Asymtek Introduces Jetting Capability for Dots for 0402-Sized Components

Carlsbad, CA — Asymtek announces a major dispensing breakthrough in jetting capabilities. The company’s award winning DispenseJet® valve now has the ability to jet dots for 0402 size component packages. As smaller chip and component sizes become more popular, the need for the ability to dispense minimal dot sizes increases. The jet plays an important role in this industry-wide trend by quickly and consistently jetting fluids without the limitations of traditional needle dispensing.

The DJ-2100 series jet eliminates obstacles to obtaining uniform dot size and shape typically found with traditional needle dispensing by eliminating the footed standoff, needle, and a dispense gap. The key to its success is a new needle and nozzle combination that includes an optimized pre-load, stroke length, spring setting and lower pressure.

Asymtek currently offers the DJ-2100 on its three advanced Surface Mount Technology platforms: the Century C-718, the new Axiom X-1010, and the ultra-high-performance Millennium M-2010. With the DispenseJet, each platform can shoot dots for the 0402 package size at the same rate used for larger components, so there is no sacrifice in throughput.

Asymtek's new small dot capability brings a new level of performance to the SMT market. The company continues to research trends in the electronics industry, and plans to be ready for the 0201 package when it hits mainstream assembly practices.

Asymtek supplies award-winning automated fluid dispensing systems to the semiconductor, surface mount, electronics packaging and industrial markets. Together, Asymtek and parent company Nordson Corporation (NASDAQ: NDSN) form one of the world's largest businesses dedicated to dispensing. Their unique partnering of applications engineering and product expertise is a solid testimonial of their commitment to offer total dispensing solutions and local support to customers throughout the world.
