Pistesyttimien

Pistesyttimien, often translated as "point feeders" or "dot feeders," is a Finnish term referring to a type of industrial or automated dispensing system. These systems are designed to precisely deliver small, discrete amounts of liquids or viscous materials onto a surface or into a specific location. They are commonly used in manufacturing and assembly processes where accuracy and consistency are crucial.

The core function of a pistesyttin is to control the volume, placement, and timing of dispensed material. This is typically achieved through various dispensing technologies, such as needle dispensing, valve dispensing, or piston dispensing, each suited for different material viscosities and application requirements. The systems often incorporate programmable logic controllers (PLCs) or robotic arms to ensure precise movement and accurate deposition.

Applications for pistesyttimien are diverse. They are found in the electronics industry for applying solder paste or adhesives to circuit boards, in the automotive sector for sealing or lubrication, and in the medical device industry for precise application of biocompatible materials. The ability to automate these tasks leads to increased production speed, reduced material waste, and improved product quality. The term itself emphasizes the action of delivering material in distinct points or dots, highlighting the precision of the operation.
