Automated fluid dispensing systems on show at FEIMAFE 2015

The recent PRO series' smart vision CCD camera captures detailed component part images and converts them into high resolution digital files, making it easier to see the dispensing path as parameters are set. The vision system is integrated with EFD's latest DispenseMotion software, designed for precise fluid dispensing.

The closed-loop system ensures the dispensing process stays under control. Importing and converting DXF, CAD, and Excel files is easy, and true three-dimensional motion control allows simplified programming of dots, lines, circles, arcs, compound arcs, and complex patterns.

"Nordson EFD's automated dispensing series ranges from the E series, which uses a Teach Pendant for programming the dispense path, and the EV series, which has a simple vision pencil camera to support on-screen set-up, to the PRO4L series, which includes a fully integrated height sensor that detects height variations on the surface of a product and makes corrections to the tip's dispensing height to prevent uneven deposits and tip or workpiece damage," said Kelvin Fernandez, Product Manager, Nordson EFD. "So there are systems for every application."

Also on display, PICO jet valves use piezoelectric technology to dispense a wide range of fluids in volumes as small as 0.5nl at continuous speeds up to 500Hz with exceptional process control. These valves increase efficiency, yield, and profitability. EFD application specialists will be at FEIMAFE stand N488 to assist attendees in evaluating various fluid dispensing application questions, needs and options. Both attendees and non-attendees are encouraged to schedule a complimentary application test at EFD's local lab at the Nordson DO facility.

FEIMAFE 2015 is the 15th international machine tools and integrated manufacturing systems trade fair. It focuses on machine tools and quality control for products made and sold in Latin America. It's being held at the Pavilhão de Exposições do Anhembi, São Paulo, Brazil.
