Techcon Systems’ TS7000 Interchangeable Material Path (IMP) Series Rotary valve is based on the technology of its TS5000 Series Rotary Microvalve. Building on the strengths of this platform, the new model is designed with various technical advances and flexibility features such as: no “dead fluid volume”, field replaceable feed screw/cartridge assembly, interchangeable with TS5000DMP feed screw inserts, flexible motor, syringe, and needle mounting option. Benefits of these features include precise and repeatable shot sizes, low maintenance cost, and quick and easy installation.

The TS7000 IMP Series Valve is available in 3 feed screw sizes (16-pitch, 8-pitch and high output 8-pitch), all made of precision hardened steel. An encoder motor version is available for applications requiring closed-loop motor control with encoder feedback. The valve is said to provide fast, repeatable dispensing of medium- to high-viscosity fluids and pastes. Typical applications for this product include: small-dot dispensing of dispensable-grade solder pastes, silver epoxies, surface mount adhesives, dispensing beads of structural adhesives, Cavity & dam filling and glob top dispensing.
