EFD Introduces New Positive Displacement Fluid Dispenser
The Ultra 2800 DispensLink system from EFD (East Providence, RI) uses positive displacement technology to produce consistent, volumetric shots of epoxies, adhesives and many other assembly fluids—regardless of changes in fluid volume, viscosity or temperature.
The mechanical benchtop system operates on electricity and does not require the use of compressed air. It is ideal for applications that require precise metering of assembly fluids with changing viscosities, or where specific flow rates are necessary.
The patented technology uses a stepper motor and hydraulic cable to advance and retract a piston inside the fluid reservoir in precise increments. This results in consistent volumetric fluid deposits, without the need to adjust settings to compensate for changes in fluid characteristics.
EFD Inc. is a wholly owned subsidiary of Nordson Corp., a producer of precision dispensing equipment. Nordson and EFD systems apply adhesives, sealants and other assembly fluids to a range of consumer and industrial products during manufacturing operations.
