Recently, researchers at North Carolina State University invented a flexible mesh robot for 3D printing, which is also called a soft robot because of its soft shape. The structure of such a soft robot can be controlled by applying a magnetic field to float on the water. They can grab small objects on the water, so they have the potential to imitate creatures living on the water.
To create this structure, the researchers first created an "ink" that was made up of liquid silicone, which produced a "homogeneous complex thixotropic paste" similar to ordinary toothpaste, which is easy to apply. The tube is squeezed out, but the shape is kept on the toothbrush without dripping.
The researchers used a 3D printer to shape the paste into a mesh pattern. These patterns are then cured in an oven to form a flexible silicone structure that is ultimately controlled by the application of a magnetic field.
In a special issue on Advanced Materials Technology, they showed how they could design such soft structures and demonstrate how they can be used when floating on water and how to shrink and grab objects. It must be said that this research shows the combination of 3D printing technology and intelligent robot phase technology to open up the field of innovation.
Solenoid Armature makes an very important role in complete Solenoid Valve compared to other solenoid valve parts, so the quality of the armature directly related to the life of complete solenoid valve. Hereby, let me introduce how we control armature quality from character of raw material and how we produce during production.
We also called solenoid armature as solenoid valve armature, solenoid valve stem, solenoid valve core, solenoid Plunger Tube Assembly, solenoid armature tube assembly, Solenoid Armature Assembly, Electromagnetic Valve armature, etc, but all in all, the solenoid armature looks like an opener and closer even like a head in the solenoid valve.
The armature can be divided into four parts roughly, they are fixed core(who with or without shading ring depending on DC or AC voltage type), plunger tube and tube base(has option of stainless steel and brass), mobile plunger(installed with inner and outer spring, top and bottom seal).
The fixed core and movable plunger are made of high magnetic stainless iron, such as 430FR, has good performance of attraction and rust-proof. During production, we doing inspection after each procedure.
The plunger tube is made of H62 brass or seamless 304 stainless steel, the wall thickness from 0.20mm to 2.5mm available. All raw material is inspected before put them into our warehouse.
The plunger tube base is made of H59 brass or 304 stainless steel, with high performance, also we inspected each lot before put them in warehouse.
According to application requirement, choose suitable welding to connect each part, such as laser soldering, argon-arc welding, silver soldering.
The seal can be NBR, Viton, EPDM, Silicon, Teflon, etc. All can be customized as your requirement.
Except this,we also sale for Auto Drain Valve , Air Suspension Valve ,solenoid armature assembly, Forged Brass Valve .
Welcome your any inquiry, we can produce as per your requirements.
