The Servo-Flo 401 series servo-motor drive meter system is designed to apply small precision beads and metered shots of adhesives, sealants or lubricant materials from 1 to 8.5 cc in robotic and manual dispensing applications. Dispenses thixotropic and cohesive materials such as 1-part silicones, epoxies, urethanes and heat or ambient cure materials. Incorporates positive rod displacement precision metering of fluids. Is said to provide precise and repeatable bead profiles and variable flow-rate metered shot volumes. Is designed to provide a variety of preset material dispensing profiles. Meter accepts flow-rate commands from automation controls or can be preset to vary the flow rate during dispensing.

Sealant Equipment & Engineering, Inc., www.sealantequipment.com

MTpro software is said to simplify conveyor system planning and application by using 3-D solid model and electronic catalog technology. Contains all components and systems for VarioFlow modular chain conveyors, TS-family assembly conveyors, aluminum structural framing, and Manual Production Systems. Integrated product configurator supports user selection of technical parameters and directly displays chosen configuration as a 3-D model. Users can transfer 3-D models and 2-D drawings into internal systems via direct interfaces to all common CAD programs. Enables retroactive modifications to components and parts list information in selected CAD systems.

The SV-100 Slider Valve for solder paste dispensing is said to be up to 20% faster than standard auger dispensers; reportedly achieves 20,000 dots per hr. (on 1 mm grid) while delivering dots of less than 300 µm (0.012") for solder paste types 4, 5 and 6. Dots as small as 125 µm (0.005") in diameter can be achieved with type 6 paste. Dispenses dots and lines of pastes and fluids that contain metal additives with minimal clogging. Is compatible with Pb-free and no-clean solder pastes and silver-filled epoxies. Is for solder paste dots for passive components smaller than 0603, rework of BGA and QFN electrical connections, lines and patterns for RF shield attach, low-volume/high-mix applications, and unique patterns of conductive epoxy.
