A dispensing system for dispensing material to form a line along the edge of an electronic substrate, the dispensing system comprising: - a frame; - a dispensing unit gantry movably coupled to the frame; - a dispensing unit (14, 16) coupled to the dispensing unit gantry, the dispensing unit (14, 16) being configured to deposit material onto the substrate during the dispense operation; - a vision system gantry coupled to the frame; - a vision system coupled to the vision system gantry, the vision system being configured to obtain one or more images of the electronic substrate prior to performing the dispense operation; and - a controller coupled to the dispensing unit gantry, the dispensing unit (14, 16),, the vision system gantry, and the vision system, the controller being configured: - to manipulate the vision system with the vision system gantry to move to the position defined by a feature on the substrate, said feature having a well-defined relationship to an edge of said substrate wherein an edge of said feature can be used to define a reference-line determining where to dispense material onto said substrate, - to acquire images of two portions of said edge of said feature, - to obtain a first coordinate associated with a first field of view and a second coordinate associated with a second field of view thereby establishing the endpoints (230,232) of said reference-line, and - to perform the dispense operation along said edge of said substrate to form said line. - a frame; - a dispensing unit gantry movably coupled to the frame; - a dispensing unit (14, 16) coupled to the dispensing unit gantry, the dispensing unit (14, 16) being configured to deposit material onto the substrate during the dispense operation; - a vision system gantry coupled to the frame; - a vision system coupled to the vision system gantry, the vision system being configured to obtain one or more images of the electronic substrate prior to performing the dispense operation; and - a controller coupled to the dispensing unit gantry, the dispensing unit (14, 16),, the vision system gantry, and the vision system, the controller being configured: - to manipulate the vision system with the vision system gantry to move to the position defined by a feature on the substrate, said feature having a well-defined relationship to an edge of said substrate wherein an edge of said feature can be used to define a reference-line determining where to dispense material onto said substrate, - to acquire images of two portions of said edge of said feature, - to obtain a first coordinate associated with a first field of view and a second coordinate associated with a second field of view thereby establishing the endpoints (230,232) of said reference-line, and - to perform the dispense operation along said edge of said substrate to form said line. - to manipulate the vision system with the vision system gantry to move to the position defined by a feature on the substrate, said feature having a well-defined relationship to an edge of said substrate wherein an edge of said feature can be used to define a reference-line determining where to dispense material onto said substrate, - to acquire images of two portions of said edge of said feature, - to obtain a first coordinate associated with a first field of view and a second coordinate associated with a second field of view thereby establishing the endpoints (230,232) of said reference-line, and - to perform the dispense operation along said edge of said substrate to form said line.
