Pump dispenses faster and more
accurately
Techcon Systems reckons it has just raised the bar for high-speed high-accuracy dispensing with the introduction of the TS8000 dual piston positive displacement (DPPD) pump.

Entry level for robotic placement
The TS3030 is a cost effective and flexible entry-level dispensing robot that allows manufacturers to upgrade and replace manual dispense processes.
Disposable valve cuts dispenser maintenance
A novel disposable micro valve completely removes the burden of maintenance, cleaning and repair in high-performance electronics and general manufacturing dispense applications.
Innovative system design is what separates the TS8000 from other positive displacement pumps.
The TS8000's superior functionality and speed are built on Techcon Systems' unique approach - using two pistons/cylinders integrated with one drive mechanism.
Dead time is eliminated because one piston/cylinder is being refilled while the other is dispensing.
When the first piston/cylinder is depleted, the other is ready to go.
The TS8000 automatically switches to the full piston/cylinder so the dispensing process is never slowed or compromised.
This exclusive design, which includes a patented reciprocating dual piston, also significantly reduces the mass of the dispensing head, which helps improve system speed and throughput.
In fact, the TS8000 delivers high flow rates that aren't possible with other pumps, and does so in any application where speed and accuracy are paramount.
The pump is perfectly suited for dispensing a wide range of fluids - from encapsulants to adhesives - making it the system of choice for electronics manufacturers working with advanced component packages such as CSPs and BGAs.
Capable of handling a viscosity range from 1 to more than 100,000,000 cps, the system's flow rate is never affected by changing viscosity.
The TS8000 dual piston positive displacement pump also incorporates closed loop encoder control/feedback for precise metering of fluid and dispense rate - as well as enhanced process control.
"The TS8000 brings superior dispensing performance, whether the job is dots, lines or fills", said Alfred Freire, Vice President and General Manager of Techcon Systems.
The system is accurate, fast, and amazingly efficient.
And for applications like flip chip underfill or encapsulation, and whenever higher throughput and accuracy are demanded, the TS8000 is the system of choice".
