Automatic Paste Dispenser II works in parallel along other printer functions to minimize time loss and deliver consistent paste volumes to the stencil for process control. Is said to be easy-of-use and reliable, for complete control of dispensing profile by optimizing speed, pressure, position and frequency to ensure paste deposition when and where required. Helps eliminate lost areas of material, which can contribute to yield losses, particularly with finer-pitched components. Deposits paste simultaneously during stencil cleaning so that the equipment is being fully utilized to streamline production time and increase throughput. Cartridge changeover said to be less than two minutes. Offers paste level detection, compatibility with industry-standard material syringes and fully programmable dispense stroke (length) and position (x, y).

Dual solder nozzle is for the selective soldering process. Two different size solder nozzles operate in tandem; a circuit board with different size components can be processed in one pass. Solder nozzles are 3mm or 6mm and 12mm or 18mm. Nozzles operate independently within a single soldering program.  Each nozzle is powered by its own programmable pump; solder volume and wave height can be set for a particular nozzle or printed circuit board assembly.
