Jetting Technology minimizes process variability.

info@productnews.com (ThomasNet News) — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 08:39:40 -0500

Using Fluidmove® for Windows® XP software, integral electro-pneumatic regulators, and precision weigh scale, CPJ+ automatically compensates for fluid viscosity changes over time as well as batch-to-batch variations. At programmed intervals, dispenser measures weight per dot and adjusts each jet to maintain constant mass per part. CPJ+ ensures consistent flow rates for applications such as underfill with tight keep-out zones and sealing applications where uniform bondline thickness is critical.
