“Adhere” diaphragm valve dispenses UV adhesives

“Adhere” diaphragm valve dispenses 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 world leading 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/min 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. In addition to a very wide range of UV adhesives and coatings, the “adhere” brand at Intertronics covers a comprehensive range of liquid dispensing equipment, ideal for adhesives, epoxies, coatings, sealants, gaskets, greases, oils – and many other fluids and pastes. They are able to work with single component materials and two or more components through their metering and mixing products and have anything from simple hand-held guns to sophisticated four-axis dispensing robots. Adhesive dispensers are a specialty. They also have a full selection of dispensing consumable products, like needles, nozzles, barrels, syringes and cartridges.
