Nordson EFD, a Nordson company will showcase its PICO Nexμs jetting system at MD&M West being held at the Anaheim Convention Center, Anaheim, California, February 4-6, 2025. In Booth 2715, medical device manufacturers can view this Smart Factory solution and its web-based interface for remote programming and on-demand inspection of fluid dispensing functions from a personal computer, laptop and other mobile devices. Created for precision fluid applications found in next generation medical device prototyping and design, the PICO Nexμs system can control, manage and monitor jetting functions at the point of dispense via Industrial Ethernet protocols from standard human machine interfaces (HMIs).
Providing real time insights for data-driven process control and production, PICO Nexμs has introduced a new era in Nordson-manufactured precision dispensing systems that apply highly accurate, consistent amounts of the adhesives, sealants, lubricants, and other fluids used in virtually every assembly application in the manufacturing process. The product has been certified for PROFINET devices and controllers, and ODVA (Open Device Vendor Association) has confirmed successful conformance testing for the Ethernet I/P protocol. An informational product video can be found here.
Also featured will be a G4VPlus enclosure with two PICO Nexμs jetting systems angled to perform a needle-bonding application. Nordson will spotlight its reagent dispensing capabilities on blood glucose test strips via a PROX5 Series automated dispensing system. EFD’s 4-axis PROPlus robotic solution will be on display to illustrate precision fluid dispensing for hearing aid assembly. Attendees will get a look at a select collection of Nordson one-component consumables used for the precise placement of adhesives, lubricants, solder pastes, two-part epoxies, UV-cure adhesives, and other assembly fluids. These products are manufactured in Nordon EFD’s ISO 9001:2000 certified U.S. facilities.
Nordson EFD partners with Fortune 500 companies and medical start-ups to solve the many challenges of medical device assembly. Their global team of fluid process engineers and world-class laboratories are well-known for rigorous validation measures. Clients and potential customers send their materials to Nordson experts and laboratories for extensive testing using Nordson’s deep technology portfolio and expertise to assess precision assembly requirements. This high-level consulting service is critical for device manufacturers who rarely have fluid process experts on staff to lead this important part of new product development.
