PRINT HEADS FOR VISCOUS FLUIDS & PASTES

Product catalog summary
Overview: The document provides detailed information on extrusion-based additive manufacturing solutions, specifically focusing on print heads for viscous fluids and pastes. It highlights the materials, technology, and integration capabilities of the print heads.
Materials: The document categorizes materials into 1-component and 2-component types. 1-component materials include silicones, abrasive pastes, waxes, acrylates, and more. 2-component materials include epoxy resins, acrylates, silicones, and polyurethanes.
Technology: The core technology is based on the Endless Piston Principle, which ensures high precision and repeatability in dispensing. This principle uses a progressive cavity pump for volumetric feeding, allowing for a pressure-stable linear pump characteristic curve. The technology supports continuous printing and high precision, even for heated materials.
Print Heads: The document describes two types of print heads: 1-component and 2-component. The vipro-HEAD 3 and vipro-HEAD 5 are highlighted, with theoretical volume flows ranging from 0.03 to 6.0 ml/min and weights of approximately 750g and 1100g, respectively.
Heating and Dispensing: The print heads can be equipped with a heating unit capable of reaching up to 70°C, ensuring optimal heat distribution. Dispensing needles are available for precise material flow, and a cartridge heater with a capacity of 55 ml is mentioned.
Integration: The print heads can be easily integrated into existing 3D printers, controlled via G-Code, and monitored through pressure sensors. Two actuation options are available: via stepper motor driver or STP/DIR signals.
Accessories and Sensors: The document lists accessories such as pressure sensors with a measurement range of 0-40 bar and static mixers for high precision. High precision needles are also available for various viscosities.
Material Handling: Systems for material emptying and treatment are discussed, offering continuous supply and homogeneous, bubble-free pastes and fluids. These systems are customizable for different viscosities and container volumes.
Contact Information: The document provides contact details for ViscoTec's global offices, including locations in America, Asia, Greater China, India, France, and Hong Kong.
