Better process control with marco's marc1 GantrySystem
15. 03. 2024 | The marc1 GantrySystem, enhanced by StepDot or other marco piezo valves such as the sJet, is a versatile dispensing robot following precise paths and curves in all axes. It dispenses precise amounts of materials like solder paste, silver epoxy or underfill. The marc1 GantrySystem combines innovative robot technology with a sophisticated dispensing control system, the Dispensing Control Unit (DCU), which controls both dispensing and motion simultaneously. This feature is unique in the dispensing industry.
Key advantages for users include:
• Cost Savings: Its precision in dispensing materials minimizes waste and lowers production costs by reducing the use of expensive inputs.
• Increased Productivity: Capable of handling up to 13 kg and achieving high-speed dispensing with up to 3g accelerations, it ensures rapid production cycles without sacrificing quality.
• Versatility and Flexibility: Its compact and modular design, combined with a large work area, supports flexibility in applications and easy customization. Pre-installed interfaces facilitate the addition of tools like wiper belts and look-up cameras, allowing the system to adapt to changing production needs.
• Ease of Use: A user-friendly interface with a swivelling HMI touch display and a foldable keyboard streamlines operation and training.
• Precision and Quality Control: A patented water-cooling system maintains temperature stability, ensuring consistent precision and product quality.
• Integration and Accessibility: The design with various openings allow an easy integration into production lines.
Adopting the marc1 GantrySystem enhances efficiency, reduces operational costs, and offers the flexibility needed to meet varied and evolving production requirements.
