  • Patent number: 6578773
    Abstract: An assembly for jetting droplets of a viscous medium. The assembly is releasably mountable in a machine using the assembly for providing a substrate with deposits. The assembly comprises an assembly holder having first holding means mating with an assembly support of a docking device of the machine, a nozzle, an eject mechanism connected to the nozzle, a viscous medium container connected to the eject mechanism, and signal interface means. Thus, the assembly is to be regarded as a separate, exchangeable unit.

  • Patent number: 6540152
    Abstract: An assembly for dispensing droplets of a viscous medium. The assembly is releasably mountable in a machine using the assembly for providing a substrate with deposits. The assembly comprises an assembly holder having first holding portions mating with an assembly support of a docking device of the machine, a nozzle, an eject mechanism connected to the nozzle, a viscous medium container connected to the eject mechanism, an assembly property element holding information about properties of the assembly, and signal interface. Thus, the assembly is to be regarded as a separate, exchangeable unit.

  • Patent number: 6508196
    Abstract: In a device for ejecting small amounts of a liquid material having accurately defined volumes from a chamber (1), the chamber has a nozzle aperture (7) and a rod (9) is mounted in or attached to a wall of the chamber (1), so that an end surface (11) of the rod is located opposite and at a small distance of the nozzle aperture (7). A driving device is coupled to the rod (9) for displacing the end surface (11) forwards and backwards inside the chamber with a very small stroke, with a high acceleration and a large force, so that a pressure wave is formed and propagates in the material in the chamber (1). The pressure wave then ejects material out of the nozzle aperture (7).

  • Patent number: 6450416
    Abstract: The present invention refers to a method and a device for jetting droplets of a viscous medium onto an electronic circuit board. According to the invention, the viscous medium is applied from a viscous medium supply container to an eject chamber through a tubular passage using a rotatable feed screw arranged within the tubular passage. The viscous medium is then jetted from the eject chamber through an eject nozzle by the rapid decreasing of the volume of the chamber.

  • Publication number: 20020014602
    Abstract: Solder paste application, inspection and correction. Following or during application of solder paste on a substrate, the result thereof is inspected and any detected errors are registered. Following an evaluation as to whether correction of these errors is required and if it would be worthwhile, the errors are corrected. The correction involves removing solder paste from locations where so required, and jetting of additional solder paste to locations where so required.
