History

Founded in 1983 by Robert Ciardella, Alec Babiarz, and Philip Maiorca, Asymtek has grown to become a world leader in automated fluid dispensing systems. In the mid 1970's, the three founders worked together in research and development of computer peripheral products, including jet printers. They identified what is now called "benchtop automation" and aimed their efforts at the precise benchtop automated fluid dispensing assembly market — a step up from using hand-held syringes for dispensing glues in mechanical assembly.

Markets

Our customers use our dispensing products for semiconductor packaging and printed circuit board assembly, flat panel display assembly, electronic component assembly as well as automotive, medical, biotech, aerospace, appliance and other industrial manufacturing. We also supply motion control systems for use in other automation equipment. Asymtek equipment dispenses fluids on familiar products from companies such as Advanced Micro Devices, Amkor, ASE, Black & Decker, Bose, Breed Automotive, Celestica, Delco-Delphi, Denso Manufacturing, Ericsson, Flextronics, Hewlett-Packard, IBM, Lucent, Medtronics, Motorola, Murata, Nokia, Philips, Radisys, Regina, Seagate Technology, Scientific Atlanta, Siemens, Solectron, SPIL, Standard Motor Products, and Stratasys. Materials dispensed include adhesives, epoxies, pastes, and sealants in the assembly process.

Products

Asymtek products range from benchtop dispensers to fully automated, in-line, conveyorized systems. These systems are designed by integrating electronics, mechanics, firmware, and software with dispensing technology. The systems are flexible and easy to program through a personal computer to meet a wide range of manufacturing requirements. All systems dispense a wide variety of fluids, including glues, epoxies, solder pastes, surface mount adhesives, and gasketing materials. See our Products section for more details.
