The Prodigy Dual Lane Dispenser was designed to meet the requirements of industries such as automotive and semiconductor, seeking to improve efficiency. The dispenser comes in two sizes, a compact 4-zone system that measures 830mm in width and a larger 6-zone system that measures 1270mm. These sizes allow for processing a wide range of product sizes.
With its advanced linear drive architecture and stable frame, the Prodigy offers precise and accurate dot placement, even at high speeds, resulting in improved yields. The dispenser has a +/-35µ 3 Sigma dot placement accuracy.
To ensure consistent material flow rates, the Prodigy offers both contact and non-contact heating options in different configurations, including heated lift chucks to maintain a controlled temperature.
The Prodigy is designed with flexibility in mind, offering easy upgrades through its ‘plug and play’ compatibility. Upgrades, including heat, pumps, tilt and rotate, IR sensors, weight scale, a second Z-axis, and the conveyor system, can be made in the field for added convenience.
Dual lane conveyors enable improved optimization by allowing two identical or two different products to be processed in either lane. Multi-tasking functionality provides increased efficiency and flexibility, dispensing operations can be switched automatically between conveyor lanes for products that require multiple dispense passes of underfill and PCB transfer time is eliminated as the dispense process can start in the adjacent lane immediately.
Each conveyor lane can be configure with up to 3 zones and is capable of handling products up to 400mm x 254mm
The Prodigy features automatic vision for both fiducial alignment and manual teaching of programs. Fiducial images are taught and saved to an onboard library; in addition, it works as an image recognition system so that any unique feature can be used for alignment. Camalot’s edge detection vision alignment is the fastest and most accurate positioning method available. A one-snap operation finds all four edges of die up to 25mm square, and automatically adjusts needle path for variations in X,Y, and theta placement, die width, and edge parallelism.
Patented technology that enables reduced wet-out areas, improved capillary flow for underfill and access for dispensing on side walls or around tall components.
PCB designs are ever more challenging for dispensing with increased component densities, reduced materials keep out zones, and a broad mix of component heights. The Prodigy’s advanced Tilt and Rotate option solves all these challenges and more with its patented design and operation.

Easy to learn and use, ITW EAE’s Benchmark software is powerful yet intuitive, and offers enhanced functionality and features such as a flip chip calculator for underfill. It outputs accurate volume and weight details by allowing precise weight data to be entered into the program, reducing setup time and scrapped parts.
Dual Mode Weight Scale employs a patented closed-loop weighing process that allows measurement of dispense patterns for maximum accuracy. In addition, a unique auto tune feature enables control of individual droplet sizes from our pump systems. The process allows measurement of both global and actual dispense patterns for maximum accuracy. Changes in material viscosity are controlled with automatic compensation. Patented Closed-loop Weigh Process.
The proprietary design of Dynamic Dual Head (DDH) provides the only fast and fully accurate solution for dual head simultaneous dispensing. The DDH option uses a unique and patented mini XY drive system on a second Z-Axis to correct “real-time” and allow synchronous dispensing of both pumps regardless of part to part rotation. This technique guarantees increased productivity whilst maintaining yields through unsurpassed accuracy.

Independent Dual Head configurability allows dispensing of different materials within one process. Both Z-axes are independently controlled, facilitating both high positional accuracy and fast axis movement.
Patented, closed-loop monitoring of the PCB/substrate temperature ensures dispenser process stability and yield improvements for underfill applications.
Features
A vacuum-based cleaning station ensures cleanliness of needle/nozzle. A detector is used to verify needle straightness and presence, compatible with 12–32 gauge needles.
NuJet eliminates use of a needle and incorporates a contact jetting technique to displace the dispense material. Controlling the piston with a pneumatic actuator and closed-loop software achieves a high degree of accuracy and repeatability for consistent process results.

Offering high speed – Up to 600 Hz, and ultra-fine resolution, with dot sizes 300 microns, this patent pending pump features state-of-the-art motion control technology, simple maintenance, quick changeover, and a low cost of ownership.
Proprietary syringe cooling technology that increases the “pot-life” of underfill materials by maintaining the syringe at controlled temperature within the heated machine environment. This provides reduced material waste, less downtime and increased process stability.
Key Features
Camalot offer 2 types of Auger pump both controlled with a precise servo drive system. The 635SD series are typically used for finer feature dots and lines of high viscosity material. The 680SD pumps delivers high flow rates and also incorporate a patented positive shutoff that eliminates dripping of lower viscosity materials. For highly abrasive materials both pump systems offer more wear resistant carbide auger screws.
SmartStream is a unique patented non-contact dispense method designed and manufactured by Camalot. A controlled stream of material is dispensed using positive displacement with a piston, which does not contact seat or nozzle. SmartStream dispenses a column of material with each cycle instead of a single sphere.
