Slim Line Height Sensor

Product catalog summary
Product Overview: The Slim Line Height Sensor by Asymtek is a retractable tactile height sensor designed for precise dispensing in wells or densely populated boards. It features a retractable probe that swings for quick needle changeovers and provides accurate surface sensing for high-quality dot and line dispensing.
Key Features:
  • Retractable probe for easy dispensing and quick needle changeovers.
  • Accurate surface sensing for consistent dispensing height.
  • Easy setup with software-prompted scripts.
  • High tolerance to extreme temperatures.
  • Light force probing suitable for delicate surfaces.
  • Compact design using surface mount components.
Functionality: The sensor compensates for substrate flatness variations to maintain consistent dispensing height. It uses a stainless steel touch probe that extends to contact the work surface, triggering an optical sensor to adjust the dispensing head's movement. The probe retracts after sensing, allowing the dispensing cycle to begin.
Operational Modes: Users can configure the probe to retract after each height sense or at every dispense point using Asymtek’s Fluidmove® for Windows NT® software.
Specifications:
  • Accuracy: ± 0.0508 mm with Z-axis velocity of 5.08 cm/sec.
  • Probe Diameter: 0.51 mm.
  • Probe Retract: 9.5 mm maximum, adjustable.
  • Probe Contact Force: 7 grams.
  • Environmental Range: 5-50°C, 5-95% RH.
  • Compatibility: All Asymtek systems.
Additional Information: Asymtek reserves the right to make design changes to improve product function. The company is ISO 9001:2000 certified and has received Intel Corporation’s 2003 SCQI Award.
Contact Information: For specific application requirements, contact Asymtek at their headquarters in Carlsbad, CA, or through their international sales offices in Europe, China, Japan, Korea, Southeast Asia, and Taiwan.

Slim Line Height Sensor-1

The Slim Line retractable height sensor from Asymtek compensates for variations in substrate flatness in order to maintain a consistent dispense height throughout the dispensecycle. It is ideal for dot and line applications where dispensing height accuracy is critical. When the dispense head is lowered toward the workpiece to begin dispensing, a stainlesssteel touch probe extends and gently contacts the worksurface. The probe triggersan optical sensor that causes the dispense head to decelerate its downward(Z-axis) movement, bringing the dispensing valves needle to its programmeddispensing height above theworkpiece. After performing the height sense, the probe retracts and the dispensing cycle begins.Users can operate the Slim Line Height Sensor in differentretract modes, using AsymtekҒs Fluidmove for WindowsNT > software. The probe can be reconfiguredto retract after each height sense, or to sense at every dispense point.The probe applies only 7 grams of force as it contactsthesubstrate. The low force minimizes substrate flexure andvibration, and avoids damage to delicate substrates. Other types of probes may be used when appropriate. The probe is easy to rotate out of the way for needle tip changes. Retractable probe fordispensing in wells or densely populated boards. Swings for quick needlechangeovers.
