About the Benchtop Fluid Dispenser | Catalina
Full-Featured, Compact Benchtop Fluid Dispenser Offering Accurate And Repeatable Dispense Results.
POWERFUL DISPENSE CAPABILITIES
- Easy to learn, computer-based software with Windows operating system.
- Easy to use point-based teaching for all axis movement. Able to set point jobs and various parameters.
- Automatic alignment and positioning with high resolution camera.
- Create dispense paths using camera teach or on-screen graphic editing.
- Import DXF files for complex path programming.
- I/O ports provide the flexibility to add advanced features/equipment.
MODELS
- Catalina L - High repeatability with contact probe or non-contact laser surface sensing.
- Catalina TR -Dispense with Tilt and Rotate function.
- Catalina Mini - For dispensing on small substrates. Work area: 200 mm x 200 mm (7.9" x 7.9")
STANDARD FEATURES
- Automatic Vision - System automatically locates alignment points to account for product shift and rotation.
- 3D Dispensing - Laser traces the dispense path and measures surface variation, then adapts height of the dispense tip to maintain a consistent gap.
- Image Alignment - Vision system locates alignment points to account for product rotation.
- Automatic XYZ Nozzle Calibration - Locates dispense tip in X, Y, Z for accurate fluid placement.
- Graphic Edit & DXF Support - User-friendly graphic editing to create a dispense path. AutoCAD DXF files are supported.
ADD-ON OPTIONS
- Fluid Pressure Control (FPC) - Real time process control for pump. Constantly monitors and adjusts fluid pressure entering the pump to maintain optimal pump operation condition.
- Heated Work Area - For heating substrates up to 120° C (248° F).
- Fluid Level Detect - Notifies operator when fluid level attains set point.
- Contact Surface Sensor - Alternative to laser surface sensor. A contact probe may be used to physically touch a product in order to locate the surface.
- Laptop Computer - Runs the software.
- Teaching Pendant - Remotely controls tabletop robot.
