A dispensing system includes an optional pre-heat station configured to receive an electronic substrate, a dispense station configured to dispense material on the electronic substrate received from the optional pre-heat station, an optional post-heat station configured to receive the electronic substrate from the dispense station, and a non-contact sensor positioned above the electronic substrate on at least one of the optional pre-heat station, the dispense station, and the optional post-heat station.

A dispensing system includes a dispensing unit assembly configured to dispense viscous material and a gantry coupled to the frame. The gantry is configured to support the dispensing unit assembly and to move the dispensing unit assembly in x-axis and y-axis directions. The dispensing unit assembly includes a support bracket secured to the gantry and a movable bracket rotatably coupled to the support bracket by a first strain wave gear system configured to enable the rotation of the movable bracket with respect to the support bracket about a first axis. The dispensing unit assembly further includes a dispensing unit rotatably coupled to the movable bracket by a second strain wave gear system configured to enable the rotation of the dispensing unit with respect to the movable bracket about a second axis generally perpendicular to the first axis.

A dispensing system includes a frame, a support, a dispensing unit assembly, and a gantry. The gantry is configured to support the dispensing unit assembly and to move the dispensing unit assembly in x-axis and y-axis directions. The dispensing unit assembly includes a support bracket secured to the gantry and a movable bracket rotatably coupled to the support bracket configured to enable the rotation of the movable bracket with respect to the support bracket about a first axis, with a dispensing unit rotatably coupled to the movable bracket configured to enable the rotation of the dispensing unit with respect to the movable bracket about a second axis generally perpendicular to the first axis. A mass dampener assembly is coupled to the movable bracket, with the mass dampener assembly being configured to reduce vibration of the dispensing unit during operation.

A luminaire adapter is provided. The luminaire adapter includes a tombstone cover and a light source bracket. The tombstone cover includes a housing that defines a slot opening to accept a tombstone socket and a pair of snap connectors. The light source bracket includes a top portion and a bottom portion. The top portion and the bottom portion are configured to connect. The bottom portion includes a pair of snap receivers configured to receive the pair of snap connectors of the tombstone cover. The top portion and the bottom portion define an opening to receive a luminaire.

A thermal management system for a display case having a corner in which a lighting system is located is provided. The lighting system includes a reflector and a light source that generates heat and is mounted with the reflector. A lighting system support is positioned in the corner of the display case and is associated with the lighting system. A mullion is positioned between the lighting system support and the lighting system. The mullion maintains a desired relative position between the lighting system support and the lighting system. A contactor is located between the lighting system support and the lighting system, and provides minimal thermal conduction between the lighting system support and the lighting system. The contactor thus reduces heat transfer from the heat-generating light source to the lighting system support, thereby reducing an amount of heat transferred to the corner of the display case.
