Michael Gavican, a Nordson EFD thought leader, will join host Emily Whigham on the daily video podcast Trade Talk Today on November 19 at 3pm, at the trade fair. The video podcast covers Compamed news and highlights, and drives discussions on industry topics, product insights and exhibitor information. Mr. Gavican, Nordson EFD Business Development Manager for EMEA, is focused on the Medical and Life Sciences industries and is based in Ireland. Gavican has 25 years of experience in the medical industry and has worked on both the supplier and OEM side of the medical device industry.
Four unique demonstrations will be showcased on a vision-guided PROPlus robotic fluid dispensing system. This solution is Nordson EFD’s most advanced assembly automation technology designed and configured for accuracy and simplified usability. A needle bonding demonstration highlights the automation process of bonding needles to hubs with a very high degree of precision, maintaining quality and manufacturing speed. The system’s integrated camera and specialized software precisely locate the hub and cannula to ensure the adhesive is applied exactly where it is needed. The robot dispenses an exact amount of light-curing adhesive into the small cylindrical well of the hub to form a secure bond that prevents the needle from detaching during use and ensures that no fluids leak from the connection point.
Also demonstrated on the PROPlus will be three other complex assembly applications that highlight the system’s versatility to handle diverse dispensing operations. The second demonstration utilizes a Cardiac Care Card with intricate shapes to illustrate micron-level deposition and the placement of fluids such as adhesives, lubricants, two-part epoxies, UV-cure adhesives, and other assembly fluids (the demonstration uses an inert analog fluid for safety purposes). The third demo shines a light on the UV dry cure process illustrated with the use of blood glucose test strips and the automated dispensing system. The fourth demonstration features the protective sleeve of a continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) device, another prime example of a complex design that is meticulously assembled using fluid dispense technology.
