What is Needle Nozzle?

Needle Nozzle is one of the key parts to achieve high-quality application at the manufacturing site. In order to respond to a wide range of applications, such as discharge, adhesion, and painting of precise liquids, there are various types and shapes, and the right selection according to the characteristics and applications of the product greatly improves the efficiency and quality of the manufacturing process.

In this article, we will explain in detail the broad lineup of Musashi Engineering's Needle Nozzle and the points of selection.

※Our company does not refer to the Nozzle Needle but the Needle Nozzle.

How to choose Needle Nozzle

There are four key points when selecting Needle Nozzle.

  1. Select Nozzle of material that matches the type of liquid agent
  2. Select Nozzle with a shape that matches the viscosity of the liquid
  3. Select the Nozzle that matches the shape of the object to be applied (work)
  4. Select the Nozzle that was in the shape of the application

 

The material of the needle Nozzle is broadly classified into metal or resin. For example, if the liquid is a material that is not compatible with resins such as organic solvents, it is desirable to select a metal. On the other hand, when dealing with materials that are reactive to metal, such as anaerobic adhesives, it is necessary to select a resin.

Made of metal Made of resin

In addition, not only reactivity with liquid agents but also the presence or absence of permeability may be a condition for judgment. When using UV-curable resin that reacts and hardens with UV light, it is necessary to use a needle Nozzle made of materials that do not pass UV light.

The shape of the needle Nozzle is broadly classified into straight and taper shape. Nozzle, which has a straight shape, generally has a pipe shape with a certain length, so the piping resistance is high and the high viscosity liquid is difficult to flow, but it has the advantage that low viscosity liquid is difficult to liquidate. On the other hand, Nozzle, which has a taper shape, has a small resistance during liquid discharge and has excellent fluidity, making it suitable for expelling high viscosity materials in a short time.

Straight shape Taper shape
Low viscosity material is hard to liquidate Easy to discharge high viscosity material

 

Depending on the shape of the workpiece, the point of selection is whether you can access the place Nozzle wants to apply. For example, if a taper shape is used, a straight-shaped Nozzle is used, or a product with a long needle tip is used. Depending on the workability, Nozzle made of resin that is difficult to damage the workpiece may be suitable. There is also a lineup of curved Nozzle that can penetrate narrow areas.

In many adhesive processes, application shapes of dots and lines are used, but special Nozzle can be applied in different shapes. A typical example is Slit Nozzle, which allows you to perform coating in a single application operation.

Nozzle Kit

Reduce these four points and select the best Nozzle according to your purpose. When choosing the type and size of Nozzle, we also recommend the Nozzle kit with a basic Nozzle set. There are nine types of Nozzle in total. Of course, if you have any questions or concerns about the selection or application evaluation, please contact us.
