Introduction
This manual provides installation, setup, programming, operation, and service information for all components of a
Nordson EFD PROPlus / PRO Series automated dispensing system. Nordson EFD’s automated dispensing systems
dispense fluid in a preprogrammed pattern onto a workpiece. They are specifically designed and configured for use
with Nordson EFD industrial syringe barrel and valve systems. Automated dispensing systems offer the flexibility 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 DispenseMotion
™
controller, the robot, and the
dispensing system components. The robot executes a computer program to dispense fluid in a specific pattern onto
a workpiece. Programs are created using the DispenseMotion software installed on the DispenseMotion controller.
The dispensing system may be contact or non-contact, with material being dispensed through either a dispensing
tip or nozzle. For the purposes of this manual, “dispensing tip”
refers to either a tip or a nozzle.
Using the precision-vision camera, the robot can automatically
adjust the dispense program for each workpiece, allowing
for variations in the workpiece position or orientation. To
accomplish this, the software compares the current workpiece
location to within +/-2.5 mm (0.098") of a reference location that
is stored as an image file (called a mark file) in the program. If
the robot detects a difference in the X and Y positions and / or
the angle of rotation of the workpiece, it
adjusts the dispensing path to correct for
the difference.
