New system increases fluid dispensing precision, accuracy and throughput

Nordson ASYMTEK has introduced its Forte Series fluid dispensing system. The Forte Series merges high accuracy fluid dispensing with increased throughput and productivity in a narrow footprint to manage applications such as flex circuit and PCB assembly, electro-mechanical assembly, MEMS, underfill, precise coating, and encapsulation.

"To meet our customers' needs for reducing total cost-of-ownership while delivering the highest quality and production yield, Nordson ASYMTEK has fused technologies from our most advanced fluid dispensing system, proven features from our top-selling dispensing platform, and latest-generation Canvas® software in the new Forte Series," explained Garrett Wong, senior product manager, Nordson ASYMTEK. "It used to be the old trade-off between speed, performance, and price, but with Forte, that's definitely not the case."

The series delivers units per hour gain of 20-50% higher productivity through swift acceleration and improved motion control. A dual-valve-ready design enables the user to simultaneously run two high-frequency IntelliJet Jetting Systems to boost UPH and quality outcomes, which reduces dispense time by half.

Nordson ASYMTEK's Canvas software provides a wholly new interface that eases programming and offers powerful insight and control over the dispensing process. Graphical programming enables the user to scan a workpiece, develop a program on or offline, and simulate the dispensing results on a virtual canvas. Guided wizards give easy step-by-step setup instructions and quick-reference graphing and data tiles provide control of how system sensor and process data are displayed.
