Nordson EFD has introduced two valve controllers to increase output and profitability for manufacturers in the product assembly market. The ValveMate 7100 and ValveMate 7140 valve controllers utilise the company's dispensing technology to apply accurate and repeatable amounts of adhesives and lubricants to assemble medical devices and portable electronics. The valve controllers are suitable for life science, electronics and automotive industries.
The ValveMate 7100 valve controller produces accurate, repeatable dots or neat, uniform stripes in bonding, sealing and filling applications whereas the ValveMate 7140 valve controller generates uniform spray patterns in coating, marking and lubrication processes. The company also offers the ValveMate 8000 valve controller, which can operate a maximum of four dispense valves, and the ValveMate 8040 spray valve controller, which can operate a maximum of two spray valves. The valve controllers are designed for automated and semi-automated fluid dispensing processes. They provide a cost-effective way to regulate the dispensing cycle and keep assembly lines running at maximum speed, without the need for time-consuming programming or mechanical adjustments that require the production line to be shut down.
