Program Mode
Program mode is ideally suited for dot type applications or automated
(XYZ system) beads. This mode allows you to program a desired volume of
fluid for repeated and consistent output. In the program mode there are
two utilities. Program Manager and the Save/Restore Manager.
Utility 1: Program Manager
The Program Manager has five adjustable parameters:
• Barrel Selection
• Dispense Volume
• Dispense Rate
• Drawback
• Drawback Delay
Barrel Selection:
The selection of the proper barrel is critical to positive
displacement dispensing. For the best results always select the
smallest barrel reservoir that will work for your application. To
minimize set up time we preprogrammed the control unit using
standard Fishman luer lock barrels. Simply select the proper size
(3,5,10,30) and move to the next parameter.
Dispense Volume:
Having the ability to enter a dispense volume is what separates the
LDS9000 from traditional pneumatic dispensing systems. Our
patented technology allows us to apply a formula based on the
syringe’s inner diameter and the distance traveled by the PosiLok
TM
piston to arrive at the desired volume. This method drastically
reduces the amount of time consumed by the guesswork of the
pneumatic systems.
Dispense Rate:
This is an important parameter that allows the LDS9000 to
dispense a wide range of material. By altering the speed at which
the Linear Drive System travels down the barrel, we can dispense
non-compressible to thixotropic materials with little to no impact
on rheology. The microprocessor calculates dispense rate in the cc
per second.
