Diaphragm valve for UV adhesives
Dispensing of UV adhesive is a subject close to the hearts of the people at Intertronics so they are pleased to introduce the new DV509-UV-LF. This diaphragm valve dispenser comes from the same stable at I&J Fisnar as the pneumatic controller which makes this such an easy to use package, especially for UV curing resins. The valve's high cycling rate of 200 per minute makes it ideal for automated systems in all industries.
The DV500-UV-LF has been specifically constructed to provide shielding from outside light and to reduce metal contact, which can sometimes cause UV resin to gel. The diaphragm itself is opened by pneumatic solenoid and is positively closed by a return spring, thus ensuring precision of operation. Construction of the valve includes a wetted chamber compatible with the flow of low to medium viscosity UV materials which can otherwise prove difficult.
UV cure resins are becoming increasingly popular because of their advantages in offering long component positioning times coupled with a quick cure of the final assembly.
