Solder Paste Jetting System

Published on : Tuesday 30-11--0001

Nordson EFD, a Nordson company and the world’s leading precision fluid dispensing systems manufacturer, has introduced the new Liquidyn® P-Jet SolderPlus® jet valve and solder paste system. This non-contact jetting system is designed specifically to jet Nordson EFD SolderPlus dispensing paste with high accuracy and repeatability. The jet dispensing system eliminates the need for Z-axis movement. This allows for significantly faster production speeds when compared to contact dispensing. It also makes it easy to dispense solder paste consistently onto uneven surfaces or parts with varying tolerances. In addition, the modular design of the P-Jet SolderPlus valve simplifies service and maintenance. Suitable for jetting EFD’s specialized, ISO-certified solder paste formulations in a wide variety of leaded and lead-free alloys, the jet valve dispenses deposits as small as 700 μm in diameter at dispensing frequencies up to 25Hz. Pre-qualified SolderPlus jetting formulations save time and streamline implementation. EFD solder paste representatives can help identify the solder paste formulation that best suits each application.

“Our P-Jet SolderPlus jet valve is designed to work as a complete system with our own pre-qualified dispensing paste,” said Julian Greiner, Global Product Line Manager – Jet Valves, Nordson EFD. “This is a game changer in our industry in terms of the ability to jet solder paste consistently and reliably with high accuracy, even on hard-to-access, uneven or delicate substrates. Manufacturers will benefit from a faster, more controlled solder paste dispensing process, and our complete system significantly reduces the time it takes to implement.” The pneumatic P-Jet SolderPlus valve features a low cost of ownership. Even the most demanding processes are easy to implement with this innovative jetting solution from Nordson EFD.

Nordson EFD designs and manufactures precision fluid dispensing systems for benchtop assembly processes and automated assembly lines. By enabling manufacturers to apply the same amount of adhesive, lubricant or other assembly fluid to every part, every time, EFD dispensing systems are helping companies in a wide variety of industries increase throughput, improve quality, and lower their production costs.

Nordson Corporation engineers, manufactures, and markets differentiated products and systems used for dispensing and processing adhesives, coatings, polymers, sealants and biomaterials; and for managing fluids, testing and inspecting for quality, treating surfaces and curing. These products are supported with extensive application expertise and direct global sales and service.
