Precision liquid dispensing: fast, accurate jetting valves

Two non-contact jetting valves for low and medium viscosity liquids have been launched in the UK by Intertronics. The Vermes MDS 3010+ and Vermes MDS 3020+ microdispensing jetting valves are designed for precision dispensing of material in small volumes at fast speeds with very high accuracy and repeatability. The piezo-actuated valves satisfy the trend for increasing miniaturisation of components in production processes - demanding ever-smaller deposits of beads and lines - as well as the requirement to dispense on 3D shapes, inside assemblies and other irregular applications.
