Introduction
This manual provides installation, setup, programming, operation, and service information for all components of a
Nordson EFD EV Series automated dispensing system. Nordson EFD’s automated dispensing systems dispense
uid in a preprogrammed pattern onto a workpiece. They are specically designed and congured for use with
Nordson EFD industrial syringe barrel and valve systems. Automated dispensing systems offer the exibility 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 uid in a specic 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 dispensing 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 le (called
a mark le) 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 uids, unless they are safely contained, are extremely hazardous. Always release uid pressure before
adjusting or servicing high pressure equipment. A jet of high pressure uid 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
qualied personnel. Qualied personnel are those employees or contractors who are trained to safely perform
