Unity™ Pro Series

Unity™ Pro Series

Nordson’s vision-guided Unity™ Pro Series semi-automated systems are specifically designed and configured for precise hot melt dispensing using Nordson Unity dispensing systems.

Overview


Specialized UNITYMotion™ software and integrated vision and laser height sensing capabilities make Unity automated systems quick to set up and easy to program. True three-dimensional motion control allows easy programming of dots, lines, circles, arcs, and compound arcs.

 Additionally, linear encoders provide precise bead placement while the smart CCD camera and optional laser height sensing systems that automatically adjust programs to compensate for both surface height changes and variations in product orientation.

Features


  • UNITYMotion icon-based software simplifies setup and programming with advanced vision features
  • On-screen preview of the dispensing path, which facilitates programming
  • Closed-loop feedback with precision laser non-contact sensing
  • Vision-based bead compensation adjusts for changing viscosity materials
  • Reinforced X axis increases system rigidity and improved accuracy
  • Fully mapped work area with correction table, which increases fluid placement accuracy
  • Easy-to-use .dxf file conversion to program path
  • Closed loop stepping motor with an absolute encoder for 3XP PLUS, 4XP PLUS and 6XP PLUS

Benefits


  • Easily integrated into manufacturing operations
  • Easy-to-use visual programming resulting in a quicker learning process for operators
  • Increased production; thus, reduces process time
  • Higher yields and production quality which lead to reduced production cost, material waste, and cost of ownership
  • Better dispensing due to precise control over tip-to-substrate gap with laser height sensing capabilities
