Claim 14:
15. A method for dispensing fluids by a dual dispensing system, the method comprising:
obtaining one or more images of a first substrate and a second substrate;
identifying, based on the one or more images, a first location of a first substrate and a second location of a second substrate;
providing first instructions to a first plurality of drive mechanisms, wherein the first plurality of drive mechanisms is configured to actuate a primary positioner in a first direction, a second direction, and a third direction, wherein the first direction, the second direction, and the third direction are orthogonal to each other, and wherein the primary positioner carries a first applicator;
providing second instructions to a second plurality of drive mechanisms, wherein the second plurality of drive mechanisms is configured to actuate a secondary positioner in the first direction, the second direction, and the third direction, wherein the secondary positioner carries a second applicator, wherein:
movement of the primary positioner in the first direction causes movement of secondary positioner in the first direction,
movement of the primary positioner in the second direction causes movement of the primary positioner in the second direction, and
movement of the primary positioner in the third direction causes movement of the secondary positioner in the third direction;
in response to determining the first substrate comprises a tilt, actuating, by the first plurality of drive mechanisms, the primary positioner to adjust for the tilt while dispensing a first fluid, from the first applicator, onto the first substrate; and
in response to determining the second substrate comprises a contour, actuating, by the second plurality of drive mechanisms, the secondary positioner to adjust for the contour while dispensing a second fluid, from the second applicator, onto the second substrate.
