Patent ID: 8765212

Claim:
A method of operating a dispenser within a jetting system to dispense droplets of a fluid material at discrete dispense locations on each of a plurality of substrates, the method comprising: storing coordinates of all of the discrete dispense locations in a dispense location map and using the coordinates to create a single continuous motion path through all of the discrete dispense locations, with the single continuous motion path including directional changes and at least one nonlinear path segment; creating a corrected single continuous motion path through all of the discrete dispense locations; moving each substrate to a fixed position in the jetting system; and continuously moving the dispenser along the corrected single continuous motion path while changing directions without significant acceleration or deceleration, while depositing the droplets of the fluid material from the dispenser onto all of the discrete dispense locations of the dispense location map on each substrate, wherein prior to arriving at each discrete dispense location, a control signal is provided to the dispenser to initiate dispensing of each droplet.
