xQR41 MicroDot needle valve features a 60% smaller form factor than standard valves, an exchangeable modular design for greater customization and process control, and a quick release clasp. Is 66mm x 23.7mm and enables multiple valves to be mounted closer together. Reportedly ideal for automated assembly processes, the needle valve can dispense in tighter spaces and at more complex angles. Weighs 141.4g and can be fed from a variety of reservoirs, syringe barrels, external cartridges, or tanks. QR clasp secures fluid body to air actuator and can be removed with a turn of a thumbscrew. Applies micro-deposits as small as 150µm of low- to high-viscosity fluids onto a substrate. Can be configured with stroke adjustable or non-adjustable cap, BackPack valve actuator, low-profile mounting block, and 90° air and fluid inlet fittings. Fluid body can be aligned and locked at 360° intervals to accommodate mounting, positioning, and fluid inlet alignment needs.
