Introduction
VTK-TR-BA-072e-1 - User Manual MDS 358X Series
1 Introduction
With a micro dispensing system of the MDS line from VERMES Microdispensing, you have bought
a high quality product. Due to the longstanding experience of the team in regards to electronic
devices and piezo controls, these products provide highest functionality and reliability.
Thank you very much for your trust in us.
We will now show you how to assemble and use the microdispensing system. In order not to
impair the inherent safety concept of the system, you have to follow the procedures described in
this manual consequently during installation and operation.
Read this manual before you start the assembly and always consult it during the use of the
microdispensing system.
Start with the chapter “Safety Notes” (see chapter 2, page 8). This will help to prevent any
problems for the user or the equipment. In the case of further questions, consult our Technical
Support.

The MDS 3000 Product Family
The MDS models are members of the MDS 3000 product family, specialized in most accurate
dispensing and designed for flexible use with substances of low, medium and high viscosity (up
to 2000000 mPas). Applications can be found in the fields of SMT and in the production of
electronics, semiconductors and photovoltaic modules and many more.
Each microdispensing system belonging to the MDS 3000 product family is composed of a high
precision valve based on a piezoelectric element (MDV series), a control unit (MDC series) and an
optional selectable supply unit.
Due to its compact modular design, the system can be integrated quickly into any existing
production environment without major preparatory work. A change in the production line (e.g. a
modification of the liquid to be processed) is easily possible, since all of the dispensing
parameters are adjustable in a large range. Finetuning of the sequence is therefore possible at
any time. The system allows for reproducible proportioning of hundreds of identical single dots
or beads within a few seconds.
A comprehensive choice of accessories is available, e.g. nozzle inserts, tappets, seals and supply
units, so that the system can easily be adapted to new challenges any time, without giving rise to
major investment.
