Software options are available to allow for path following of  3D CAD models or sketch patterns within a 3D model. Product models can be inserted into a simulated robot environment so that dispensing simulations can be generated offline. This enables the programmer to verify any axis limitations or collisions without taking the actual robot offline and prevents downtime of production. Dispense verification options are also available to ensure proper dispense bead width tolerances are met, alert upon dispense failure, or for traceability requirements. Bead reconstruction or repair can be done on the spot to prevent product waste and down time.

Musashi is the largest fluid dispenser manufacturer in Japan, and their wide line of dispensing products are frequently used in Asia’s electronics manufacturing industry—an industry that demands high-precision applications. Why do we favor Musashi dispenser products over brands that are better known in the U.S.? There are several important reasons:     ## Engineering expertise Musashi Engineering, Inc. was established in 1978, giving them nearly 40 years of experience in the automation world. But it’s not just longevity that matters here. Nearly half of Musashi’s 700 employees have an engineering background, meaning product design, development, and testing are all done with an expert eye.

You want to avoid wasteful mistakes while creating LED products that are perfectly consistent from production day to production day. Unfortunately, some of the more finicky steps of LED production pose challenges for consistency. This is especially true in the case of the potting of phosphors for white LEDs.

Choosing the right dispensing system can be difficult with such a wide range of equipment on the market, from high-speed systems that dispense adhesives and greases to precision-volume dispensers for chemicals.

However, if the liquids you’re trying to dispense have extremely high viscosities, or varying viscosity throughout the process (as in the case of some sealants, greases, waxes, or epoxies) a [mechanical dispensing system](https://www.izumiinternational.com/measuring-master-mpp-1) is probably the best fit for you. Here is an overview of mechanical dispenser systems (also called displacement systems): ## Consistency and Precision Because a pneumatic dispenser uses air pressure to dispense fluids, it will force out more fluid when it’s warm and less viscous, but less when it’s cooler and thicker. This is an issue if your process depends on consistent volume rates.  [Read More](https://info.izumiinternational.com/mechanical-dispensing-systems-and-their-benefits) 0 Comments [Click here to read/write comments](https://info.izumiinternational.com/mechanical-dispensing-systems-and-their-benefits#comments-listing) Topics: [Fluid Dispensing](https://info.izumiinternational.com/topic/fluid-dispensing) # [Benefits of Pneumatic Dispensing Systems](https://info.izumiinternational.com/benefits-of-pneumatic-dispensing-systems) Posted by [Emily Park](https://info.izumiinternational.com/author/emily-park) on Jan 20, 2017 8:12:00 AM - [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) [![](https://info.izumiinternational.com/hubfs/Product%20photos/musashi_air_pulse.jpg)](https://info.izumiinternational.com/benefits-of-pneumatic-dispensing-systems) *This post is the second in a series about fluid dispensing systems.* One of the most commonly used types of fluid dispensers in the world of manufacturing is the [pneumatic dispenser](https://www.izumiinternational.com/ml-5000xii-dispenser). As the name implies, these dispensers use a controlled, pressurized air source to force fluids out in either lines or dot patterns.

While it’s not quite as precise as a pneumatic dispenser system in terms of creating thin lines, the jet dispenser is a great option for creating even coatings (such as underfill for circuit boards). Its more sanitary nature is also opening up new opportunities in medical research and pharmaceutical production lines.
