2004D multi-purpose dispensers combine 3-axis robots with digital dispense controllers for SMT assembly tasks. Provide point-to-point, linear, or curved-arc application of solder pastes, solder masks, conductive epoxies, and other adhesives. Benchtop units weigh fewer than 100lbs.; can store up to 10,000 different dispensing routines created through the use of a handheld teach pendant. Can import CAD and graphics file formats and 3D interpolation of arc and line data points. Feature high-torque drive mechanism for speeds to 800mm/sec. and linear guide rails for a repeatability of ±0.01mm per axis.  Have 100mm of z-axis stroke and braking system that can hold up to a 6kg payload without power.
