Nordson EFD, a leading manufacturer of precision fluid dispensing systems, has unveiled two new automated fluid dispensing solutions: GVPlus and PROX. These solutions offer improved repeatability, larger payloads, simplified setup requirements, and superior vision capabilities.
The GVPlus solution boasts best-in-class repeatability, now at 8 μm, which improves repeatability to ±0.008 mm. The robot is also easier to set up with its new dual mounting flange that allows for a tool payload of up to 4.5 kg. Paired with a working area of 400 mm x 400 mm, the GVPlus family of robots offers greater versatility for various applications. The enhancements made to the CCD smart vision camera on the GVPlus solution allow for high-quality images even on challenging surfaces like glass, mirrors, plastics, and non-transparent clear surfaces. To ensure accuracy, EFD’s proprietary dispensing software confirms and automatically adjusts as in-process variations occur.
The PROX solution also improves motion, repeatability, vision, and workspace capabilities. Equipped with new linear motors, it offers better actuation speed, reduced maintenance needs, and improved durability. The PROX systems have a best-in-class X, Y, and Z-axis repeatability of ±0.003 mm and an expanded working area of 500 mm x 500 mm. The vision system on the PROX solution provides precise, high-quality images and is supported by EFD’s proprietary DispenseMotion™ software.
Nordson EFD’s enhanced automated dispensing product line aims to provide manufacturers with higher accuracy in fluid deposit placement, along with greater versatility and stronger robot tooling movements. These improvements will help meet the demands of higher volume, high-quality production.
