Filed:

Mar 28, 2003

Appl. No.:

10/402418

Inventors:

Patsy Anthony Mattero - Smithfield RI, US
Randy Leon Peckham - North Scituate RI, US
Gary Freeman - Beverly MA, US
Joseph A. Perault - Natick MA, US
Richard Willshere - Weymouth, GB

Assignee:

Speedline Technologies, Inc. - Franklin MA

International Classification:

B41L027/00

US Classification:

101123, 101124

Abstract:

A printer includes a print head for dispensing viscous material, such as solder paste. The print head defines a chamber and includes at least one source port and a dispensing slot. Within the chamber, a flexible membrane segregates the chamber into a dispensing region and an activation region. Viscous material flows from a supply mounted to the source port, into the dispensing region and out the slot. A displacement mechanism is positioned to displace the flexible membrane to reduce the volume of dispensing region and to thereby dispense viscous material through the slot. The print head also includes a removable envelope through which the viscous material flows and contacts as it passes through the envelope.

US Classification:

118708, 118323, 118712, 118302

Abstract:

A material deposition system for depositing materials on an electronic substrate with a material deposition system is disclosed. The deposition system includes a frame, a gantry system coupled to the frame, a deposition head coupled to the gantry system and configured to deposit dots of low viscous and semi-viscous material on the electronic substrate, and a controller configured to control the operation of the material deposition system, including the operation of the gantry system and the deposition head. The system is capable of depositing a line or a pattern of material on the electronic substrate by moving the deposition head along an axis of motion that is substantially non-parallel to a direction of the line or pattern. Other deposition systems and methods are further disclosed.

International Classification:

B41L 1318

US Classification:

101129, 101114, 101123, 118304, 118406

Abstract:

A printer includes a dispensing head for dispensing viscous material, such as solder paste. The dispensing head defines a chamber and includes at least one source port and a dispensing slot, wherein the viscous material flows from a supply mounted to the source port, into the chamber and out the dispensing slot. Within the chamber, a stirring mechanism is mounted. The stirring mechanism is coupled to a drive mechanism that displaces the stirring mechanism through the chamber, thereby stirring the viscous material. The stirring mechanism is particularly effective in preventing or reducing compaction of solder paste within the chamber.
