Controls

Controllers play a vital role in modern dispensing systems by providing the necessary automation and precision for the dispensing process. These devices serve as the brain of the system, regulating the parameters that govern how fluid is dispensed, ensuring consistency, accuracy, and efficiency. In conjunction with dispense valves, controllers enable both manual and automated dispensing applications, making them indispensable in industries requiring precise fluid handling.

A core function of a controller is to manage parameters like shot size, dispensing time, pressure, and flow rate. For manual applications, operators can adjust these settings to control the volume or amount of fluid dispensed per shot, as well as the duration of the dispensing cycle. This is especially important in applications where small and controlled quantities of fluid are critical, such as in medical device assembly, semiconductor manufacturing, or food packaging.

In more advanced or automated systems, controllers are programmed to execute complex dispensing tasks with minimal human intervention. These automated systems can be programmed with specific dispensing patterns, such as continuous flow, intermittent pulses, or precise shot sizes at specified intervals. This type of control is ideal for high-speed production lines or processes that require high repeatability and consistency.
