Introduction 3
1.4 Standard Equipment
1.4.1 Computer System
The Computer System consists of a laptop PC, mouse, and connecting cables. It runs Fluidmove for
Windows XP (FmXP) software.
1.4.2 Fluidmove for Windows XP Software
Fluidmove for Windows XP (FmXP) is Nordson ASYMTEK-proprietary software for use in a Windows XP
environment, developed specifically for dispensing applications.
1.4.3 Tooling Plate
The Tooling Plate is mounted to the Y-axis and secures the workpiece for batch system operations. The
Tooling Plate allows you to add specific fixturing or mounting hardware for your workpiece.
1.4.4 Digital Gauges
The D-580 Series Dispensing System features a Digital Fluid Pressure Gauge for high accuracy and easy
setup. It precisely regulates the air pressure required for fluid pressure control. A separate regulator and
gauge is used for regulating valve/tooling air pressure.
1.4.5 Integral Height Sensor
The Integral Height Sensor allows increased positional accuracy in fluid dispensing by automatically
controlling the gap of the dispense tip to the surface of your workpiece.
1.5 Optional Equipment
1.5.1 Advanced Dispensing Package (ADP)
The Advanced Dispensing Package consists of a camera, lens, light source, and a Single Dispense Head
Controller (SDHC). This advanced system uses fiducial patterns, corner or edge detection algorithms,
skew correction, and part skipping to locate dispensing sites. Two types of vision systems are available; a
Fixed Height Pattern Recognition System that is independent of Z-height, and a Variable Height Pattern
Recognition System that relies on the position of the Z-head for focus. Integration of this optional system
allows the user to take advantage of advanced features such as Dynamic Dispense Control (DDC) and
precise temperature control of fluid dispensed.
1.5.2 CAD Import
The D-580 Series Dispensing System features data-driven, offline programming with the CAD Import
program using CAD-generated data.
1.5.3 Service Station
The Service Station automatically controls two dispensing routines that affect the final quality of the fluid
delivery. It consists of a vacuum purge cup, which helps maintain a clean dispense tip (primarily for the
DispenseJet), and a tactile needle sensor, which aids in accurately determining needle/nozzle tip height
during setup.
1.5.4 Enclosure
The Enclosure provides a complete enclosure of the dispensing system, thus preventing inadvertent or
hazardous contact to a moving mechanism by an operator or technician.
