Thermal management

Dispense solutions for thermal management

As the world moves more towards electrification, the need to manufacture electronics is increasing. Consumer and industrial demand for greater functionality with a smaller product footprint make managing the thermal load critical to product life cycles and reliability.

Thermal interface materials help efficiently dissipate the heat generated in electronic parts. Accurate dispense of TIMs is important to the performance, quality and durability of electronic products.

Materials

Extreme material abrasiveness? Problem solved with Elite

Some thermal interface materials (TIMs) are so abrasive, it is like pumping diamond dust or liquid sandpaper. Explore why and how we developed Elite, the longest-lasting pump construction for abrasive material dispense.

Applications

Electric vehicle thermal management

Whether it’s assembling electric vehicle (EV) batteries, and electronic products, or miniaturizing printed circuit boards (PCBs), thermal management remains crucial to longevity, efficiency and safety.
