Understanding the Essentials: Defining Your Dosing System
Before integrating advanced robotics into workflows, it is crucial to understand the specific requirements of your dosing system. Industry experts recommend starting with a detailed definition of the type of fluids to be dispensed—be it oil, grease, glue, or other adhesives. This knowledge enables you to choose suitable equipment, such as valves, jetting, or volumetric systems, which are tailored to particular fluid properties. Access to comprehensive technical data, such as viscosity and reactant type, is vital for optimal system selection.
Our Volumetric System 797PCP, mounted on an automated dispensing unit, is being used in the medical sector for lyophilization to facilitate conservation & easy transport of reagents.
Automation at Its Best: Selecting the Right Robotic Setup
Once the dosing system is defined, attention shifts to the automation aspect. A critical decision is determining if the robot will operate in a dedicated cell, on a separate table, or as part of an integrated production line. For assembly lines, a gantry robot running on a conveyor might be optimal, providing flexibility across the X, Y, and Z axes. In contrast, for operations within a cell, a robot with the Y axis on the table and X and Z axes on the arm prove advantageous for spatial efficiency and precision. You could use a virtual Automated Dispensing Selector to find the right solution based on how many axes, what kind of precision, how big your working area, and how heavy your parts and fixtures are.
The Precision Factor: Meeting Exacting Standards
Precision is non-negotiable in today's manufacturing sphere. Whether working with eight or four microns of repeatability, achieving consistent and exact material placement is essential. Incorporating adaptive features, such as laser height control, ensures uniformity in dispensing, even in varying part configurations. Coupled with technologies like confocal lasers, these systems offer real-time feedback and adjustment capabilities, providing an additional layer of quality assurance.
Our PICO XP Jetting System takes the guesswork out of how to achieve fast, precise, and contactless fluid dispensing—reducing waste and boosting manufacturing efficiency.
Crafting Solutions for Scalability and Success
A final consideration for leaders is the scalability of their chosen solutions. The and output requirements dictate the setup, ranging from tray s of 200 x 200 mm to a maximum working area of 600 x 600 mm. Understanding client demands enables businesses to align production capabilities with market needs, fostering operational efficiency and growth potential. Organizations like Nordson EFD exemplify excellence in this area, driven by core values like integrity and innovation.
