IDS Recommends Non-Contact Dispensing Methods
Non-contact dispensing methods allow for more efficient production processes, according to Integrated Dispensing Systems (IDS). With the ever-increasing miniaturisation of industrial processes, manufacturers are continually asking for higher demands in production-process accuracy. In the field of precision micro-dispensing, the demands are getting tougher as dosed quantities of oils, greases, adhesives and soldering fluxes must be dispensed with pinpoint accuracy and within a very short period of time - typically less than 2ms per shot or dose. IDS, representing Liquidyn, claims to have a solution for these demands. The current known and widespread method of dispensing is by the traditional contact dispensing method, where the material is volumetrically dispensed by varying time and pressure. However, this method is prone to inaccuracies and potential mess, according to IDS. Liquidyn dispensing valves utilise a non-contact dispensing technique that avoids any contact between the dispe...
