What NSW Automation does

NSW Automation Sdn Bhd, founded in 2004 and headquartered in Penang, Malaysia, designs and manufactures precision micro-volume fluid dispensing systems for semiconductor, LED, biotech, automotive, aerospace, SMT, industrial assembly, and military manufacturers. The company sells a portfolio of dispensing motion handlers (i-DR S350, S420, S621, N4, SD1-X, W12-2020 wafer-level system, i-DR A300 Series) and proprietary dispensing pumps and controllers (SynchroPULSE-MICRO, PistonPRO 4+, HeliMASTER-3, PP2-DOUBLE, DPC Systems), offered individually or as integrated platforms.

The company's core technology centers on patented Digital-Programmable Volumetric Dispensing and the SynchroPULSE-MICRO squeezing pump, which uses air pressure to actuate an internal diaphragm rather than mechanical pistons or valves, enabling zero-clogging dispensing down to 80μm with standard Type-6 solder paste and 40μm with UV glue. NSW integrates Industry 4.0 standards with IoT capability, machine-learning-based process optimization, and Smart Volume Control plus self-weight calibration algorithms that compensate for fluid viscosity and temperature variation in real time. Systems are CE-certified and ISO 9001/14001/45001-compliant and are sold through direct enterprise field sales with technical support offices in the USA, China, Taiwan, South Korea, Germany, the UK, Russia, and Switzerland.

Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is negotiated on a customized quote basis, reflecting a consultative sale with configuration and pump selection driving deal value. In June 2026, NSW became a founding member of the Malaysia Advanced Packaging Consortium (MAPC) alongside SkyeChip, Inari Amertron, Pentamaster, and FusionAP, an initiative backed by RM185.8 million ($47.3 million USD) in combined government R&D grants and industry matching contributions targeting advanced semiconductor packaging. The company holds ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015, and ISO 45001:2018 certifications and CE marking on key products.

Core offering

NSW Automation manufactures and sells precision micro-volume fluid dispensing systems for industrial production. Its portfolio comprises dispensing motion handlers (i-DR S350/S420/S621, N4, SD1-X, W12-2020, i-DR A300 Series) and proprietary dispensing pumps and controllers (SynchroPULSE-MICRO, PistonPRO 4+, HeliMASTER-3, PP2-DOUBLE, DPC Systems). The systems enable micro-volume dispensing of solder paste, UV glue, liquid metals, phosphors, adhesives, and encapsulants at precision levels down to 80µm, serving semiconductor packaging, LED, biotech, automotive, aerospace, and military manufacturers.

Product overview

NSW Automation is a Malaysia-based precision liquid dispensing systems manufacturer offering a comprehensive portfolio of dispensing solutions. The product line consists of Dispensing Motion Handlers (i-DR S350, i-DR S420, i-DR S621, N4, SD1-X, W12-2020, i-DR A300 Series) and Dispensing Pumps & Controllers (SynchroPULSE-MICRO, PistonPRO 4+, HeliMASTER-3, PP2-DOUBLE, DPC Systems). These products work together as a system: motion handlers provide the platform and precision movement, while the pump modules handle the actual fluid dispensing. The SynchroPULSE-MICRO pump represents the flagship micro-dispensing technology capable of dispensing down to 80μm with solder paste. The i-DR A300 Series targets large-scale production with varying pump configurations (1-4 pumps), while the W12-2020 serves wafer-level semiconductor manufacturing. The DPC Systems serve as the controller backbone enabling pump management across the product range.
