The ability to deposit precise amounts of material is an ever-increasing necessity for manufacturers, particularly when assembling electronics and medical devices. Methods available for dispensing adhesives, epoxies and a multitude of other fluids cover a wide spectrum of techniques from manual applications like squeeze bottles, toothpicks and hand-plunger syringes to semi-automated tabletop dispensing robots.

In this white paper, Vlad Konopeklo explores the switch from manual squeeze bottle dispensing to benchtop fluid dispensing.

Topics Covered:

• Fluid Dispensing and Production Capacity
• Manual Methods
• Precision Fluid Dispensing
• Air-Powered Benchtop Dispensers
• Positive Displacement Dispensers
• Fluid Considerations
• What to look for in Benctop Dispensing Components
• Syringe Barrels
• Pistons
• Dispensing Tips
• Tip Caps and End Caps

Following Techsil’s acquisition of Aerospace and Defence industry suppliers, M-tec in May 2017, the two companies have now fully merged and M-tec is trading under the Techsil banner.

In this case study Techsil provided this LED Luminaire Manufacturer with two thermal interface materials that improved the assembly process and heat dissipation within their LED lighting units.

Momentive Performance Materials has a long history in the Aerospace and Aviation Industry offering advanced silicone RTV materials for a range of aerospace & aviation applications including low outgassing products and grades that offer thermal protection. View their range of brochures here.

Techsil offers a Technical Guide to using Adhesive Tapes.

Techsil have launched a new Ultraviolet Light Meter from UV curing equipment manufacturers, Hönle which measures intensity and dose of UV lamps and UV-LED curing units with exact precision.

In this case study Techsil provided a bespoke form-in-place foam gasket service to TRT Lighting to produce an IP rated seal for the lid of an outdoor lighting luminaire. The new process replaced a more time consuming manual application; the saved time allows for vital resources to be used elsewhere.

Momentive Performance Materials offer a portfolio of mould-making silicones for a range of different applications and industries.

In this case study Techsil provided emergency LED lighting manufacturers, Mackwell Electronics, with an automated solution for dispensing a clear, fast curing, 1-part silicone sealant with a Nordson Performus™ III benchtop dispenser, to seal a clear plastic lens in an emergency luminaire housing. This provided an accurate, reliable IP65 rated seal, improved productivity and the system installed can be adapted to suit other in-house bonding applications.
