abstract:
A method of depositing material on an electronic substrate with a dispensing system includes acquiring an image of a first feature of a first component and an adjacent second feature of a second component, performing a measure command to measure an actual distance of a gap between the first feature of the first component and the second feature of the second component, dividing the length of the gap into segments to determine a gap width for each segment, based on the gap width, determining a number of dots to be dispensed by the dispensing unit for each segment, and performing the dispense operation for each segment.
