Abstract

A device for dispensing fluid material onto a substrate including a base body with a flow channel for receiving the fluid material and a movable valve body positioned in the flow channel. The valve body is movable in a downstream direction into an open position to release a flow of the fluid material into the flow channel and is movable in an upstream direction into a closed position to interrupt the flow of the fluid material into the flow channel. A drive device moves the valve body between the open position and the closed position. A cylindrical chamber is positioned in the flow channel and the valve body includes a piston movable within the cylindrical chamber. The piston is sealed within the cylindrical chamber in such a way that when the piston moves in a first direction within the cylindrical chamber, the fluid material is displaced from the flow channel and when the piston is moved in a second direction opposite to the first direction, the fluid material is drawn into the flow channel.
