Selecting the automated dispensing technology that is the best fit for a specific application is not a decision to be made lightly. This is understandable in light of the many technologies that are available, including the progressive cavity pump, auger valve, time-pressure valve and pneumatic jet valve.
In most cases, any of above technologies is adequate, with attributes such as throughput and quality proving to be well-suited for most applications. For the medium- to high-volume assembly of mobile devices, LEDs, consumer electronics and medical devices, however, there is a growing need for advanced dispensing technology that can accommodate ever-higher yields and improved profitability.
