60% smaller, modular needle valve with Quick
Release clasp is easy to clean and maintain in under 2 minutes –
reducing downtime while boosting productivity
Nordson EFD, a Nordson company (NASDAQ: NDSN), the world’s
leading precision fluid dispensing systems manufacturer, introduces
the xQR41V Series needle valve. The valve features a 60% smaller
form factor than standard valves, an exchangeable, modular design
for greater customization and process control, and a patent-pending
Quick Release (QR) clasp to replace wetted parts in seconds. The
new valve expands manufacturing opportunities for multiple
applications and industries, especially those related to
electronics, automotive, medical, and general industry.

With a smaller profile of 64 mm length x 23.7 mm diameter (2.50”
x 0.93”), operators can mount several xQR41V needle valves close
together for greater output per batch. Ideal for automated assembly
processes, the smaller form factor makes it easier to dispense in
tight spaces and at more complex angles. It also results in a
smaller wetted path, resulting in less retained fluid volume, which
minimizes fluid waste.
The design of the xQR41V makes it suitable for use with all
Nordson EFD dispensing tips, including general purpose and
SmoothFlow™ tapered tips. Its modularity allows it to be configured
with a BackPack™ valve actuator or low-profile mounting block and
90° or straight fluid inlet fittings so operators can adjust the
valve to meet different application requirements. The BackPack
actuator allows high-speed cycle rates exceeding 60-80Hz. Modular
parts are available pre-installed on new valves or can be ordered
separately to retrofit onto existing valves.
“A lot of thought and consideration went into the design of the
xQR41V needle valve,” said Claude Bergeron, product line manager –
valves, Nordson EFD. “It was designed to deliver the exceptional
accuracy and repeatability an EFD dispense valve is known for, as
well as versatility to use with a wide range of fluid viscosities
and application requirements.”
Combined with a 60% smaller size and the QR clasp, which reduces
downtime for maintenance to less than two minutes, the xQR41V is
the next generation of precision dispensing technology.
