Jet Valve Dispensing System User Guide TS9800 PIEZO JET VALVE DESCRIPTION The TS9800 Series Piezo Jet Valve is a piezoelectric driven, non-contact dispensing valve capable of handling fluid at different viscosities. Piezo Jet Valve offers a fast-jetting action producing hundreds of accurate deposits in less than one second.
SET UP INSTRUCTIONS 4.1 Mounting & Connection The TS9800 Series Piezo Jet Valve should be used on an automated XYZ table. It is very important that the valve is mounted on the Z-axis gantry, in a secure manner, that will not allow loosening during dispense operation.
