F or best results , set the dispense rate to slow , to minimize backpressure in the syringe . As a beginning point, set drawback to 5 steps K eep delay set [...]

18 Suggested Tips • The faster you dispense the more backoff you will need. That’s because the speed at which the piston is tra veling exceeds the flow rate of the material out of the dispense tip . Therefore , creating internal pressure . More reverse motion is required to get the internal reservoir pressure back to zero . W e recommend you st[...]

19 Operating Tips Components • Always use Fishman AirFree™ barrel reservoirs and dispense tips . Safely dispose after use . This method prevents contamination, ensures proper safety and provides maximum cleanliness . • The heart of the Linear Drive System (LDS) is the AirFree™ piston.

23 Defining the System Drawback: Upon completion of the dispense cycle , fluid oozing out of the dispense tip is a common problem when dispensing compressible fluids . The Dra wback parameter eliminates any oozing by implementing a mechanically reversed action at the end of the dispense cycle . Because the system is intelligent, it knows the distan[...]

24 Manual Mode Program is ideally suited for priming the dispense tip and manual dispensing such as potting and beads . In manual mode the parameters and function of the parameters are exactly the same as progr am mode . The only difference is that the system will only dispense fluid for the amount of time the user holds the foot pedal down. The Li[...]

25 Defining the System Retaining Ring— The brawn of the AirF ree dispensing technology The multi-legged stainless steel design locks the syringe in place , making the syringe and gun one . In dispensing, any flexing between the barrel reservoir and surface to which it is secured represents a pressure loss and will change the amount of fluid dispe[...]

26 With the power ON, here’ s what happens when you press the foot pedal: The program is engaged, the motor is energized beginning the dispense cycle countdown. The motor pushes the lead screw , with piston attached to the end, down the barrel pushing the liquid out the dispensing tip . At the end of the program, the motor is de-energized—stopp[...]

27 Tr oubleshooting Problem: The fluid continues to ooze long after the dispense, (including drawback) is completed. Po t e n tial Solutions: •Check the needle size . The unpredictable nature of the pneumatic drive system has forced customers to use the needle as a flow control. What this means is that they use an ultra small (25G) needle to cont[...]
