Abstract
A fluid dispensing machine includes a frame and a fixture held by the frame. The fixture is configured to support a substrate. A positioning system is supported by the frame. A guidance system is supported by the positioning system. The guidance system has a camera viewing the fixture that is movable relative to the fixture. A fluid dispenser is supported by the positioning system and is moved by the positioning system relative to the fixture. The fluid dispenser is configured to dispense fluid onto the substrate. A controller communicates with the positioning system and the guidance system. The controller operates the positing system to control a position of the fluid dispenser relative to the fixture based on an image obtained by the camera.
