Nordson EFD, a Nordson company, launched the 7160RA ValveMate controller. The controller provides an intuitive way to program Nordson EFD’s 782RA internal Radial Spray Valve and 7860C-RS Radial Spinner System. The controller’s unique microprocessor circuitry provides exact time control of the dispense cycle with an improved user interface.
“The valves used for dispensing are very important, but it is the controller that actually drives the consistency and reliability of the dispensing process”, said Claude Bergeron, Nordson EFD global product line manager. “ValveMate controllers provide the primary control of the deposit size. They bring fluid dispensing control close to the dispense valve and provide numerous user-friendly features that simplify valve set-up and operation, maximising automated assembly machine efficiency and convenience.”
Radial Spinner Systems apply consistent bands of low to medium viscosity fluids, such as lubricants, solvents and silicone oils. During operation, the system dispenses a controlled amount of fluid onto a spinning disk. As the fluid leaves the edge of the disk, it is evenly distributed onto the production part. When controlled by the ValveMate 7160RA, the process combines precision with convenience to facilitate radial dispensing applications.
