Some applications demand high throughput that traditional batch mode machines like NPT's CP systems cannot supply. To address this need, NPT's ICP systems can be married to a rotary indexer so that concurrent operations can be done. Operator load/unload no longer adds to the overall cycle time as parts are loaded/unloaded on a separate "leaf" from the dispensing work area. The rotary indexer can be outfitted with a grid fixture to allow flexible palleting options, and each "leaf" can address a process - UV cure stations, inspection stations, and even other dispensing stations. Modular design allows the user to add leaf operations over time, as the production environment dictates.

More advanced processes can be incorporated as well: automated part load and unload, scanning, and even integration with automated molding machines is possible.

    New Precision Technology's System Software now includes a 3D graphic path view. Pattern paths can now be simulated on-screen, reducing the need for "going wet for test." The mode facilitates the creation of new pattern paths, showing the current programmed points and the current active head ("tip") location. This advance represents yet another incremental step in New Precision Technology's pursuit of easy-to-use interfaces married to advanced production techniques.

    New Precision Technology announces true 3D planar correction! With the measurement of three points on a part, the CP System software can re-orient a part path for best-fit, further decreasing potential reject rates. Capable of being used with either tactile or laser based measurement systems, this easily incorporated feature brings added value to a system essential for quality gasket dispensing.

    This handy tool allows prospective customers to input the parameters of their application and receive recommended NPT machine setups. Multiple machine setups will be generated stressing either : overall machine cost, cost-per-part basis, or accuracy/reject rate. The tool is very user-friendly with tips for each input box and pictures to describe the desired parameter. If a parameter is unknown, it can be skipped and a default value will be used if available. Multiple projects can be saved for later viewings and can be updated at any time. Tool results will also display material consumption and show the rapid return-on-investment that NPT solutions offer.

This tool is available only to registerred users through the members tab on our web site. If you are not a member, simply register as a new member. While new members can enter all parameters, only verified registrants have web access to the final analysis. A simple phone call can verify your account and within seconds you will have access to the analysis.

    Our newest calibration routines offer a simple, accurate calibration procedure to establish the relationship between all working heads - dispense, measurement, programming, and manipulation. By leveraging our needle calibration station, we can now calibrate tactile height sensors as well, establishing a perfect relationship between target substrates and dispense tips. Say good-bye forever to slips of paper and feeler gauges that were part of precision gasketing.
