Dispensing Technology – Focus on What Matters

When adopting a new technology, all markets seek a low-cost solution. In the case of 2C dispensing cells the matter mostly revolves around how to automate the inefficient process of manual dispensing, which often lacks sufficient quality. Another aim is to achieve higher flexibility. For example, it is impossible to apply exact lines manually. But exact lines are required for a growing number of sealing applications when producing electronic components.

A closer look reveals that Asian, European and American electronics manufacturers have very different requirements in mind when they inquire for low-cost entry-level models. While in the past different models were built for different markets, this is no longer the case with the new DesktopCell. The dispensing cell can be used efficiently and sustainably for the widest variety of tasks. Therefore, its semi-automatic design, which can be easily integrated in lean production environments anywhere, is of great interest to electronics manufacturers across the globe.

Many manufacturers still mix and process casting resins manually. The resulting dispensing quality hardly ever meets today''s requirements any longer. Manual dispensing is highly inefficient and does not meet the pressing demands for shorter time-to-market. The new system opens new perspectives to electronics manufacturers in the lighting, automotive and consumer electronics sectors, many of which are based in Asia.

In Europe and America different concerns prevail. A very recent topic in these countries is e.g. to achieve high process reliability when applying gap fillers or thermally conductive pastes. Processing of these media requires a combination of precise metering, accurate positioning and high repeat accuracy. The DesktopCell is custom-built to meet all these requirements.
