1.1 Overview
The DispenseMate 580 (D-580) Series Dispensing Systems bring new dispensing power to a compact
package. Many of today’s advanced automated dispensing features are now available in a bench top
format. The D-580 Series platform utilizes the same dispense control technology as some of Nordson
ASYMTEK’s most advanced dispensing systems. This manual is intended primarily as a reference for
production operators. However, process engineers and service technicians unfamiliar with Nordson
ASYMTEK products may also find this manual useful as a general introduction to the system. This section
introduces the DispenseMate 580 Series Dispensing Systems and describes system configuration, lists
the standard and optional features, illustrates component location, and explains the function of the
components on the dispensing system. The following topics are covered:
Safety First
Getting Started
Standard Equipment
Optional Equipment
Two models of the DispenseMate Dispensing Systems are available with different size dispensing areas;
the D-583 and D-585 Dispensing Systems. Refer to Section 6 - Specifications for additional information
on each system.
