Manual Mode

Program is ideally suited for priming the dispense tip and manual dispensing such as potting and beads. In manual mode the parameters and function of the parameters are exactly the same as program mode. The only difference is that the system will only dispense fluid for the amount of time the user holds the foot pedal down.

The Linear Drive System

AirFree PosiLokTM Piston—

The heart of AirFree dispensing

This unique design has made positive displacement with a barrel reservoir possible. Re-engineering the pneumatic piston concept, the high interference fit of the piston and the luer lock connection with the Linear Drive System enables intelligent dispensing. By increasing the interference between the O.D. of the piston and the I.D. of the barrel, we are able to completely seal the chamber eliminating material leakage. The luer lock connection provides complete control over forward and reverse motion. The intelligent control unit microprocessor knows the barrel I.D., the distance traveled forward and the distance traveled backward. With every dispense cycle the piston moves the exact distance every time, guaranteed. Drip-free dispensing, air pocket venting and all-plastic component dispensing are maintained with the new design.

The Dispense Gun—

The precision of AirFree dispensing technology

The motor used inside the dispense gun is a linear actuator. The linear actuator creates forward motion by rotating nut between electrically charged poles. The drive screw runs through the nut located at the center of the motor. The design of the plastic gun housing captures the top of the drive screw preventing it from rotation. When electrically charged, the center nut will step from one magnetic pole to the other, moving the drive screw forward. It is important to note that the drive screw not rotating allows the attachment of the PosiLokTM piston, creating the linear motion critical to positive displacement. By reversing the charge, we are able to create reverse motion.

Note:

LDAV one electrical pulse (motor step) = .0005"

MDAV one electrical pulse (motor step) = .00025"

SDAV one electrical pulse (motor step) = .000125"

LDS9000 specifications

The Fishman LDS9000 is a premium acoustic guitar pickup system that has garnered significant attention among musicians and sound engineers alike. This state-of-the-art system offers a range of features that enhance sound quality and control, making it a preferred choice for both live performances and studio recordings.

One of the standout features of the LDS9000 is its advanced under-saddle piezo pickup technology. This design minimizes feedback and maximizes tonal clarity, allowing for a more natural acoustic sound. The sensitivity of the piezo pickups captures the subtleties of each note, resulting in a rich, vibrant tone that resonates beautifully through amplifiers and PA systems.

The LDS9000 also incorporates a high-quality preamp, which amplifies the signal without introducing noise. This preamp offers a variety of controls, including volume, tone, and phase switch, giving players the ability to shape their sound in real-time. The phase switch is particularly valuable for live settings, as it helps eliminate feedback issues by reversing the phase of the signal.

Another noteworthy characteristic of the Fishman LDS9000 is its ease of installation. The system is designed to be user-friendly, allowing guitarists to install it without extensive modifications to their instrument. This makes it an ideal choice for both amateur and professional musicians who want to upgrade their sound without sacrificing their guitar's integrity.

Durability is a hallmark of the LDS9000, as it is built with robust materials designed to withstand the rigors of frequent use. The system's components are weather-resistant, ensuring reliability even in humid or extreme environments. This durability, combined with Fishman's reputation for quality, makes the LDS9000 a long-term investment for musicians looking to enhance their acoustic sound.

In summary, the Fishman LDS9000 offers an unparalleled blend of sound quality, ease of use, and durability. Its advanced piezo technology, high-quality preamp, and user-friendly installation make it a top choice for musicians seeking to elevate their acoustic performances. With the LDS9000, artists can confidently deliver a professional sound that truly reflects their musical vision. Whether on stage or in the studio, this pickup system is an essential tool for any serious acoustic guitarist.
