Product Description:
Introducing the Smart-Dose WD-40 Lubricant Valve, a revolutionary advancement in application technology designed for tasks requiring repeatable, measured amounts of product. This intelligent valve features a unique metering chamber that allows the user to pre-set a specific volume of lubricant, penetrant, or cleaner to be released with each actuation. A simple dial on the side of the valve lets you select from small, medium, or large doses, ensuring consistent application across multiple points or production batches. This eliminates the guesswork and variability of traditional spraying, which often leads to over-use, wasteful overspray, or insufficient coverage.
The Smart-Dose valve is perfect for assembly line production, quality control processes, and preventative maintenance schedules where consistency is paramount. Whether you are applying a precise amount of anti-seize to a specific bolt thread on an engine block, dispensing the exact volume of contact cleaner onto a circuit board, or ensuring every hinge on a product line receives the same lubricant dose, this valve delivers unparalleled repeatability. By providing absolute control over output, it not only reduces product consumption and cost but also guarantees a higher, more reliable standard of workmanship. It transforms the simple act of spraying into a precise, engineered process.
Bullet Points:
-
Features a built-in, adjustable metering chamber for precise control over lubricant volume.
-
Three pre-set dose settings (S/M/L) ensure consistent and repeatable application.
-
Drastically reduces product waste and over-application in industrial and workshop settings.
-
Ideal for assembly line tasks, quality assurance, and standardized maintenance procedures.
-
The clear dosage window allows for visual confirmation of the selected setting.
Specific Application Scenario:
On an electronics assembly line, workers must apply a specific, small dose of a specialist lubricant to the micro-gears of a camera's optical zoom mechanism. Using the Smart-Dose valve set to the "small" setting, every worker applies the exact same amount of product, guaranteeing uniform performance and longevity for every single unit, completely eliminating the risk of under or over-lubrication.
Packing and Transportation:
The Smart-Dose valve is packaged in a high-quality, transparent plastic clamshell that showcases its unique dial feature. The clamshells are shipped in secure, compartmentalized boxes to prevent damage during transit to industrial suppliers and professional tool retailers.
FAQ:
-
How accurate is the metered output of the valve?
The valve is calibrated to deliver a highly consistent volume for each of its three settings, with a variance of less than 5% between actuations, ensuring reliable and repeatable results.
-
Can the dose settings be customized for a specific application?
The standard S/M/L settings cover a wide range of needs. For highly specialized, high-volume applications, custom calibration may be available for bulk orders.
-
Is the valve mechanism more complicated to use than a standard valve?
Not at all. It operates with the same simple press-down action. The only added step is the initial selection of your desired dose setting using the intuitive dial.
-
How does the metered output benefit an assembly line production process?
It standardizes the task, removes operator variability, ensures every product receives identical treatment, and simplifies quality control, leading to a higher and more consistent final product quality.
-
Can the metering chamber be cleaned if I switch between different product types?
Yes, the chamber is designed to be purged. We recommend spraying several doses of the new product through the valve to fully clear the previous formula from the mechanism and prevent cross-contamination.
