Abstract:
Systems and methods for inspecting and cleaning a nozzle of a dispenser are disclosed. The systems may include a platform supporting a cleaning substrate. The cleaning substrate may have a plurality of hook structures configured to remove a material from the nozzle. The systems may also include a camera configured to capture an image of the nozzle and a controller configured to control the system. The methods may include providing a cleaning substrate having a plurality of hook structures, and moving at least one of the nozzle and the cleaning substrate relative to the other to remove a material from the nozzle. The methods may also include capturing an image of the nozzle after dispensing with a camera, processing the image to generate a value, utilizing the value to determine if the nozzle should be cleaned, and if the determination is that the nozzle should be cleaned, cleaning the nozzle.

Claim (Index 16):
The system of  claim 13 , further comprising a controller configured to generate one or more signals to:\n dispense a fluid or viscous material from the nozzle, actuate the camera to capture an image of the nozzle, process the image to generate a value, utilize the value to determine if the nozzle should be cleaned, and if the nozzle should be cleaned, move at least one of the nozzle and the cleaning substrate relative to the other to remove material from the nozzle with the hook structures.
