Intertronics has announced a new rotary positive displacement valve for precise dispensing of high viscosity materials such as solder pastes and filled epoxies.
The I&J Fisnar PDV-1000 screw type metering valve is easily programmable for single shot or repeat cycle operation, and can be set up for automatic or manual operation. Constant motor speed, even with changing viscosity of the dispensed material, allows for consistent deposit sizes and reduces the risk of damage to motors by burning out. The valve's planetary gearbox allows for fast starts and stops (see Plate 7).

Both the valve and controller adapt for use with robotic dispensing systems. The luer lock adapter is stainless steel and material feed tubes are disposable for easy cleaning up.
