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.

Nordson EFD Product Safety Statement (continued)
Halogenated Hydrocarbon Solvent Hazards
Do not use halogenated hydrocarbon solvents in a pressurized system that contains aluminum components.
Under pressure, these solvents can react with aluminum and explode, causing injury, death, or property damage.
Halogenated hydrocarbon solvents contain one or more of the following elements.
Element Symbol Prefix
Fluorine F “Fluoro-”
Chlorine Cl “Chloro-”
Bromine Br “Bromo-”
Iodine I “Iodo-”
Check the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) or contact your material supplier for more information. If you must use
halogenated hydrocarbon solvents, contact your EFD representative for compatible EFD components.
High Pressure Fluids
High pressure fluids, unless they are safely contained, are extremely hazardous. Always release fluid pressure before
adjusting or servicing high pressure equipment. A jet of high pressure fluid can cut like a knife and cause serious
bodily injury, amputation, or death. Fluids penetrating the skin can also cause toxic poisoning.
WARNING
Any injury caused by high pressure liquid can be serious. If you are injured or even suspect an injury:
• Go to an emergency room immediately.
• Tell the doctor that you suspect an injection injury.
• Show the doctor the following note.
• Tell the doctor what kind of material you were dispensing.
Medical Alert — Airless Spray Wounds: Note to Physician
Injection in the skin is a serious traumatic injury. It is important to treat the injury surgically as soon as possible. Do
not delay treatment to research toxicity. Toxicity is a concern with some exotic coatings injected directly into the
bloodstream.
Qualified Personnel
Equipment owners are responsible for making sure that EFD equipment is installed, operated, and serviced by
qualified personnel. Qualified personnel are those employees or contractors who are trained to safely perform
their assigned tasks. They are familiar with all relevant safety rules and regulations and are physically capable of

Camera
Your system includes a smart-vision CCD camera with integrated lighting, allowing you to view the work surface or
fixture plate and to obtain a very sharp focus.
CCD Camera Features How to Focus
Converts the analog camera image pixels
to digital values for extremely precise image
management
• Move the camera up or down to focus the
image.
• Use the light controller dial to adjust the
exposure (how much light is allowed into
the image). Refer to “PROPlus / PRO
Series System Component Identification”
on page15 for the location of the light
controller.
Fixed focal length
Separate light source with light controller
Variety of lenses available (for different
focal lengths, fields of view, etc.). Refer to
“Accessories” on page100 for the optional
lens kit part number.
Laser (PROPlus/L, PRO/L Only)
The laser can read the distance between the tip or nozzle and the substrate. Because it is a non-contact device, it
can be used to measure the surface heights of delicate or intricate products and will not damage expensive parts.
The laser also allows the system to automatically adjust programs to compensate for surface height variations that
can occur from one workpiece to another.
There are two laser options: A and B. Laser option A is used for reflective or transparent surfaces and has a smaller
sensing envelope but very high detection accuracy. Laser option B is used for general surfaces and has a larger
sensing envelope but lower detection accuracy.

Installation
Use this section in tandem with the Quick Start Guide and the valve system manuals to install all components of the
system.
Unpack the System Components
CAUTION
Unpacking the robot requires a minimum of two people.
Do not attempt to lift the robot without assistance.
1. Remove all system components and ship-with
items from the packaging.
2. With assistance, carefully lift the robot by its base
and transfer it to a stable workbench. Never lift the
robot by its cross member.
NOTE: All units are shipped from the factory with
foam protectors that secure the worktable to
the X axis and the Zaxis to prevent movement
and damage during shipment. Nordson EFD
recommends retaining all packing material for use if
the robot is shipped or moved in the future.
3. Remove the protective foam covers and tape.
4. Double-check the shipping box to ensure you have
removed everything.
