IP-500 multifunctional tabletop platform for automated processes comes with a dispenser with an open application area for combined 2-D and 3-D applications. Application-specific robot heads use one or multiple Z-axes, Z- and theta-axes combinations. Dispense or high-speed spindle heads can be added. Exchanged needles are calibrated in X, Y and Z. With the integrated visual control, the dispensing area can be inspected immediately after dispensing of the media. CAD data import for point, matrix, line, curve or individual dispense patterns is possible; the X, Y and Z-axis are synchronized, and the dispense path is controlled and optimized continuously.

Ultimus V and Optimeter are said to reduce downtime at automated dispensers. For fluids that change viscosity, Ultimus V high-precision dispenser stores and then automatically adjusts dispensing settings to keep the amount of fluid applied constant. To compensate for changing fluid reservoir levels, Optimeter automatically adjusts airflow to maintain uniform deposit size.
