OverviewNordson EFD MicroMark® spray marking valve systems provide programmable air‑cleaned spray marking for color coding, pass/fail indication and production/test status marking. Systems produce round patterns and stripes from 5.0 mm (0.20") to 30.4 mm (1.20") wide with no overspray when configured correctly. Valves operate manually or integrate with external control systems for timed or signal‑triggered marking.
Features- Programmable air delay to prevent nozzle clogging, dripping and drying
- High repeatability—consistent size and placement of marks
- Cycle rate exceeding 400 cycles per minute (application dependent)
- No mist or overspray with proper setup
- Low‑maintenance design minimizing downtime
- Operation: manual activation or external system interface
Compatible Fluids- Marking inks
- Marking paints (pigmented fluids)
781RC MicroMark recirculating spray marking systemThe 781RC configuration adds a recirculation pump to keep pigments suspended, delivering uniform spray patterns and reducing clogging, missed shots and maintenance frequency.
System options and configurations- Complete 781RC system: 781RC-SS spray valve, ValveMate 8040 controller (single in‑line solenoid), recirculation pump enclosure assembly, and fluid reservoir.
- Complete MM781-SS system: 781S-28 dispense valve, ValveMate 8040 controller, and fluid reservoir.
- Valves can be used standalone (manual activation) or integrated with automated dispensing equipment for higher throughput.
Resources and documentationDatasheets, operating manuals, quick start guides, valve rebuild and maintenance guides, and technical literature are available for MicroMark systems, valves and ValveMate controllers.
Technical specifications- Marking width: 5.0 mm (0.20") to 30.4 mm (1.20")
- Pattern types: round patterns and stripes
- Cycle rate: exceeds 400 cycles per minute (typical, depends on configuration)
- Fluid handling: marking inks and marking paints; 781RC provides recirculating pump to keep pigments suspended
- Activation: manual or via external control signals / system interface
- Typical components: 781RC-SS spray valve, 781S-28 dispense valve, ValveMate 8040 controller, recirculation pump enclosure, fluid reservoir
- Design focus: consistent mark size/placement, elimination of clogging and missed shots, reduced overspray
