Applicator improves robotic
fluid-dispensing
Servo-ribbon applicator combines an AC Servo-Motor and fluid-dispense valve to robotically position the valve's tip at the correct angle to deliver a precise ribbon-shaped material pattern.
Sealant Equipment and Engineering has introduced the Servo-Ribbon Applicator (SRA), a new concept in dispense-valve applicator tools It combines an AC Servo-Motor and fluid-dispense valve to robotically position the valve's tip at the correct angle to deliver a precise ribbon-shaped material pattern

No-drip mix-dispense valves are adjustable
Adjustable stroke mix-dispense valves provide controlled flow of two-component adhesives and sealants such as silicones, epoxies, urethanes and acrylics.
While following the bead path, the SRA valve turns the dispense tip without turning the fluid-dispense valve.
This unique dispensing action significantly improves the valve's reach, material-flow rate, tip-speed and cycle time while increasing the service life of moving parts such as robot wrists, hoses and cables.
The SRA valve is ideal for fixed, automated or robotic fluid-dispensing applications with shaped-orifice fluid nozzles such as a slotted ribbon tip, fan-spray tip or a side-outlet extruded-bead tip.
It dispenses PVC sealers, epoxies, polyurethanes, paints, silicones, mastics, lubricants and other pumpable materials.
