Introduction
This manual provides installation, setup, programming, operation, and service information for all components of a
Nordson EFD E Series automated dispensing system. Nordson EFD’s automated dispensing systems dispense uid
in a preprogrammed pattern onto a workpiece. They are specically designed and congured for use with Nordson
EFD industrial syringe barrel and valve systems. Automated dispensing systems offer the exibility of working either
as a stand-alone system or as a key part of an automated solution and are easily integrated into in-line transfer
systems, rotary tables, and pallet assembly lines.
The primary components of an automated dispensing system are the Teach Pendant (TP), the robot, and the
dispensing valve components. The robot executes a program to dispense uid from the valve in a specic pattern
onto a workpiece. Programs are created and executed using the Teach Pendant. Material is dispensed through a
Nordson EFD syringe barrel or valve system. A valve system may be contact or non-contact. Contact systems may
dispense uid through a needle or a dispensing tip. For the purposes of this manual, “dispensing tip” refers to either
a needle or a tip.
