The Fishman LDS9000 Mechanical Dispensing System claims an easy to program control unit and a hand-held dispensing gun that employs a precise, linear actuator-driven piston to push a fluid or adhesive through a plastic syringe. Reportedly permitting totally repeatable shots, this air-free dispenser runs on 115/220 VAC and claims to eliminate the problems associated with conventional air dispensers such as variations in pressure, moisture, and fluid viscosity. Suitable for in-plant assembly and field maintenance, the Fishman LDS9000

Mechanical Dispensing System has a microprocessor-based portable control unit, a foot- or hand operated pedal, and gun stand. Stated to provide uniform and repeatable shots, the software- driven unit knows the 1.D. of the syringe,dispense rate, and the required volume and then calculates the precise distance the piston needs to travel. It reportedly even draws back to prevent oozing.
