quad 4c automatic paste dispencer

Just buy a separate machine to apply paste. You'll be able to run faster, (by doing more at the same time) and you can probably find an air-over-syringe system for less than $2000USD. At the end of the day, that's probably less than you'll spend in time and parts trying to build a 4C to do what you'd like. A cheap solution I might recommend is getting a dated Nordson-Asymtek machine like the Century/Automove series. We've been using at least one of their machines from the same era for the past 5 years for prototyping assemblies. Works fine for our purposes, but I'm not sure what mix of parts you're using.

This is a little bit older, but it was the cheapest one I came across within 5 mins of Googling: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Asymtek-Automove-402-Automated-Fluid-Dispensing-System-2-Heads-w-Computer-/201900247880 In particular this is not a great price for the model, but I'm guessing if look hard enough you could find something similar or even better for less than $2000.

This one was purchased a few months ago, but it gives you an idea of the range of prices these machines can go for: http://www.ebay.com/itm/ASYMTEK-C-708-AUTOMATED-FLUID-DISPENSING-SYSTEM-W-OPTIONAL-NEEDLE-HEATER-WoW-/331515036047/?_ul=BO

Good luck!

Quad made an auger style dispenser that mounted to the pick and place head.

A long time ago, in CM far far away, I tried to add one to a Quad 4C but could never get the damn thing to work.

The folks at PPM http://www.goppm.com/ might be able to help you. Insert standard: "I receive no benefit nor compensation from the aforementioned company" here.

Hi, Yes you can add a paste dispenser to the Quad 4C. The system will dispense DOTS and DOT patterns, no lines. We sell kits to add the dispenser. It takes about 4hours to install the kit. We also sell Camalot dispensers, benchtop & floor models.
