Abstract
A fluid dispensing system includes a housing, an inertial measurement unit supported by the housing and operable to sense linear and rotational acceleration of the housing, a nozzle supported by the housing operable to expel a fluid, a pressure source in fluid communication with the housing and the nozzle and operable to pressurize the fluid, a valve positioned fluidically upstream from the nozzle and operable to regulate fluid flow to the nozzle, and a controller in operable to receive an application value relating to a predetermined volume of fluid to be applied to a surface of an article, to receive movement data relating to the linear and rotational acceleration of the housing sensed by the inertial measurement unit, and to regulate the valve based on the movement data and the application value.
