Theory of Operation
A. System Mechanics
1. The X-1000 consists of essentially two interdependent machines whose
motions are coordinated through a computer interface using Fluidmove for
Windows NT (FmNT) software.
2. The first machine is a three-axis robot (Dispense Head) mounted on an
overhead gantry. It carries a fluid dispensing valve and precisely positions it
over the workpiece during the dispensing process.
3. The second machine is a conveyor that transports the workpiece from an
upstream machine, to the X-1000 dispense station, and after dispensing of
the adhesive, to a downstream machine.
B. Dispense Head
1. The Dispense Head consists of the:
Dispense Valve(s)
Vision System
Height Sensor
Needle Heater (if present)
Associated and Electric and Pneumatic Controls
2. Dispense Head movement is controlled by a programmable PMAC card,
located inside of the computer. Dispense Head Input/Output (I/O) is
managed by a 555 Microcontroller.
3. Dispense Head features include:
XYZ Servo Controlled Axes
- X and Y are cable driven
- Z is rack and pinion driven
Four solenoid valves that are needed by the dispense valves.
Dual action bracket, when necessary.
Two PCAs, which provide local control for the end effectors.
4. The dispense heads moves in the XYZ planes.
X, Y Axis (Left, Right, Front, Rear)
Z-Axis (Up, Down)
Home is a reference point defined as (0, 0, 0,) in an X, Y, Z-axis
coordinate system. The default home position is the left front corner of
the system.
