Manufacturers embrace Industry 4.0-ready fluid dispensing

In addition, today, organisations are implementing smart factory capabilities like remote production process control and data reporting to future-proof themselves.

Aerospace

The aerospace industry relies on high performance greases, sealants, adhesives, and other high value fluids to build precision parts and assemblies. For example, consider an application where grease is dispensed onto an aircraft pinion gear using the Nordson EFD xQR41 MicroDot valve. This approach enables the manufacturer to gain exceptional process control while minimizing dead fluid volume. The adaptable technology dispenses precise beads of grease onto the pinion gear assembly. It easily integrates into an automated assembly process, providing reliable throughput with tight tolerances.

Automotive

Automotive manufacturers are increasingly turning to fluid dispensing solutions that deliver high accuracy and lower dispensing tolerances. For example, an automotive manufacturer is using the Nordson EFD PICO Pµlse jetting system to consistently apply conformal coating to printed circuit boards (PCBs). The technology enables the manufacturer to gain a controlled deposit edge definition that prevents migration, delivering higher first-pass yields. The solution provides precise deposit pattern definition, with jetting up to 1500 Hz and no fluid migration issues. Learn more here.

Solutions 

In addition to the xQR41 needle valve and PICO Pµlse jetting system, Nordson EFD offers a range of fluid dispensing solutions that make manufacturers more efficient and Industry 4.0-ready. These include automated solutions like the PRO Series robots, and ethernet-compatible products like the UltimusPlus -NX I-II dispensers and the 7197PCP-DIN-NX controllers for 797PCP progressive cavity pumps. 

Conclusion

French mil/aero, space and transportation manufacturers looking for precision and repeatability in their fluid dispensing process in addition to Industry 4.0 – ready fluid dispensing solutions choose Nordson EFD because the company offers the technology, experience, and global service network needed for to meet demand for consistent throughput, uptime, and quality requirements.
