SmartDispenser® General Fluids Automation Integration Kit (SDIK™)
AirFree® Technology & Fluid Dispensing Automation
The fully-automated SDIK™ is most typically used in facilities that are set up with “production cells”. Any number of dispensing units may be used in tandem during the rapid production of parts. The SDIK™ easily integrates with both a PLC and robotics. As the dispense signals are sent from another source, there is no need for a touch screen, mouse, or keyboard. The facility may attach and utilize a DVI computer monitor, conceivably using a KVM switch to check and view all of the units at critical points.
The fully-automated SDIK™ is configured exactly the same as the benchtop unit, with all the same software and add-ons provided. The primary difference is the elimination of the touchscreen monitor, 2 of the 4 USB hubs and the foot pedal input. Essentially, the SDIK™ has been stripped of anything that is unnecessary in a pure production environment, reduced in size (for easy installation on a 19 inch DIN rail), and lower in cost.
AirFree® technology acts as an additional axis when mounted on a benchtop automation system. The precise control engineered into the X, Y and Z axis is now applied to the fluid delivery axis. All axes are motor-driven lead screws with known speeds and can be coordinated providing the highest precision and repeatability available on a desktop robot.
Fluid Dispensing Process Control
- ProcessControl2® quantifies Fluid Dispense Program.
- AirFree® Linear Drive System replaces air pressure improving fluid deposit repeatability 6-10 times.
- ProcessControl2® auto adjust program provides the highest fluid deposit repeatability.
- SmartDispenser® Control Center assures the exact amount of voltage is supplied to the Linear Drive System, assuring identical performance from each SmartDispenser®.
