Abstract:
A dispensing apparatus includes a frame having a gantry configured to provide movement in the X axis and Y axis directions, and first and second dispensing units coupled to the gantry and configured to dispense material onto a substrate. The second dispensing unit is coupled to the gantry by an automatic adjustment mechanism. The dispensing apparatus further includes a controller configured to control the operation of the gantry, the first dispenser, the second dispenser, and the automatic adjustment mechanism. The automatic adjustment mechanism is configured to move the second dispenser in the X axis and Y axis directions to manipulate a spacing between the first dispensing unit and the second dispensing. Methods of dispensing material on the substrate are further disclosed.

Claim (Index 1):
A dispensing apparatus comprising:\n a frame including a gantry configured to provide movement in X axis and Y axis directions, the gantry including a beam configured to move in the Y axis direction to achieve Y axis movement, the gantry further including a carriage mounted on the beam, the carriage being configured to move along the length of the beam in the X axis direction; a support coupled to the frame, the support being configured to support at least one electronic substrate under the gantry; a first dispenser and a second dispenser coupled to the carriage, the first dispenser and the second dispenser each being configured to dispense material, one of the first dispenser and the second dispenser being coupled to the carriage by an automatic adjustment mechanism; and a controller configured to control the operation of the gantry, the first dispenser, the second dispenser, and the automatic adjustment mechanism, wherein the automatic adjustment mechanism is configured to move the one of the first dispenser and the second dispenser in the X axis direction to adjust a spacing between the first dispenser and the second dispenser during a dispensing operation, and wherein the automatic adjustment mechanism includes a linear bearing secured to the carriage, a mounting block configured to ride along the linear bearing, coupled to the one of the first dispenser and the second dispenser, and a first linear drive motor assembly configured to move the mounting block along the linear bearing.
