Page 14: Programming
PROGRAMMING Aim Dispense Node Programming the unit Select the Program tab and select URCaps > Dispense Node In the Program tree; insert moves and waypoint to define the dispensing path * Select Dispensing speed (normally start with 25 microlitre). If necessary, select Pullback, which holds back the fluid to ensure more precise dispensing at end of path or to prevent fluid 'hanging' from the nozzle after dispensing.
Page 15: Circles
PROGRAMMING Programming CIRCLES To program circles select the button. In the Program tree the Set Circle move has been inserted. Enter Circle Radius and select Center Point to define the center of the circle. After entering the Robot speed and Robot Acceleration press Move to start. This will be the point where the robots starts dispensing the circle.
Page 16: Waves
PROGRAMMING Programming WAVES To program waves select the button. In the Program tree the Set Wave move has been inserted. Enter Wave Count (amount of waves between start and end point) Enter Wave Width Press Add Start-End to select the start and end point of the line for the wave to follow The wave curve is also dependant on the robots movements.
Page 17: Pre-Feed Node
PROGRAMMING Aim Pre-Feed Node This node can be used if the PullBack command is also used. When adding a pullback it 'returns' a little fluid in the nozzle. In order for the next path to start dispensing at the start point defined the PreFeed will start the dispensing the just before the path starts to ensure the fluid is ready at the tip of the nozzle for a smooth start.
Page 18: Installation Node / Purge Cycle
PROGRAMMING Aim Installation Node / Purge Cycle Select the Installation tab and select URCaps > Aim In Setup you can activate the Purge Cycle and the connected inputs (Purging speed, time and waiting time). These options are only available if the Purge Cycle has been activated.
Page 19: Purge Node
PROGRAMMING Aim Purge Node This node will run in the program tree, if inserted. This can be used to ensure the fluid does not harden in the tip while the program is running or to wipe the tip. The parameters and the Purge Point must be defined in the Purge Node. Select Purge Point in the program tree.
Page 20: Safety
Define path to and from the dispensing path Define path to and from the purge point Sharp objects The FD400 can be equipped with nozzles and needles to dispense as desired. Caution should be taken when using these attachments, because they can puncture your skin.
