EFD(R)´s New PicoDot(TM) Jet Dispensing Systems Aid Product Miniaturization Trend for Manufacturers



    EFD, Inc., a subsidiary of Nordson Corporation (NASDAQ: NDSN)
    introduces the new PicoDot Jet Dispensing Systems.

    As medical devices, electronics, cell phones and many other
    products continue to put more and more features into smaller and
    smaller packages, manufacturers need new ways to apply adhesives,
    coatings and other assembly fluids in smaller, more precise amounts
    than ever before.

    The PicoDot jet dispensing systems bring significant new
    capabilities to EFD´s extensive line of precision fluid dispensing
    systems. Because the PicoDot systems do not contact the substrate,
    they will enable manufacturers to deposit controlled amounts of fluid
    on hard-to-access areas, uneven surfaces, or in applications where a
    conventional dispensing needle cannot be used--at speeds up to 150
    dots per second.

    Multiple PicoDot system configurations make it possible to
    dispense a wide variety of low (50-1,000mPas), medium
    (50-200,000mPas), and high (1,000-500,000mPas) viscosity fluids in a
    wide range of manufacturing applications.

    Capabilities of the PicoDot Jet Dispensing System include:

    -- Non-contact jetting, including three-dimensional substrates

    -- Covering areas with droplet arrays, with shot size starting at
    0.002 ul (2 nl) to flow rates up to 300 g/min (10 oz/min)

    -- Optional precision needle adapter allows contact dispensing
    with excellent consistency and highest positioning precision

    -- Integrated heater available for precise viscosity control

    EFD´s products are available through their worldwide network
    operating in over 30 countries. For more information, contact EFD at
