Valve dispenses for precision assembly
The 741MD-SS MicroDot dispense valve is designed for precision assembly operations where fluid deposits as small as 0.004in in diameter are required.
The 741MD-SS MicroDot dispense valve is designed for precision assembly operations where fluid deposits as small as 0.004in in diameter are required It applies consistent, precise amounts of most assembly fluids, including UV-cure adhesives, solvents, lubricants and epoxies

Lubrication system delivers a consistent film
The MicroCoat MC800 lubrication system gives metal stampers the flexibility to coat stock from less than 1 up to 48in wide with a fine, consistent film of oil.
Benchtop dispenser aids precision assembly
A new precision dispensing system applies accurate, consistent amounts of adhesives, lubricants, silicones, epoxies and other fluids used in benchtop assembly processes.
Unlike typical needle valves, the 741MD-SS features a unique design where the internal needle seats in the hub of the dispensing tip instead of in the valve body.
This approach provides exceptional control over deposit size by reducing the amount of dead fluid between the needle seat and substrate to the absolute minimum.
The compact, pneumatically operated 741MD-SS valve is ideal for critical bonding applications on medical devices, fibre optic components, disk drives and similar products with very fine tolerances.
It will provide extremely accurate results with the 22 to 33 gauge dispensing tips typically used in these processes.
The valve also features a handy calibration knob that allows the user to quickly restore the proper valve stroke setting and tip-to-substrate distance whenever a new dispensing tip is installed.
Operation of the MicroDot valve is regulated with an EFD ValveMate 7000 controller that simplifies setup and allows valve open time to be adjusted at the dispensing station.
The dedicated controller gives the user exceptional control over the amount of assembly fluid applied, without the need to reprogram a PLC (programmable logic controller) or interrupt production.
