CEO INTERVIEW WITH ANTHONY HYNES, PRECISION VALVE 8-

valve‘? What type of need did you see in the

industry that led to their development?

PVA is in our most aggressive product

development campaign since I first started

designing our dispensing valves. We are

aggressively attacking application technology,

and the SJ100 and PC8150 are two great

examples. The S11 00 is the culmination of three

years of development to bring a true non~contact

jetting process to our core selective coating

business. The SJ1 00 produces deposits down to

50 nanoliters at up to 100 deposits per second.

The SJ100 meets increased demand from our

customers to coat smaller devices and work

around tighter keep out areas. There are other

jets on the market, sure, but they are often too

expensive for our customers to consider in all

but the most demanding projects. The SJ1 O0 is
