Operation The LDS9000 Dispensing System uses a patented Linear Drive System (LDS) to transfer force from the drive motor to the syringe piston. The motor, lead screw and syringe piston are linked mechanically. Each attachment (gun to reservoir, gun to piston, piston to reservoir) is specifically designed to provide zero flexing in the system during a dispense. Simply put, zero flexing is what makes the LDS9000 the world’s most repeatable dispenser. Once the dispense cycle is complete, a programm

Operating Tips Suggested Tips • The faster you dispense the more backoff you will need. That’s because the speed at which the piston is traveling exceeds the flow rate of the material out of the dispense tip. Therefore, creating internal pressure. More reverse motion is required to get the internal reservoir pressure back to zero. We recommend you start with a slow rate and progress from there. • The LDS9000 positively displaces fluids. That means if you program .02cc’s of fluid, you will get .0

Operating Tips Components • Always use Fishman AirFree™ barrel reservoirs and dispense tips. Safely dispose after use. This method prevents contamination, ensures proper safety and provides maximum cleanliness. • The heart of the Linear Drive System (LDS) is the AirFree™ piston. The specially designed luer connection provides a no slip connection assuring the highest deposit repeatability. • Use Fishman FreeFlow™ tapered dispense tips. Small gauge tips will only create backpressure, put stress o

Loading the Reservoirs Avoid Air in the Syringe Barrel Trapped air in the fluid creates voids that will make the fluid compressible. Although the LDS9000 Linear Drive System is stable enough to handle most compressible fluids excess air will force the user to use a greater amount of pullback. This will create a greater amount of forward and reverse motion in the syringe during a dispense cycle. Excess motion will put more stress on the fluid being dispensed. The goal is to reduce dispense motion
