SV2000N valves are available in 3, 12 and 18mm spray paths, suitable for urethanes, flux and silicone coatings. Are actuated by air pressure sequenced by SVC100 controller. Air pressure opens a needle in the valve, allowing material to flow; a separate air line creates pressure in the valve exit cap, atomizing the fluid. Controller sequences the time relationship between a fluid start signal and an atomizing signal. Can be installed to existing production lines with signal control or used as a bench-mounted spray station.

Cover Tape 2679 seals electronics components in polycarbonate carrier tapes for transport or storage. Made of polyester, and features smoother peels and improved transparency for visual inspection. Heat-activated and seals with carrier tape through a heat application. Improved static-dissipative technology protects from static events during transport and storage, reducing damage to components sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD). Improved surface resistance and stable peel properties allow for a smooth, consistent peel from the carrier tape, reducing risk of component migration and pick-and-place error. Comes in 480-m roll format in widths ranging from 5.2 to 49.4mm. RoHS compliant.
