Abstract

The electronic syringe pump is a device that controls the volume and flow of milliliters to microliters for a certain period of time with very high accuracy, which gradually pushes the injection piston. Controlling the amount of injection and contraction of the electronic syringe pump is an important part in the design and operation of electrospinning systems. Discharge of small droplets with a controlled structure and pattern through the needle of the syringe pump is very important. This study focuses on the design and control of an electronic syringe pump and its fabrication investigation. The advancement of technology has made it possible to use the motor as the driving force of the syringe filled with liquid that is released through the needle. The design is chosen using an AVR-based stepper motor to regulate the flow rate. This research includes two parts of designing and checking the construction of this device. The hardware is with the parts needed to make a syringe pump with AVR as the processing core of the system and stepper motor as the piston pusher. The syringe pump can be set by the keyboard and shown on the screen. The system will be able to manage small quantities and provide the possibility of setting small delivery rates.
