Selection Guide: Single-Sided or Double-Sided? An In-Depth Look at MY-3A Dispensing Valve Configuration Choices

When faced with the single-sided metal valve and double-sided metal valve options offered by the MY-3A series, how should users make the most suitable choice based on their specific needs? While both configurations are built on the same core technology (4.6 kg working pressure, drive motor, and press principle), they each emphasize different aspects of application flexibility and equipment integration.

The MY-3A single-sided metal valve represents the most versatile and flexible standard configuration. It accommodates the vast majority of single-point, single-path dispensing tasks. If you are:

Upgrading or replacing valve bodies on existing single-head dispensing equipment. 

Requiring only a single independent dispensing station in your production process.

Seeking to meet basic precision dispensing requirements with a more economical investment. 

Then the single-sided valve is your ideal choice. Its compact design and straightforward installation/commissioning seamlessly integrate into equipment ranging from manual dispensing stations to standard automated platforms, delivering stable and reliable performance.

The MY-3A Dual-Side Metal Valve represents a highly efficient integrated solution. It combines two independently operating valve bodies into a single modular unit controlled by a unified drive system. Choosing the dual-side valve delivers these core advantages:

Doubled Efficiency: Simultaneously dispense at two points on the same platform, or use one valve for dispensing while the other performs auxiliary actions like blowing or dipping, significantly reducing cycle times.

Space Savings: Eliminates the need for an additional drive unit installation space, particularly for multi-axis robots or gantry systems, enabling more compact structures and flexible motion.

Synchronized Consistency: Both valve bodies are driven by the same system, ensuring absolute synchronization and consistency in dispensing during dual-point applications. This is especially suitable for workpieces requiring mirrored or symmetrical dispensing.

Key Decision Points: Evaluate your production cycle requirements. If single-valve operation speed becomes a bottleneck, the dual-valve system is the key to breaking through capacity constraints. Examine your product design. If two fully synchronized adhesive dots or lines are required on a single workpiece, the dual-valve system is a technical necessity. Finally, consider your equipment layout and budget. Dual-valve systems typically require matching systems supporting dual-valve control, which may involve higher initial investment but delivers significant long-term productivity gains.

Regardless of configuration, the MY-3A series delivers consistent metal durability and precise adhesive control at 4.6 kg pressure, safeguarding your high-standard production.
