Abstract

See full text

The present invention provides a robotic dispensing apparatus comprising a gear pump operably coupled to a rotatable element positioned along the sixth axis of a multi-axis robot such that the gear pump is driven by the multi-axis robot. In one embodiment of the present invention, a sixth axis motor of the multi-axis robot drives the rotatable element and a dispense valve communicates with the gear pump for receiving and dispensing viscous material from the gear pump. Preferably, a flexible coupling interconnects the gear pump and the rotatable element and a manifold and piping system cooperate to deliver the viscous material pumped by the gear pump to the dispense valve.
