The Importance of Fluid Dispense Syringe Priming

It is so true that fluid dispense syringe priming is important to the process. Process control for fluid assembly applications begins with the very first dispense. The first dispense should be exactly the same as the last dispense from a syringe. This is why the syringe needs to be primed before the fluid dispensing process begins. A user is required to prime the first shot out of every syringe.

Do you need more information? Here’s a look at more information as to why fluid dispense syringe priming is so important.

Applications Are Becoming More Automated

Increasingly, fluid dispensing applications are becoming more automated. This results in the need to accelerate the pace at which the priming process takes place. In order to increase efficiency and keep up with the higher rate of dispenses and syringe change overs, the time that it takes to prime a syringe is constantly looked at as an item to improve upon within the fluid dispensing process.

Priming the Dispense Tip Fixes Issues

With an automated system, when you attach a dispense tip the fluid is at the end of the syringe luer. If the selected dispense volume is small you may need to cycle the system hundreds of times before the fluid fills the dispense tip hub and tubing thus reaching the end of the dispense tip tubing. To fix this, you prime the dispense tip by putting the priming station in manual mode and advancing the fluid until the dispense tip is full.

Automated Syringe Priming Increases Efficiency

It’s true that automating the syringe priming increases efficiency. This is because an automated syringe priming system allows the operator to pre-load several dispense guns offline while the production system is manufacturing product in the automated assembly system. This reduces the change over time to seconds, improving overall productivity.
