A material dispensing pump includes a drip prevention system and method so as to avoid undesired dripping of the dispensed fluid. In one example, the fluid path is sealed. Positive pressure is applied to the fluid during a dispensing operation to present the fluid to the auger-style pump at a desired rate. Between dispensing operations, or when dispensing is completed, the fluid is placed in suspension, for example by applying a negative pressure, thereby preventing the fluid from being inadvertently released at the dispense tip. In addition, following a dispensing operation, the pump dispensing controller can be programmed to reverse the rotation of the feed screw, in order to draw the material in a reverse direction and to further suspend the fluid.

A liquid material discharge device includes: a plunger including a piston formed at a rear end a piston chamber in which the piston is disposed and to which pressurized gas is supplied; a pressure supply device that supplies, to the piston chamber, air pressurized in excess of the urging force of the elastic body, or that purges pressurized air out of the piston chamber, the liquid material discharge device discharging the liquid material from the discharge port by causing the plunger to move forward and applying an inertial force to the liquid material; a booster circuit that communicates the pressure supply device and an air source with each other, and the booster circuit includes a first and a second booster system including a booster valve and a pressure reducing valve, and a merging section in which the first booster system and the second booster system merge together.

A coating apparatus applies a liquid material to a surface of a target object using a coating needle. The coating apparatus includes a coating unit having a coating needle and a container to hold a liquid material, a driving device configured to move the coating needle up and down, a Z-axis table configured to move the coating unit up and down, and a controller configured to drive the driving device and the Z-axis table to perform a coating operation. The controller adjusts the coating amount of the liquid material by controlling the driving device and the Z-axis table in accordance with an operation parameter set corresponding to the coating unit attached.

A dispense tip constructed and arranged to communicate with a material dispensing pump comprises an elongated neck and a molded base having a first portion and a second portion opposite the first portion. The neck extends from the first portion of the base. The second portion is constructed and arranged to abut an outlet surface of the pump. An outermost region of the second portion of the base includes a compressible fluid-tight surface that compliantly conforms to the outlet surface when the dispense tip is mounted to the pump.

[Problem] To provide a droplet ejection device and a droplet ejection method with which a liquid material can be continuously delivered to an ejection head when the liquid material is delivered between arbitrary tanks. [Solution] Provided are a droplet ejection device and a droplet ejection method using the droplet ejection device, the droplet ejection device comprising a droplet ejection head; a supply tank that is in communication with a first positive pressure source; a collection tank that is in communication with a first negative pressure source; a replenishment tank that is in communication with the supply tank and the collection tank; an opening/closing valve A that opens and closes a flow passage communicating between the supply tank and the replenishment tank; an opening/closing valve B that opens and closes a flow passage communicating between the collection tank and the replenishment tank; a switching valve that switches communication between the replenishment tank and a second positive pressure source and communication between the replenishment tank and a second negative pressure source; and a control device, wherein the control device has an ejection mode in which a liquid material is ejected from the droplet ejection head, a replenishment mode in which the liquid material is delivered from the replenishment tank to the supply tank while the liquid material is delivered from the supply tank to the collection tank, and a collection mode in which the liquid material is delivered from the collection tank to the replenishment tank while the liquid material is delivered from the supply tank to the collection tank.

An apparatus and a method for dispensing a viscous adhesive for attaching a semiconductor die onto a substrate are provided, where the method comprises the steps of dispensing a volume of viscous adhesive from a nozzle onto the substrate and moving the nozzle away from the substrate such that an adhesive tail is formed between the nozzle and the volume of viscous adhesive. The method further comprises the steps of capturing multiple images of the adhesive tail with an imaging device as the nozzle is moving away from the substrate with an imaging device; and thereafter detecting with the imaging device an instant when the adhesive tail breaks from the volume of viscous adhesive.

A preliminary container upstream of a slurry container, a tube or pipe of a compressed air discharge line from the slurry container is inserted into the preliminary container, so that, even if a slurry flows back, the slurry is retained in the preliminary container and the slurry is prevented from flowing back upstream of the preliminary container. In addition, minute droplets are prevented from flowing back upstream, by using a protector, or an air-permeable screen.

A liquid agent application apparatus includes an application nozzle that is movable up and down and in a horizontal plane direction with respect to a board, an application valve that switch between a first state in which supply of a liquid agent to the application nozzle is performed and a second state in which the supply of the liquid agent to the application nozzle is stopped, and a control device that controls these. The control device performs control such that the application nozzle is lowered, the application valve is switched to the second state by standing by a predetermined time after switching the application valve to the first state at a predetermined supply start timing, and the application nozzle is raised after a timing at which a tip end of the application nozzle reaches a lowering end and the application valve is switched to the second state.

Due to the dynamic mechanical loads to which motor vehicle traction batteries are subjected, housings of battery cells of the traction batteries are covered at least in part by an electrically insulating layer made from a coating material. For this purpose, a method and a coating station for carrying out the method are proposed. The method is performed with a liquid electrically insulating coating material, by applying separately produced individual drops of the coating material using a coating applicator. The drops form coating points on an outer surface of the housing, which coating points are applied sequentially with the coating applicator, adjacently to one another or overlapping, so that together they form coating lines.

A reciprocating glue dispenser dispensing switch includes a switching device main body, a needle holding base, a sliding wear-resistant plate, and a driving device. The switching device main body is equipped with a double liquid inlet, the needle holding base is equipped with a mixed glue outlet, the sliding wear-resistant plate is installed between the switching device main body and the needle holding base, and the sliding wear-resistant plate is equipped with a sliding wear-resistant plate opening. The driving device is utilized to move the sliding wear-resistant plate. A mixed double-liquid glue passes through the double liquid inlet, the sliding wear-resistant plate opening and the glue outlet to dispense a mixed double-liquid glue while the double liquid inlet, the sliding wear-resistant plate opening and the glue outlet are overlapped.
