Abstract
An automated dispensing system and method for dispensing a viscous liquid material along a dynamic dispensing path. In a first scan, a scanning apparatus determines a dispensing path. A dispensing apparatus dispenses the viscous liquid material along the dispensing path. In an optional second scan, the scanning apparatus measures a dimension of the dispensed material. Object not meeting an acceptable liquid height are rejected.
Claims8
