Appendix A, Command Function Reference
(continued)
Wait Point
Click
Function
Registers a Wait Point to occur immediately after the previous command. When this command occurs, the
dispensing tip waits at the end point of the previous command for the specified Wait Time (in seconds).
Z Clearance Setup
Click
Function
Specifies the height to which the dispensing tip raises after each dispense command. The purpose of Z
Clearance is to raise the tip high enough so that it clears all obstacles as it moves from one point to another.
If there are no obstacles between any of the points, a small Z Clearance value, such as 5 mm, can be used to
minimize the program cycle time.
Z Clearance is further defined as an absolute value (0) or a relative value (1). When specified as a relative value,
it is the distance the tip raises relative to the taught point location. When it is specified as an absolute value, it is
the distance from the Z axis zero position to which the tip raises regardless of the Z-axis value of the taught point
location.
Nordson EFD recommends inserting a Z Clearance command at the beginning of a program.
Parameter
Description (see illustrations below)
Value
The distance (in mm) the tip raises after dispensing.
0(Abs), 1(Rel)
How the tip raises: 0(Abs) = absolute, 1(Rel) = relative.
Z Clearance = 10 mm relative
Z Clearance = 10 mm absolute
