1. SAFETY INSTRUCTION
Caution about the main unit
Only use this robot with correct rated voltage and frequency (refer to the markings on the back of equipment).
Do not move the XY moving plate and the top head, by hand. This will protect them from damage.
During processing, do not touch the moving parts.
Before use, check the heating controller and pressure reduction valve have been fastened reliably (if fitted).
Keep the unit dry. Do not use or disconnect the equipment with wet hands.
If an emergency event occurs, press the emergency switch (red) immediately. The main unit will cut off the
power and stop processing the dispensing file.
Caution about the power cord
This machine is equipped with a 3-wire grounding plug and must be plugged into a 3-terminal grounded socket.
Do not modify the plug or use an ungrounded power socket. If an extension cord is necessary, use only a 3-wire
extension cord that provides grounding.
Do not turn on the power of the machine if any parts are damaged, especially if the power cord is damaged.
Caution about the teaching pendant
Do not connect the teaching pendant during a profile. When disconnecting the teaching pendant, loosen and
remove the fixing screws and then pull out it, once the profile has finished.
For protecting the teaching pendant, from damage, do not drop it on the floor or shake it intensively.
Caution about the air supply
Ensure the air flow is dry and clean. Select a suitable air pressure according the application. Suggested air
pressure is no more than 100 psi (6.9bar).
During use, do not over bend or over rotate the air tubes.

2. SUMMARY
This desktop robot is designed for the automated operation for dispensing fluid. It is a fully automatic and features
a high-resolution control system with 3 axis. This unit provides the operator with easy programming instructions,
increased parameters, a larger memory space and a higher speed, which highly improves productivity.
Note: the illustration may have some differences with each application. The dispensing equipment, such as a
dispensing valve, syringe, cartridge, etc. are optional.
2.1 Features
Comprehensive 3-dimensional drawing support, such as 3-dimensional linear interpolation, capabilities of
teaching 3D graphics and user-defined 3D array.
Capability to save mass files.
User-defined array function: easy solution for mould deviation. Supports user-defined 3D array. Smoothing
functions of changing speed and hi-speed trajectory whilst moving. User-definable speed parameters.
Group function: this function allows operators to copy, delete, modify, array, and pan multi-points.
Advanced teaching pendant that supports functions, such as array, group edit, sub-procedure, condition-call
procedure etc.
Unique merge function: easy resolution to process complex multi-layers, irregular array and non-array graphics.
Multiple processing modes, such as single-step operation, overall processing and automatic loop processing.

To complete a process file there needs to be three steps: program-adjust-process. For detailed operation refer to
the “operation manual of the teaching pendant”.
Program: The method of teaching a program.
Adjust: Adjusting the programming file, such as origin calibration, slant array, height adjusts, file
parameters adjust (including speed, acceleration, delay time, distance etc.)
Process: Download the program file to the system, from the teaching pendant.
The program is now complete and can be initiated.

Note:
The function settings of input & output cannot be accessed by the operator. It can only be operated by the
manufacturer.
Will not give advanced information if some functions are changed.
3.5 Operation For First Time Use
If using the unit for the first time, the operator should test the basic functionalities.
Step 1: Install and Test
Before using, the operator should properly install and connect the system. The operator should test the basic
functionalities of the system with the ‘Test’ function on the teaching pendant. Test should include if there are any
problems with the axis movements towards positive or negative directions.
Step 2: Parameters Setting
Correctly set the global parameters and other parameters being used in the process.
Remark: Failure to properly set the parameters will cause difficulties in using the system.
Step 3: Teaching Program
Program a profile with teaching pendant. Refer to the instruction manual of the teaching pendant.
Step 4: Origin Calibration & Setting the Parameters of the Teaching Pendant
1. Origin calibration: The operator should adjust the start point when a teaching file is created for the first time.
2. Set file parameters.
Step 5: Download & Process
1. Download: refer to instruction manual of the teaching pendant “Teaching File Download”.
2. Process: refer to instruction manual of the teaching pendant “File Processing”.
This manual suits for next models
