Fluid dispensing valves and robots
Techcon will be showing new fluid dispensing valves and robots at productronica. On display will be a new disposable material path (DMP) diaphragm valve. the - TS5624DMP - which features a “first to market” disposable material path, enabling difficult fluids and pre-mixed two-part epoxies to be dispensed without the need for frequent cleaning.
The entire wetted area can simply be replaced in a matter of seconds, while the valve stays on the production line. The valve comes standard with a mounting bracket kit, valve air hose, luer lock fluid line, sample packet of DMP inserts and a dispensing tip selection pack. Typical applications include dispensing pre-mixed two-part epoxies and cyanoacrylate in bonding applications.
The TS9200D Jet Tech is a non-contact dispense valve capable of jetting fluid viscosities to 400,000 Cps. Jet Tech offers a fast jetting action producing hundreds of precise droplets in less than one second. The main feature of the valve is a single, easily replaceable diaphragm to eliminate dynamic fluid seals found in other jet valves. No longer is it necessary to disassemble, clean and replace worn seals, which translates into saving time and money. The diaphragm also allows fast cycle rates because of its very small mass.
There is no large sliding valve stem that slows down the process. With this novel diaphragm design, the energy needed to eject a drop can be adjusted providing a wider processwindow.
Also at the show will be the TS9300HMSeries PUR Hot Melt Jet System. The TS9300HM Diaphragm Jet with advanced high-temperature diaphragm is simple to use and especially easy to clean. Only the nozzle plate and diaphragm are in contact with the fluid. The jetting mechanism is isolated from the fluid to ensure contamination-free operation. The TS9300HM syringe heating chamber features a disposable feed tube that can be easily removed together with the syringe to eliminate the need to clean residual PUR between the syringe and the jet. This unique feature simplifies the cleaning process and allows quick syringe exchange.
