Nordson EFD Wins a 2024 Edge Award for the PICO® Nexμs Jetting System
October 8, 2024 | Nordson EFDEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Nordson EFD, a Nordson company (NASDAQ: NDSN), announced its new-to-market PICO Nexμs jetting system has been recognized by Machine Design magazine with a 2024 Edge Award in the Automation & IIOT category. This innovative product was designed for Smart Factory readiness as it connects fluid dispensing to Industry 4.0 efficiencies. PICO Nexμs users (operators) can control, manage and monitor jetting functions via Industrial Ethernet protocols from a human machine interface (HMI) of their choice at the point of dispense. An informational product video can be found here. Nordson EFD is a leading OEM of precision fluid dispensing systems with offices, applications laboratories and technical support staff in 30 countries worldwide.
The annual Edge Awards honor standout new products developed by leading technology and solution providers in the engineering community. The introduction of Nordson’s PICO Nexμs Jetting System marks a new era in precision fluid dispensing applications as it provides real time insights for data-driven process control and production. The product’s web-based interface enables remote programming and on-demand inspection of fluid dispensing functions from a personal computer, laptop and other mobile devices, which dramatically boosts productivity. The controller is a compact design employing standard 24V and DIN-rail mounted plug-and-play technology to optimize production space utilization especially where multiple valves are required.
“We are honored to win the prestigious Edge Award for the PICO Nexμs product launched earlier this year,” says Claude Bergeron, Nordson EFD Product Line Manager of Jetting Systems. “This revolutionary technology introduces smart manufacturing advances to traditional fluid dispensing systems. The product name “Nexus” is all about connections, as PICO Nexμs provides plug-and-play Smart Factory integration with very robust network connectivity. The system can be quickly integrated into manufacturing processes with an intuitive interface to streamline the setup process. This is next-level innovation and a big win for the manufacturing industry.”

The Chemical Connection: Can Changing Spray Nozzles Improve My Etch Quality?
01/13/2025 | Don Ball -- Column: The Chemical ConnectionWhenever the need to improve etch quality due to tightening customer specifications arises, the inevitable question asked early on is, “Will going to a different type of nozzle or nozzle flow rate make my etch quality better?” Unfortunately, the answer is most likely, “Probably not.” (Sorry, folks.) So, why not?
Happy’s Tech Talk #34: Producibility and Other Pseudo-metrics
11/12/2024 | Happy Holden -- Column: Happy’s Tech TalkAs an engineer, I thrive on data, and one of my favorite forms is metrics. However, the one metric that has always challenged me is producibility. I define this as more than just passing a DRC in CAM, but the entire envelope of “simplicity of design,” “suitability for test,” and many more. Yet, producibility seemed to be different for different engineers and we had no clear way to establish and define producibility other than opinion. When I worked at HP, the company invested in a methodology called design for manufacturing and assembly using the GE/Hitachi Methodology and Dewhurst-Boothroyd software. Finally, I had a methodology that created a producibility score.
