Nordson ASYMTEK wins Global Technology Award

Nordson ASYMTEK's innovative Tilt + Rotate dispenser enables precise jet dispensing with five axes of automated control instead of the usual three X, Y and Z axes. The addition of tilt modes from a vertical position in either X or Y axis, enables jetting at varying angles, along all sides of a device, and up the side of a substrate. It has been tested in densely populated PCBs and semiconductor packages as well as 3D stacked die packages.

Tilt + Rotate enables unprecedented speed, accuracy, and quality for precision underfilling of stacked die, delivering high throughput for volume production. The jet dispenses very thin lines, into tight corners and gaps, and around tall components, and using the tilt mode, the jet dispenses up to an industry-leading ±30° with 1° resolution.

The award was open to equipment, materials, and EMS companies of all sizes. Entries were judged on innovation, speed/throughput improvements, quality contribution, cost benefits, environmental consideration, ease of use/implementation, and maintainability/repairability. "It is very exciting and affirming to win this award," said Garrett Wong, product manager for Nordson ASYMTEK. "The Tilt+Rotate is one of several new jetting features that Nordson ASYMTEK released this year that was shown at Productronica.
