Autodrop System

The Autodrop electronics system is designed for the automated operation of the Microdrop Dispenser Heads and Pipettes.

The modular concept allows the application of up to 8 individual dispenser units. In combination with a PC it is a comfortable unit which can be used as a tabletop device or integrated into the Autodrop Professional Positioning System with the advantage of an ideal solution for high precision inkjet printing.

Depending on the configuration the system can be used as a pipetting robot or as a dispenser head system.

Each dispenserhead is individually controlled by the dispenser driver unit. The dispenser head settings can easily be adapted to the applied liquids. 
The comprehensive software allows simple operation of the Autodrop System for all of its functions.

Microdrop dispenser heads function according to the same principle as an inkjet printer with a piezo-electrical print head. The liquid is fed through a capillary tube. To emit a droplet, a mechanical impulse is imparted to the liquid column by a piezo ceramic. At the nozzle tip a micro fine droplet is generated, which departs from the dispenser head at high 
speed.

The size of the drop (15-120μm) depends on the capillary opening and driving mode. Electronic control of the dispenser heads ensures a high level of dispensing precision as to volume, timing and placement. The procedure can be observed with the help of an integrated stroboscopic LED.
