60% smaller, modular needle valve with Quick Release clasp is easy to clean and maintain in under 2 minutes – reducing downtime while boosting productivity
EAST PROVIDENCE, R.I. -Tuesday, April 3rd 2018 [ AETOS Wire ]
(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Nordson EFD, a Nordson company (NASDAQ: NDSN), the world’s leading precision fluid dispensing systems manufacturer, introduces the xQR41V Series needle valve. The valve features a 60% smaller form factor than standard valves, an exchangeable, modular design for greater customization and process control, and a patent-pending Quick Release (QR) clasp to replace wetted parts in seconds. The new valve expands manufacturing opportunities for multiple applications and industries, especially those related to electronics, automotive, medical, and general industry.
With a smaller profile of 64 mm length x 23.7 mm diameter (2.50” x 0.93”), operators can mount several xQR41V needle valves close together for greater output per batch. Ideal for automated assembly processes, the smaller form factor makes it easier to dispense in tight spaces and at more complex angles. It also results in a smaller wetted path, resulting in less retained fluid volume, which minimizes fluid waste.
The design of the xQR41V makes it suitable for use with all Nordson EFD dispensing tips, including general purpose and SmoothFlow™ tapered tips. Its modularity allows it to be configured with a BackPack™ valve actuator or low-profile mounting block and 90° or straight fluid inlet fittings so operators can adjust the valve to meet different application requirements. The BackPack actuator allows high-speed cycle rates exceeding 60-80Hz. Modular parts are available pre-installed on new valves or can be ordered separately to retrofit onto existing valves.
“A lot of thought and consideration went into the design of the xQR41V needle valve,” said Claude Bergeron, product line manager – valves, Nordson EFD. “It was designed to deliver the exceptional accuracy and repeatability an EFD dispense valve is known for, as well as versatility to use with a wide range of fluid viscosities and application requirements.”
Combined with a 60% smaller size and the QR clasp, which reduces downtime for maintenance to less than two minutes, the xQR41V is the next generation of precision dispensing technology.
