An SMT (Surface Mount Technology) glue dispenser machine is used primarily in electronics manufacturing to automate the precise application of adhesive onto printed circuit boards (PCBs) or electronic components during assembly. It dispenses glue in controlled, accurate amounts to specific locations such as dots, lines, arcs, or complex tracks to ensure optimal adhesion and mechanical stability of components on the PCB. This automation replaces the previously manual glue application, improving speed, consistency, and reducing human error in high-volume production environments.
The machine is essential for processes where components, especially heavy or sensitive ones like power modules, connectors, or semiconductor packages, need to be securely glued to withstand mechanical stresses and improve product reliability. It enables dot, line, or pattern dispensing of adhesives like epoxies, silicones, or other liquids with high precision and minimal waste. Features often include automatic visual positioning (CCD systems), programmable dispensing parameters, temperature control for the glue, and high repeatability to ensure uniform adhesive application across many units.
In summary, an SMT glue dispenser machine is used to dispense adhesive precisely and efficiently on PCBs to secure components, improve mechanical strength, and enable faster and more reliable electronics assembly
