Abstract
The invention relates to a method of applying a fluid (12) to a surface (13), the pressurised fluid being applied from a container (1) to the surface via a hollow needle (7). In order to preclude clogging of the needle the needle is subjected to a longitudinal vibration during the application of fluid. The invention also relates to an arrangement for carrying out the method, the arrangement comprising a vibration device (3), such as a piezoelectric transducer, which can be coupled to the needle (7) to set the needle into longitudinal vibration. The fluid may be, for example, a solder paste or an adhesive.
