1.2. Areas of applications
Dispensing
Typical examples of high quality and highly dynamic dispensing requirements appear in the area
of pharmaceutics, medicine, and biotechnology. So far, only low viscous media could be
dispensed due to the nozzle and valve technologies being mainly made for the intake and output
of analysis fluids in micro-titter plates.
Micro adhesion
The wide field of adhesives which has become increasingly significant, especially during the past
years, experiences an additional dynamic by the enlargement in the direction of micro-adhesion.
As there have been only time-consuming contact techniques, delivering smallest adhesive drops,
the micro dispensing of adhesive products is accelerated by the elimination of feed motion in z-
direction in terms of high multiplication.
Micro lubrication
In the fine mechanics appliance area, components and devices – for example mechanical clocks
or small gears of hard drives – the exact dispensing of lubricants in micro dispensing techniques
represent a considerable progress to accelerate the production process. In such cases, we talk
about micro lubricating.
Micro marking
In the area of marking technologies in industrial processes the Micro Dispensing System MDS
3000 family is the ideal addition to automated marking within individual processes. The marks are
applied contact less with high speed precisely to mostly extreme small-sized parts.
Special industrial appliances – Micro Dispensing by free jet method
In numerous industrial applications smallest reproducible drops of different media need to be
placed on a target with difficult to reach POD (point of dispensing). This can often only be
processed with a Micro Dispensing System of the MDS 3000 family allowing industrial automation
and sufficient speed and precision.
With the possibility of external triggering a Micro Dispensing System is seamlessly integrated into
almost every superior control system (e.g. PLC).
