AUTOMATED DISPENSING
INTERTRONICS
NEXT GENERATION OF FISNAR BENCHTOP DISPENSING
ROBOTS AVAILABLE FROM INTERTRONICS
To give manufacturers access to the
latest in automated liquid dispensing
technology, adhesives specialist Intertronics
is introducing the next generation of
modular Fisnar F4000 ADVANCE series
robots. Manufactured by leading supplier
of fluid dispensing systems and equipment,
Fisnar, the new series comprises the most
extensive range of robots in the industry.
This enables manufacturers to specify a
dispensing automation system that meets
their own specific requirements.
The Fisnar F4000 ADVANCE series of robots
have a new modular connectivity design,
which allows simple and easy interface to a
range of new robot accessories, including a
tip alignment module and a vision system
for visual programming and fiducial position
adjustment, including automatic X, Y & Z tip
alignment. These accessories can be readily
added as required, to further improve
process control, increase productivity and
reduce overall operational costs.
Other improvements include increased
work areas on these 3-axis, 4-axis and
5-axis robots to a maximum of 600mm x
500mm, with corresponding increased
Z-axis travel and clearance. Programming
is straightforward with the standard
teach pendant; there are some enhanced
programming functions and the robots
include a copy of the Windows-compatible
Robot Edit software for additional
functionality and program storage.
“This new Fisnar ADVANCE series of
dispensing robots is a significant step
forward,” says Kevin Cook, Technical
Manager of Intertronics. “They represent an
upgraded foundation for the automated
dispensing systems which we offer for
bonding, potting, sealing, gasketing,
temporary masking or lubricating. By
configuring these robots with appropriate
dispensing valves or pumps, customising
them with holding tools and fixtures,
benches and safety enclosures and
providing installation and training, our
customers can quickly realise a return on
their investment and a productivity win.”
The Fisnar F4000 ADVANCE series
is available for demonstration at
Intertronics’ Oxfordshire-based
Technology Centre.
