The dual purpose IJF SMD602A-CE from Intertronics reportedly combines accurate dispensing of a variety of liquids with the ability to place and remove small components (see Plate 3).

Designed to dispense assembly materials including adhesives, pastes, solvents, lubricants, inks and greases, the SMD602A-CE also features a manually activated vacuum pick-up system with controls integrated into the unit's front panel. This is thought to make it ideal for pick and place of small parts during assembly.

Timing intervals range from 0.01 to 30 seconds, so the system can be used for potting components or dispensing microdots. A vacuum system on the fluid line prevents dripping of low viscosity fluids. Repeat tolerance is less than 0.5 per cent, with cycle speeds exceeding 600 per minute.

Well suited to surface mount production, repair and laboratory applications, it is supplied complete with all accessories, fittings and input hoses, storage stand and a quantity of disposable dispensing components.
