It’s all about speed
High-speed dispensing redefined: Speed has long been more than just an efficiency factor in series production of industrial and automotive electronics. It is also an engine for innovation and a crucial element in determining competitiveness.
What if technology can redefine speed?
The new generation of dispensing solutions starts right here:
- Three times faster.
- Consistent accuracy.
- Measurable reduction in material loss.
Plus simple, fast plug & produce integration in new and existing production lines.
Technology that keeps pace
At the heart of the dispensing system is the completely updated Scheugenpflug ProcessModule PM8000 axis system in combination with Enso.Dispense software on the new Atlas Copco common control platform.
Thanks to functionalities such as on-the-fly dispensing and synchronized coupling of axis and dispensing speed, even complex contours can be handled with high dispensing quality and minimum cycle times. Dispensing speeds reach new levels in combination with the DP8000 2C dispensing unit. Maintenance is quick and easy. Valves can be changed without the need for tools and axis belts can be easily replaced, which means that plant availability is improved.
“The demands especially on thermal interface materials (TIMs), which ensure effective thermal management in power electronic applications, are increasing all the time. We can now dispense these materials up to three times faster and deliver them to the component in the best possible quality.”

A smart view of quality
Solutions that combine speed with documented precision create the basis for stable series processes and support manufacturers in meeting demands for process reliability, auditability and product quality.
High-pressure efficiency
One for all
It is very rare in any production setting for dispensing to be carried out in isolation. Bonding, joining or fastening may also be involved, depending on the application. This is where the new “Atlas Copco Common Control Platform” principle comes in – a unified hardware and software solution that standardizes control, interfaces and user experience across all the controls for joining technologies, dispensing, flow drill fastening and self-piercing riveting.
The result is end-to-end networking and communication, for example with OPC UA or with Atlas Copco ToolsNet8 software which can be incorporated within an integrated production environment (ecosystem).
At the same time, the platform architecture is designed to meet future requirements – especially in terms of cyber security – for each of the currently integrated technologies.
A game changer for series production
Whether large quantities or complex applications are involved, this new system solution addresses multiple challenges in modern series production. It can handle abrasive TIMs, increase productivity through high axis acceleration and precise high-speed dispensing, and significantly reduce material losses. The integrated quality control system documents the results directly in the process and makes them traceable – an important aspect for industries with high demands in terms of process reliability and traceability.
A direct comparison with the standard version of the Scheugenpflug PM803 reveals the power of this innovation. Process time is reduced by more than 50% and material waste is only 0.2 liters, corresponding to savings of around 70%. At the same time, the system offers improved and documentable dispensing quality – a game changer for demanding electronics potting applications in series production.
Innovations in step with industry
Whether it’s a question of process speed or dispensing speed, it’s about more than "just" performance. What really matters is how quickly innovation reaches the customer and how precisely it meets production requirements.
It’s all about speed – with the right partner.
