What You Need to Know About Dispensing
January 19, 2016 | Barry Matties and Stephen Las Marias, I-Connect007Estimated reading time: 8 minutes
Wong: Customers will be able to get closer to real-time monitoring of what they're actually dispensing and will be able to verify that they're getting the correct amount of material that they're dispensing to their parts. They'll be able to then trace that back with logging as well as bar code reading and be able to tie that back to a known dispensed volume or process that a customer might see on one of our pieces of equipment.
Las Marias: Is there anything else that we should share with the industry that we haven't talked about?
Wong: It seems like we're seeing a lot of customers wanting to ensure quality, and so they're looking for a lot more features built into the system for what normally would have been downstream inspection or other types of dispensed quality validation. There's a lot of movement towards having an automated optical inspection that could be integrated downstream from our platforms. We're also looking at having some new post-dispense inspection capabilities using the onboard vision system for our dispense platforms. This is one of the areas that we're seeing a lot more interest in and we continue to innovate and grow our capabilities to meet their requirements.
Matties: So adding inspection at the point of processing?
Wong: Yes. Unfortunately, there's always that trade off that you have to make. If you do it on the system that means that your system isn't dispensing. So you always have to make the tradeoff of, "If I want my dispensing system dispensing as much as possible, then I want to buy an offline inspection unit." Otherwise, if you're just doing spot checks, having an onboard system can be useful for you to do, not a 100% inspection, but a periodic inspection of parts. It comes down to how much UPH you are giving up in order to have that quality.
Matties: I think in the automotive industry, they're really committed to inspections because cost of failure is just too much.
Wong: Cost of failure is also just ensuring the reliability of the parts. You have parts that are supposed to last 10–25 years, so being able to have that kind of inspection and traceability is very important to them. If the process results are all logged they can be able to show for when they have issues downstream or in their own internal testing of different parts that they can start fine tuning the processes. That's something that they always come back to Nordson ASYMTEK and check for.
Matties: All right, good. Well thank you very much, Garrett.
Wong: Thank you very much, guys.
