Test the capabilities and explore the functionality of the Disc Pump and solenoid valves using our Development Kit.
The Lee Company’s Piezoelectric Disc Pump Development Kit (Part Number: UEKA0500300A) enables the rapid evaluation of one or multiple pumps, together with solenoid valves, making it easy to test system-level prototypes and evaluate the unique features of this pump technology, including:
The advanced functionality of this new kit includes:
These features provide a versatile platform for developing a wide range of products for microfluidic and liquid handling systems for a range of industries including medical and industrial.
With the onboard pressure sensor (plus compatibility with a range of external sensors) and integrated valve drivers, the kit offers advanced fluidic control, including closed-loop pressure/vacuum regulation and air and liquid flow control.
One Lee Disc Pump can be mounted directly on the motherboard, and up to four Lee Smart Pump Modules can be connected to the motherboard with cables.
The kit can be controlled by the Disc Pump Control App and by the Motherboard. More advanced control is possible via the USB-to-serial interface. Our Python code snippet library provides examples of how to get started. The Development Kit also includes a screw terminal block, enabling control by other development platforms (e.g. Arduino) via an analog and digital I/O interface.
Note that Disc Pumps, solenoid valves and the mains power supply (Part Number: UACX0500950E) must be purchased separately, depending on your application needs. This enables you to select the exact model(s) that you wish to test. For assistance in selecting the right model for your application, please speak to a Lee Sales Engineer.
You’re interested in a development kit, what’s next? You can give us a call to discuss your application requirements and we’ll help you through the selection process. Here is a list of what to expect:
Step 1: Assessing your system requirements. Does your application require pumps and valves?
Step 2: Select which pump series and valve is appropriate (we can assist with this).
Step 3: If you’re driving valves or multiple SPMs, you’ll also need to purchase the mains power supply (Part Number: UACX0500950E).
The kit is compatible with many 12V LHD Series and LFN Series valves not requiring a spike and hold drive. It is also compatible with many spike and hold 12V VHS Series valves. Contact us for assistance in selecting compatible options outside of those shown in the table.
Submit a request and a Technical Sales Engineer will be in contact to discuss the next steps in getting you a Development Kit.
Always verify flow calculations by experiment.
