Small shots of mixed adhesive becomes a breeze

Meter Mix Systems has introduced two machines designed especially for users who find the application of small shots of mixed adhesive.

The new offerings, which are available in pneumatic and electronic versions, are mixing and dispensing machines both of which are capable of dispensing shot sizes down to minute 0.01cc at a mix ratio of 1:1. Tony Pell, Technical Manager elaborated: "Accurately dispensing tiny quantities of mixed adhesive is one of the most difficult challenges faced by a mixing machine manufacturer. When processing materials at these levels, there are many factors which must be taken into consideration such as material compressibility, matching the mixer to process times and ensuring shot repeatability." "The PAR2E with electric drive is especially suited to laying micro beads when used in conjunction with one of the company's XY System coordinate tables," Pell added. The units both utilise well proven technology and have found many uses particularly in the electronics and medical industries.
