The SmartDispenser® fluid dispensing system by Fishman Corporation utilizes AirFree® dispensing technology. It provides control and monitoring of a consistent repeatable assembly fluid deposit worldwide resulting in increased bottom line profits through higher productivity, fewer rejects, less fluid waste and lower production costs.
Here’s what some of our customers are saying about the SmartDispenser®:
“We had a need for a very repeatable and precise bead of cyanoacrylate to be placed on our medical part. Fishman’s SmartDispenser® provided the complete solution for us. The SmartDispenser ® gave us a consistent, accurate amount of adhesive, every time. Additionally, the SmartDispenser® met all of our automation requirements. Fishman’s Technical Application Experts worked closely with our system integrator to insure that both the SmartDispenser® and the 6 axis robot were synchronized to run exactly as our Process Engineers had designed it. The ability of the SmartDispenser® to be accessed remotely allowed the automation technicians, Fishman’s dispensing experts and our onsite engineers to collaborate in real time and properly configure the robot. Our previous attempts to address our dispensing operation with pneumatic dispensing systems failed and resulted in clogged tips and inconsistent volumes. As soon as we eliminated air from our process, everything fell into place. We now are meeting all of our production rates and our end product performance has exceeded our expectations.”

“I checked with the Plant and Division Engineering and they are delighted with the SmartDispenser® technology and will continue to apply this as the preferred technology for this application. As a company this location is currently the only location with this process so we do not see an opportunity to extend beyond this facility. Although, as you know the total of 37 units we currently have here continues to grow each quarter. It is our position to extend this technology if we find the opportunity to expand this operation in the future beyond this location. Additionally, they continue to consider this approach for other applications.”

“Yes, it’s easier to validate a Fishman compared to an EFD Dispenser, the SmartDispenser® stabilizes the fluid dispense process and then lets us replicate the process exactly from our US location to our Asia facilities. Electronic documentation by the SmartDispenser ® gives us tools we never had from a fluid dispenser. We use the SmartDispenser® as a Sales tool when engaging with our customers, they like the fact that it can be integrated with an analytical scale during our design process for testing and, as we move their product and process to manufacturability stages, they can monitor production yields and expect to see real time data and electronic reports.”
– Manager Process Engineering, Top EMS Provider for Medical Devices and Electronics
“The seven SmartDispensers® in China are used almost around the clock. Knowing that we can contact Fishman anytime via the Technical Service Icon on the dispenser touch screen, gives our remote operators the support they need in terms of questions about dispensing parameters, adhesives and immediate online training of new personnel.”
