Inspect will help you to reach continuous
improvement goals through adhesive savings and reduced waste.
Economical and easy to use, the EcoBead Inspect lets you dispense
short, intermittent bead patterns and verify the placement of adhe-
sive on a surface.
Save adhesive and maintain bond strength.
Eective continuous improvement.
The ability to inspect adhesive application is invaluable; but there has been
no simple solution to meet this need – until now. No other solution is as
easy or aordable as Nordson's EcoBead Inspect.
With a patented, simple, drop-in design, the EcoBead Inspect delivers
signicant adhesive savings through the stitching functionality while
ensuring the integrity of the designated adhesive pattern through thermal
detection.
Simple adhesive verication.
The need to reprogram your PLC or to add conventional pattern control-
lers and sensors to your line is eliminated. The EcoBead™ Inspect is easy
to install and connects directly to a Saturn® Platinum (SP) solenoid valve,
which provides air to a MiniBlue® II adhesive applicator.
The EcoBead Inspect “learns” an incoming applicator pattern and imple-
ments a stitched pattern to realize signicant glue savings without compro-
mising overall pattern accuracy or bond strength.
Adhesive savings can range from 30 percent to over 50 percent. Your sav-
ings will depend on your application.
Intelligent and
connected.
Using a sensor mounted to the
front of the applicator, the EcoBead
Inspect veries glue placement start-
ing from the rst product with no
complicated programming. It can
interface with a parent machine, and
the output signal can be used to stop
the line, illuminate a light tower,
sound a horn or eject a product if
your parameters for adhesive applica-
tion are not met.
Reduce product returns.
Nordson has a long history of innovation, devoted to nding better solutions
for our customers. Nordson designed this verication solution to help custom-
ers reduce product rework and product returns.
The EcoBead Inspect allows users to conrm the quality of the seal on every
package, resulting in exponential cost-savings.
Customer-centered solution.
