Operation

The LDS9000 Dispensing System uses a patented Linear Drive System (LDS) to transfer force from the drive motor to the syringe piston. The motor, lead screw and syringe piston are linked mechanically. Each attachment (gun to reservoir, gun to piston, piston to reservoir) is specifically designed to provide zero flexing in the system during a dispense. Simply put, zero flexing is what makes the LDS9000 the world’s most repeatable dispenser.

Once the dispense cycle is complete, a programmed mechanical pullback retracts the drive rod which is mechanically attached to the AirFreeTM piston. The combined action of the plunger with the preprogrammed forward steps, and pullback feature produces a highly repeatable deposit with no post-dispense ooze. A pause between forward and reverse motion can be programmed in for use with compressible fluids.

The inner diameter and length of the syringe barrel are used to calculate dispense volume. For example, the inner diameter of a 10cc syringe barrel measures 1.63cm. One forward step of the motor moves the drive rod/piston

.00127cm, resulting in .0026cc of fluid being displaced. With a 5cc barrel, it takes two steps to displace the same amount of fluid.

Flexible Control Cable

An electronic signal is sent via the electronic control cable that connects the dispense gun to the control box. The signal energizes the motor pushing the drive rod, attached to the piston, into the syringe barrel. The forward motion forces the fluid out to make a deposit.

Power Supply

The LDS9000 features a universal power supply. It automatically adjusts for input voltages ranging from 100 VAC to 240 VAC. There is no adjustment required by the user.
