Automated fluid dispensing systems from Nordson EFD

02 August 2021

NORDSON EFD's PRO Series of automated fluid dispensing systems integrates vision and laser height sensing with closed-loop encoding to deliver a solution that is quick to set up, easy to program and operate, and which has advanced dispensing capabilities.

The Nordson EFD PRO Series has a smart vision CCD camera that captures detailed component part images and converts them into high resolution digital files, a key feature that simplifies tedious programming

The PRO4L Series also includes fully integrated laser height sensing that detects height variations on the surface of a product and makes corrections to the dispensing height to prevent uneven deposits and tip or workpiece damage. 

The PRO Series’ advanced vision-guided DispenseMotion software simplifies set up and facilitates programming with an on-screen preview of the dispensing path. The dispense tip can be driven to the precise point needed. Tasks of importing and converting DXF, CAD, and Excel files are equally simple. True three-dimensional motion control allows easy programming of dots, lines, circles, arcs, compound arcs, and complex patterns.

These systems are specifically designed and configured for precise fluid dispensing using EFD syringe barrel and valve systems. Platform sizes of 200 x 200, 300 x 300, 400 x 400, and 500 x 500 handle a broad spectrum of customer applications and can work as standalone systems or part of an automated solution. 

In order to achieve next-level dispensing results, Nordson EFD’s OptiSure AOI software and confocal laser can be integrated into the company's vision-guided robots to provide optical assurance of fluid deposit dimensions and placement once applied to a workpiece. The confocal laser and software work in unison to provide complete feedback on the accuracy of your deposit. While the camera inspects the X and Y coordinates of deposits (diameter and width), the laser measures the Z axis (height) of the deposit. Instant quality feedback is obtained from the software, which eliminates the need to purchase additional quality control equipment. An image is also taken automatically after every deposit, so when you’re in the program, you can analyse the deposit and determine whether it meets your deposit tolerances and specifications. When something does fail, the program will tell you so you can adjust the settings accordingly. This reduces the possibility of rejects and rework down the line by allowing you to fix a dispensing issue at source.
