A microprocessor controlled bellows-type pump system for the precise and accurate pumping and dispensing of fluids. The pump comprises a longitudinally contracting bellows which is supported from warping under fluid pressure by a support bushing in contact with the inside folds of the bellows. A stepper motor drives the bellows position via a lead screw. A system of four valves: a dispense valve, shut-off valve, vent valve, and suck-back valve, control fluid routing within a manifold. One or two pressure transducers allow the microprocessor to control valve positions and stepper motor turning for well behaved dispensing operations.
