Bench dispensing tools are a broad category of equipment designed for manual or semi-automated dispensing on a workbench. They are ideal for low-volume production, R&D, and applications that require a human operator’s finesse. They offer a balance of precision, portability, and ease of use.
Common examples include:
- Digital Dispensers: These units use a controlled air pulse to dispense fluid from a syringe barrel, with a digital timer for accurate and repeatable shots. They often have a “suck-back” feature to prevent dripping.
- Syringe Dispenser Stands: A simple but effective accessory that holds a syringe barrel and valve, allowing the operator to use a foot pedal to control dispensing, freeing up both hands for manipulating the workpiece.
- Peristaltic Pumps: Used for dispensing low-viscosity fluids, these pumps work by squeezing a tube to move fluid without any contact between the pump and the material, making them suitable for sterile or sensitive liquids.
- Handheld Dispensers: Devices that allow an operator to manually dispense material from a cartridge or syringe with a trigger, providing direct control for sealing, potting, and other manual application processes.
