Systems for dispensing fluid in a first fluid pattern at a first dispense region and in a second fluid pattern at a second dispense region on one or more electronic substrates are disclosed. The system includes a primary positioner, a secondary positioner providing movement in the X axis direction and the Y axis direction relative to the primary positioner, a first applicator for dispensing fluid while being moved by the primary positioner, a second applicator for dispensing fluid while being moved by the primary positioner and/or the secondary positioner, a camera, and a controller. The controller determines a position of the first dispense region and a position of the second dispense region, controls movement of the primary positioner and the secondary positioner, and controls the first and second applicators to simultaneously dispense the first and second fluid patterns onto the respective first and second dispense regions.

Methods for simultaneously dispensing a first fluid pattern at a first dispense region with a first applicator and a second fluid pattern at a second dispense region with a second applicator. The first and second applicators are moved toward their respective dispense regions with a positioner. While dispensing, the second applicator is moved relative to the first applicator in a direction or directions parallel to a first axis, a second axis, and/or a third axis, the axes being mutually orthogonal. The first dispense region may be provided with a unique first tilt and/or a unique first contour relative to the reference plane and along the third axis. Systems for dispensing fluid include a primary positioner supporting a first applicator, and a secondary positioner coupled to the primary positioner and supporting a second applicator and configured to move the second applicator relative to the first applicator.

A window sealing system and method for use in sealing insulating glass units (IGUs) is disclosed herein. The system includes an articulating arm having a plurality of members and arms to allow movement about multiple axes defined by the articulating arm, and a sealant dispensing apparatus releasably couplable to the articulating arm. The sealant dispensing apparatus comprises a pivotable dispensing apparatus for dispensing sealant onto an IGU. The system further including a vision system, coupled to the sealant dispensing apparatus, for monitoring physical properties of the sealant during sealant application.

A vehicle tire dressing machine comprises a longitudinal linear guide system and a lateral linear guide system. The longitudinal linear guide system is adjacent and parallel to a transport conveyor for a vehicle having a vehicle tire, and the longitudinal linear guide system has a drive motor and is adapted for reciprocal motion thereon.

Among arbitrary positions on the course of a sealing gun, a position ahead of and separated from the arbitrary position in the moving direction of the sealing gun by a given distance, where an application part falls within a given allowable size in a direction perpendicular to the moving direction on the basis of the sealing gun, is a first position, and a position where the application part is deviated from the allowable size is a second position. A control device corrects the course of the sealing gun that is defined by an operation plan, based on the shape of the application part measured in a measurement point located at the first position.

A vehicle tire dressing machine comprises a longitudinal linear guide system and a lateral linear guide system. The longitudinal linear guide system is adjacent and parallel to a transport conveyor for a vehicle having a vehicle tire, and the longitudinal linear guide system has a drive motor and is adapted for reciprocal motion thereon.

A method of depositing material on an electronic substrate with a dispensing system includes acquiring images of adjacent features, assigning programmed search boxes to edges of the features, identifying programmed edges of the features, for each feature identifying an intersection point of the programmed edges, determining a centerline from the intersection point, determining a midpoint of the, determining an intersect command for a dispense operation between the first component and the second component, and performing the dispense operation.

A hot melt adhesive system includes an adhesive supply for receiving solid or semi-solid hot melt adhesive, and a heater associated with the adhesive supply for melting the solid or semi-solid hot melt adhesive into liquid hot melt adhesive. An adhesive tracking system monitors an output of the liquid hot melt adhesive, and includes a flow meter having a flow inlet and a flow outlet. The flow meter measures an amount of the adhesive flowing out of the flow outlet. A product detector may be used to sense a presence of a product to which the adhesive is applied. A controller then determines the total amount of the liquid adhesive dispensed and the average amount of liquid adhesive dispensed per product.

An embodiment of the present invention prevents a defect from occurring in a joint portion, in a case where a film is produced by processing a film original sheet including the joint portion. A coating device carries out processing in different manners, respectively, for a joint portion of a first porous film original sheet and a second porous film original sheet and for portions other than the joint portion.

Disclosed is a workpiece processing apparatus that performs a predetermined processing on a workpiece. The workpiece processing apparatus includes: a workpiece table configured to place the workpiece thereon; a processor configured to process the workpiece placed on the workpiece table; a movement mechanism configured to relatively move the workpiece table and the processor; a position measuring device configured to measure a position of the movement mechanism; a detector configured to detect a position of the workpiece placed on the workpiece table; and a corrector configured to calculate a positional correction amount of the workpiece table based on a measurement result of the position measuring device and a detection result of the detector.
