This chapter contains relevant information about the valve. It describes the structure and the hardware configuration. 5.1 Composition The Microdispensing valves of Vermes Microdispensing are modular. A valve is composed of seven different modules: • Valve body (includes Electronics module and Actuator system) (1) •...
The nozzle unit (5) includes the nozzle adjusting nut, the tappet guidance and the O-ring-N (see Fig. 11). The nozzle insert (NI) is a separate item, easily to be cleaned and to be exchanged in case of need. For optimizing dispensing result, VERMES Microdispensing offer a range of nozzle insert (NI).
Which type is best suited for your application? This depends on different criteria. Air cooled valves should be your choice, if you dispense with lots of power or if you use a nozzle heater and constant temperatures are important. VTK-VS-BA-017e-B - User Manual MDS 3200j - Series...
