The PICO Nexμs injection system provides the networked control layer for compatible precision dispensing valves. The controller uses 24 VDC power, mounts on a DIN rail, and supports PROFINET, EtherNet/IP, TCP/IP-based NX communication, web access, and dispense logging. It is intended for integration into automated electronics manufacturing, semiconductor packaging, and other production equipment where valve control must connect with a PLC or plant network.
It should not be ordered as if it were a self-contained benchtop dispenser. Valve selection, fluid delivery, cables, cabinet hardware, triggering, programming, and commissioning all affect the final configuration. CHUANGKAIDA can supply equipment and support system integration, but an accurate proposal starts with application details rather than a controller part number alone.
The PICO Nexμs controller is the control layer—not a complete dispensing system
The controller coordinates valve operation and communications. It does not, by itself, define how a material will jet, how much fluid reaches the valve, or whether the deposit will meet your process window. Those results also depend on the selected valve, fluid behavior, feed arrangement, temperature, nozzle or dispensing interface, trigger strategy, and machine motion.
This distinction matters during purchasing. A low controller price can be misleading if the quote excludes the valve, connection hardware, integration work, or on-site commissioning. Review the PICO Nexμs controller information, then ask for a line-item scope showing what is included, optional, or supplied by your team.
Accuracy and repeatability should be evaluated at the deposit and finished-process level. Networked control can improve command consistency and traceability, but it cannot correct unstable fluid pressure, trapped air, unsuitable material rheology, nozzle buildup, or poor fixture control.
How the 24VDC DIN-rail controller connects valves, PLCs and plant systems
DIN-rail mounting places the controller inside an automation cabinet rather than occupying machine work space. The 24 VDC architecture suits typical industrial control panels, while the available industrial Ethernet options allow the dispensing function to exchange commands and status information with higher-level controls.
Before panel design is released, confirm the required power supply capacity, cable routing, connector access, grounding approach, available rail space, and acceptable cabinet temperature. These details are easy to overlook on a bill of materials and expensive to change after the enclosure is built.
PROFINET, EtherNet/IP, TCP/IP-based NX communication, web access, dispense logs and OT security considerations
Choose the interface used by the target machine rather than adding a protocol simply because it is available. PROFINET is relevant to compatible PLC environments; EtherNet/IP serves installations built around that network; TCP/IP-based NX communication can support system-level data exchange. The exact command set, data mapping, PLC function blocks, and software requirements should be checked against the controller revision and project architecture.
- Web access: confirm which setup, diagnostic, and monitoring functions are exposed through the browser interface.
- Dispense logs: define which records your quality system needs, how long data must be retained, and whether export is required. Do not assume that the presence of logs satisfies your traceability procedure.
- Network ownership: assign IP addresses, device names, and PLC tags before factory acceptance testing.
- OT security: place the controller within the plant’s approved industrial network design. Segmentation, controlled user access, change management, backups, and restricted remote connectivity should follow your internal policy. Network compatibility is not the same as a complete security program.
Match the valve configuration to the fluid, dispense pattern and production task
Start with what the process must deposit, not the controller name. Non-contact jetting can help where substrate contact is undesirable or access is restricted. A contact valve may be the better choice when the process permits touching the workpiece and the required deposit is better produced through controlled contact. Neither option is universally superior.
| Production scenario | Configuration direction | What to validate |
|---|---|---|
| Non-contact deposits on small or closely spaced features | PICO Pμlse XP jet valve candidate | Fluid jetting behavior, deposit shape, satellite formation, nozzle condition, cycle rate, and working distance |
| Contact dispensing where surface touch is acceptable | Compatible contact rubber valve candidate | Contact consistency, substrate variation, material transfer, valve wear, and fixture repeatability |
| Automated line with PLC coordination | Controller and valve selected with the machine network | Trigger timing, handshakes, fault recovery, recipe control, and data requirements |
Confirm PICO Pμlse XP jet valve or contact rubber valve compatibility through application testing
CHUANGKAIDA lists compatibility with the PICO Pμlse XP jet valve and a contact rubber valve, but a compatibility listing is not a process guarantee. Confirm the exact valve revision, controller revision, cables, and required accessories. Then test with production-representative fluid and parts.
Material condition matters. Record lot, age, storage history, temperature, mixing or degassing method, and any filler settling during the trial. A successful test with a freshly prepared sample may not represent material that has spent several hours on the line. Your acceptance criteria should cover deposit geometry, placement, missed shots, contamination, cycle behavior, and restart performance after planned pauses.
Approval evidence for a traceable, production-ready configuration
A purchasing description such as “PICO Nexμs jet valve controller” is not enough for engineering release. Build an approval package that links the quoted hardware to the tested process and the intended machine interface.
Verify material numbers, included and optional components, installation photographs, interface screenshots, test records and applicable compliance documents
- Confirm the controller and valve material numbers against current documentation. If your BOM references 7366000, ask CHUANGKAIDA to verify what that number identifies rather than assuming it covers the full system.
- Separate included items from options, customer-supplied components, spare parts, and commissioning services.
- Request photographs showing labels, connectors, cabinet installation, and the delivered condition where relevant.
- Capture interface screenshots and approved network settings for controls documentation.
- Retain application-test conditions, samples, results, and acceptance criteria.
- Request only the compliance documents applicable to the quoted configuration and destination. Do not infer certification from a product family name.
For used or rental equipment, add operating history, inspection findings, software or firmware status, visible condition, and the exact accessories supplied. That evidence is more useful than a broad claim that a unit has been “tested.”

Buyer FAQ: CHUANGKAIDA’s supplier and integration role, new or used condition, rentals, warranty, lead time, U.S. shipping and after-sales support
- Is CHUANGKAIDA only an equipment seller?
- No. The company also offers system integration, customized production-line services, installation, commissioning, spare parts, and turnkey engineering support. Ask which services are included in your specific quotation.
- Can I request new, used, or rental equipment?
- CHUANGKAIDA offers new equipment, rentals, and used-machine trading. Availability and condition vary, so the quote should identify the status of each item and document what has been inspected.
- What warranty and lead time apply?
- They must be confirmed for the quoted controller, valve, condition, and service package. Request written warranty coverage, exclusions, lead time, and the proposed remedy for an out-of-box failure.
- Can the system be shipped to the United States?
- Provide the U.S. destination and required delivery terms so shipping availability, freight scope, import responsibilities, and documentation can be confirmed before you issue a purchase order.
- What after-sales support is available?
- Define your need for remote troubleshooting, on-site service, commissioning, training, consumables, and critical spares. Response time and service location should be written into the commercial scope rather than assumed.
