• Lightweight and compact nozzle design optimized for robotic arm mounting.

• Standard 24V DC I/O for simple integration with PLCs and sensors.

• Generates a consistent spray pattern even at maximum cycling speeds.

• The premier powder applicator for fully automated, lights-out manufacturing environments.

Specific Application Scenario
In an automotive parts factory, a six-axis robot arm equipped with this valve precisely sprays a conductive powder onto a plastic fuel tank component to prepare it for subsequent electrostatic painting.

Factory Production Floor
These valves are assembled in an ESD-protected area. Each unit undergoes a rigorous high-speed endurance test, where it is cycled millions of times while its response time and spray consistency are monitored by laser sensors.

Packing and Transportation
The valve is shipped in a custom foam-insulated crate that includes a dedicated spot for the valve, its pre-wired connector, and a set of documentation including integration manuals and test reports.

FAQ

• Q: What is the response time (on/off) for this high-speed powder spray valve?
  A: The typical response time is less than 5 milliseconds, allowing for extremely precise start/stop control.

• Q: What type of communication interface does this automated dispensing valve support?
  A: While it operates on a simple 24V DC signal, it can be paired with our digital I/O controller for more advanced PROFINET or EtherCAT communication.

• Q: Can the nozzle design be customized for a specific spray angle to suit my robot's path?
  A: Absolutely, we offer custom nozzle geometries and angles to ensure optimal coverage based on your robot's programmed trajectory.

• Q: How is this powder applicator powered and controlled?
  A: It requires a 24V DC power supply for the solenoid and a separate, regulated air supply for the powder. Control is via a simple digital signal from your PLC or robot controller.

• Q: Do you provide mounting brackets for common robot models?
  A: Yes, we offer a range of standard and custom mounting brackets for major robotic brands like KUKA, FANUC, ABB, and Yaskawa.
