Volumetric dispensing for many materials
1 min read
Intertronics' introduction of the eco-PEN 450 offers a greater capacity for high accuracy and highly repeatable volumetric dispensing as well as addressing the needs of a wide range of low to medium viscosity applications.
These include oils and fats, colour mixes, silicones, sealing compounds, adhesives and even abrasive media, which can be easily handled by the innovative precision rotor-stator mechanism referred to as an 'endless piston' by manufacturers ViscoTec.
The product deals easily with dots and beads as small as 0.004 ml at up to 6 ml per minute, featuring viscosity autonomous application at pressures from 16 to 20 bar via Luer lock nozzles or needles. Easy fitment to robotic systems is facilitated by the dispenser's controllers which are available in bench top or panel-mount format. The units are microprocessor controlled and simple to operate, without submenu, and with graphic support. External signals can be connected via I/O ports to a PLC for control in automated lines.
A wide variety of dosing programs with part-management are storable. The supply pressure is monitored and can be displayed digitally. Error messages for filling level and motor current may also be monitored via an RS232 interface.
