Nordson EFD  (Booth 2715) is showcasing its PICO Nexμs jetting system at MD&M West. 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). Groundbreaking in its field, PICO Nexμs received market recognition by Machine Design with a 2024 Edge Award in the Automation & IIOT category.

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.

Also featured in Booth 2715 is 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 can see 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.
