Nordson EFD, a Nordson company (NASDAQ: NDSN) has introduced 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.
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.
