OVERVIEW
Model DC100 MAX Digital Dispenser
The DC100 MAX is a versatile, high precision dispenser designed to achieve exceptional levels
of process stability in critical dispense
applications: from microdot deposits and precise
beads, to potting and encapsulation. The advanced user-friendly dispense software features
a wide range of intelligent functions, allowing the user to maximize accuracy, control and
monitoring of their dispensing process.
Programmable alarms can be set to notify the user when fluid material life has ended, or when
fluctuations in the dispensing pressure have occurred. The sequence function enables the
dispense time to be changed at pre-set time intervals or shots. This ensu
res consistent
dispense results from the start to finish of the process, due to fluid viscosity changes or
reduction in the syringe fluid level being accounted for.
•Digital dispensing parameters, precision regulator, vacuum control and high flow solenoid ensure
high accuracy repeatable dispense results.
•16 programmable memory slots
•5 dispense modes (Purge, Teach, Timed, Time+, Cycle)
•Multilingual Display, digitally displaying dispense time, pressure and vacuum
•13 channel I/O circuit for external program change, dispense actuation, machine status and alarm
monitoring & signaling.
•I/O test mode
•Momentary or Latching shot actuation signal
•RS232 port for external control, monitoring and programming of dispense parameters
•Internal pressure and vacuum calibration function
•Operator lockout function prevents dispense programs and functions from being modified
•Pressure and Vacuum alarm for maintaining consistent dispense parameters
•
Auto-purge cycle and glue alarm prevents premature curing when dispensing 2K fluid materials
•

(560567) is recommended to ensure the input air supply is clean and dry.
If corrosive or flammable fluids are being used, a syringe barrel adapter head
assembly with inline filter must be used, to help prevent the fluids from being
sucked back into the machine.
The fluid being dispensed may be toxic and / or hazardous. Refer to the Material
Safety Data Sheet for proper handling and safety precautions.
Do not smoke or use near an open flame when flammable materials are being
dispensed.
Do not expose the machine directly to sunlight.
Avoid cleaning the machine with aggressive solvents – neutral detergents are
preferred.
Do not overfill the barrel and/or lay the barrel on its side. This will prevent fluids
from flowing back into the machine – refer to figures A& Bbelow.
DC100 MAX Malfunction
If the machine malfunctions, shut down the machine immediately. This can be
done by either pressing the power button on the front of the machine or
disconnecting the power cord.
Always use a piston with the barrel to prevent fluids from flowing back into the
machine
When dispensing low viscosity fluids that require the vacuum be aware not to
increase to a point where fluids begin to run back into the air line potentially
reaching the control box. The vacuum should not be set too high or it will cause
material to creep backwards.

When not being used, the syringe barrel
should be placed in the syringe barrel stand
provided. This will prevent the dispense tip from being accidentally damaged or having fluid
inside the syringe barrel flow back into the machine if it is placed horizontally on the work
surface.
The bottle it is placed into, allows any fluid that drips from the dispense tip to be safely
captured. The dispense tip is also protected in the bottle from any foreign contaminants or
environmental lighting that may affect the properties of the fluid within it.
4.
Purge trays are provided with the syringe stand to allow for a small amount of fluid to be
purged into a clean and contained location. This is also helpful when a new dispense tip is
attached to the syringe barrel or when checking for accurate fluid material flow. This is helpful
for ensuring optimum dispense results.
