The Design and Modeling of Jetting Dispenser Actuated by Dual Piezostack Actuator
This article presents performance results of a novel jetting dispenser system actuated dual piezostack actuators. The proposed piezo jetting dispenser system consists of a couple of piezostack actuators, lever mechanism, and needle part. The proposed dispenser can provide a very small dispensing dot size of high viscous adhesive, 10,000cp at 100°C, at a high dispensing flow rate in semi-conductor packaging processes. After describing the mechanism and operating principle of the proposed dispenser, a mathematical model of the system is obtained by considering behaviors of the piezostack, the return spring, the dispensing needle, and the adhesive fluid dynamics. For the computer simulation, the specific geometric dimensions of the proposed jetting dispenser are chosen in order to achieve operation requirements: needle motion amplitude: up to 0.15 mm; operating frequency: up to 500 Hz. With the high viscosity conditions, the dispensed amount of the adhesive and the maximum displacement of the piezo and the needle at 500Hz are evaluated in time domain.
