Programming
This section provides how-to procedures for the most commonly performed programming tasks. Refer to “How
to Create and Run a Program” on page 65 for an example of how to use the dispensing software to create
a complete program. If you have difficulty creating a program for your application, contact your Nordson EFD
representative. Before using this section:
• Complete all applicable installation tasks. Refer to “Installation” on page 17.
• Complete all required setup tasks. Refer to “Setup” on page 41.
• Refer to “Concepts” on page 22 for important robot programming concepts and for an overview of the
dispensing software screens and icons.
How to Rotate the Tip and Set the Angle of Rotation
To set the angle of tip rotation, you must first rotate the tip to the desired position, then open the command window
into which the value should be entered. You cannot directly enter the angle of tip rotation in a command window.
Follow these procedures to rotate the tip and to set the angle of rotation for a command window.
IMPORTANT:
• The tip will not rotate, either virtually or physically, until the tool centering calibration portion of the Robot Initial
Setup wizard has been performed. This calculation is Step 1 of the wizard.
• To physically rotate the dispense valve installed on the robot Z axis head, the system must be in the Tip mode.
The dispense valve will not physically rotate if the system is in the CCD mode.
• You cannot set the rotation angle of the tip inside a command window. To enter the tip rotation angle in a
command window, you must first rotate the tip to the desired position, then open a command window. The
system automatically populates the R field with the current angle of rotation.
Failure to set the angle of tip rotation as described in this section will compromise the integrity of the dispense
pattern. Set the desired angle of tip rotation before opening a command window.
