Is your Dispensing Program Limiting your UPH?

Manufacturers are constantly challenged to produce products faster than ever before. Today’s devices are smaller, more complex, and expected to deliver greater performance and energy efficiency—all while maintaining the highest quality standards. As these demands continue to rise, dispensing operations are increasingly becoming a critical factor in production throughput. By optimizing dispensing programs and leveraging advanced process technologies, manufacturers can significantly improve UPH without sacrificing accuracy or reliability.

 

Turn a Challenge into an Opportunity

Continuous Path Motion Control, a standard feature of Canvas® and Fluidmove® software, is ideal for dispensing lines on component arrays where underfill and discrete encapsulation are required. It accommodates a variety of configurations and is specifically designed to enable continuous motion dispensing at high speeds when parts are small and close together. Instead of stopping to move between components, backtracking, ramping up to speed, dispensing, and decelerating, as in earlier dispensing applications, the jet maintains a continuous speed and direction throughout the process – improving UPH up to 50% or more depending on your application.*

 

Get Started with Continuous Path Motion Control

You can benefit from the UPH improvement that Continuous Path Motion Control delivers even if you have already taken initial steps to optimize your dispensing program.

To setup your program with Continuous Path Motion Control, do the following:

1. Launch Fluidmove and open an existing dispensing program.

2. Place your cursor at the beginning of the dispensing program and select Program > Process Commands > Begin Continuous.

3. Place your cursor at the end of the dispensing instruction and select Program > Process Commands > End Continuous.



4. Run your program.

* The example above illustrates a dispense time reduction of nearly 50%. Results can vary depending on your specific application. Please note that cycle time savings is not an exact reflection of UPH improvement, because the underfill process involves many steps including loading/unloading, detecting the fiducials, height sensing, and dispensing (or jetting), which includes both dispensing and non-dispensing movements.
