Greater flexibility and quick changeover through changeable pump cartridges is the latest productivity enhancement announced by MRSI. Users of MRSI-170 and MRSI-175Ag dispense systems with cartridge style pumps now have the flexibility of swapping out changeable cartridges in minutes in order to switch the pump from a high volume dispense application such as dam and fill, to a more precise application such as silver filled conductive epoxy.

This pump system is designed with a modular 'cartridge' that includes the pump auger and chamber as well as the dispense needle. This cartridge can be removed from the pump and stored with the fluid while another cartridge is installed. Cartridge replacement is accomplished without tools, with the resulting benefit that nearly no time be spent on changeover. Benefits of this innovation include simplification; only one system is needed for a variety of applications; i.e., The same MRSI system can deliver superior results for both conductive epoxy and underfill dispensing with a simple cartridge change.

MRSI is a leading supplier of dispense and assembly systems for the semiconductor and microelectronics industry.
