Nordson EFD, precision fluid dispensing systems manufacturer, has introduced the PICO Nexμs Jetting System which it says revolutionizes jet dispensing efficiency. While standard jetting controllers are panel-mounted away from the point of dispense, making adjustment and monitoring of the dispensing parameters inconvenient to the user, the new jetting controller has a compact 24V DIN-rail construction which makes it easy to mount inside an existing machine cabinet. It is thus well suited in multi-valve installations where machine real estate is limited.
The controller uses standard Industrial Ethernet protocols such as PROFINET and EtherNet/IP to communicate with your programmable logic controller (PLC) or other plant controllers. This allows manufacturers to control multiple jetting systems through a human machine interface (HMI) at the point of dispense. Its web interface simplifies setup, programing, and monitoring. Users can adjust cycle, pulse, frequency, and more for real-time control. A history of dispensing parameters can be stored for optimal quality control.
“PICO Nexμs is the Core of Connectivity. It is all about connections … It connects to the Pμlse jet valve. It connects to factory automation. It connects to the jetting process controls. It connects to the machine. And it connects the machine operator via HMI for real time manufacturing information, enabling a data-driven production process and greater production yields and efficiencies,” said Claude Bergeron, PICO Product Line Manager, Nordson EFD.
