Helpful Hints
• There are three core variables to the Ultimus: dispense time, pressure, and
vacuum. Adjust just one of these at a time, in small increments, to achieve your
ideal deposit.
• Another important variable is tip size. Choose the right tip for the deposit type.
Remember, smaller tips require more pressure and more time. Try different tips
without changing the time or pressure settings and observe the results.
• Tapered tips reduce the amount of air pressure needed to dispense thick
materials. They also help prevent drooling at the end of a dispense cycle.
• Use EFD SmoothFlow™pistons to prevent oozing. Pistons also make barrel
loading, dispensing, and fluid handling cleaner, safer, and more accurate.
• Avoid high pressure (example: 5.5 bar / 80 psi) with very short time settings (less
than 000.0100 seconds). The ideal setup matches air pressure and tip size to
produce a “workable” flow rate — no splashing but with a time setting that is not
extremely low.
• Longer dispense time settings generally provide the highest accuracy.
• Purge the dispense tip. From STEADY mode, press the foot pedal until
material flows from the tip.
• Return to TIMED mode.
• Press the foot pedal once to begin your next dispense cycle.
Hold the tip at a 45º angle to the work surface.
