MRC500 dispensing robotic cell
The PC controlled mta MRC500 robotic cell is a standard automatic dispensing machine with a working area is of 500x500mm. It can be used for semi or fully automated volumetric dispensing operations.
The MRC500 can be equipped with all the established of mta dispensing heads: NVD mono-component dispenser, NBD two-components dispenser, mini-NVD mono-component dispenser, mini-NBD two-components dispenser, CFD continuous flow mono-component dispenser, CBD continuous flow two-components dispenser, CD cartridge mono-component dispenser and jet dispenser.
The 3 axes of the MRC500 are fully programmable through the mta MotionEditor software including dispensing parameters such as:
- Volume to be dispensed, dispensing speed, mixing ratio as well as other related dispensing parameters e.g. unlimited quantity of points, linear or circular beads.
Thanks to its flexible and modular concept, the MRC500 has an open architecture. It can therefore easily be integrated into existing production lines with pallet conveyors or a rotary table.
3 reasons to choose the mta MRC500 dispensing robotic cell
- The mta MRC500 is both purposes-built and standardized. The advantage of being purpose-built is that there was no need to compromise functionality around pre-defined limitations. The advantage of standardizing the design is that it does not come with the heavy cost associated with one-off custom machines.
- The X, Y, and Z axis use ball-screw actuators for precise actuation with a repeatability of 20 microns to assure the process is accurate and delivers consistent quality.
- Properly designed heads are fairly heavy, so large DC stepper motors was used that provide the strength needed to actuate the head quickly.

Jet dispenser
Learn more Read moreWith the growing demands of miniaturization and cycle time reduction, the jet dispenser offers faster speed and high precision; but also more flexibility in terms of accessibility and trajectories. Furthermore, this contactless dispensing technique uses pneumatic or piezoelectric actuated valves to propel droplet of fluids out of the nozzle, which results in dots of small size and volume.
As there is no contact with the surface and no necessity of a needle, the fluid can be dispensed into tight spaces along any trajectory such as thin lines, sharp corners, etc. However the major asset of propelling small dots from above the working surface is that no Z-motion is required, thereby significantly increasing speed and reducing cycle time.

The main features of our jet dispenser head include:
- High frequency dispensing of low volume droplets with low and high viscosity products
- Ability to dispense into tight spaces with all shape trajectories

3 reasons to choose the jet dispenser
- Significant cycle time advantages – no need of vertical motion.
- No contact to the working surface and no needle – low maintenance.
- Heating of the valve seat to ensure high degree of repeatability of the drop volume.
