4-Axis RV Series Automated Fluid Dispensing Robot

Easy 4-axis automation for precise fluid application with smart vision

Nordson EFD’s RV Series 4-axis automated systems are configured for precise fluid dispensing using EFD syringe barrel and valve systems.

Specialized vision-guided DispenseMotion™ software and an integrated CCD smart vision camera make the RV quick to set up and easy to program. True three-dimensional motion control provides easy programming of dots, lines, circles, arcs, compound arcs, and patterns on different planes. The fourth axis allows for dispensing at any angle along the 360° rotation plane.

In addition to its standard fixed-mount CCD camera, the RV Series has an optional rotating-mount camera that mounts onto the R-axis of the robot. This allows multiple substrate viewing orientations at 0° or 90° angles. It also allows multi-focus on multiple substrate heights.

Other standard features include single-point needle adjustment and best-in-class dispense repeatability at +/- 8 μm. Platforms range from 300 x 300 mm to 620 x 500 mm, making them an ideal solution for batching or critical dispensing applications. The RV Series can work as a standalone system or as a key part of an automated solution. It is easy to integrate into inline transfer systems, rotary tables, and pallet assembly lines.
