9 Introduction 0 3 General Instructions Regarding Working with Application Materials Definition of Terms Application materials can be e.g. thermoplastic hot melt materials, adhesives, sealants, liquid adhesives and similar application materials. They are referred to as materials. NOTE: The materials that may be processed with your Nordson product are described in the manual under Intended Use and Unintended Use. When in doubt, please contact your Nordson representative. Manufacturer Information Materials may be processed only when the manufacturer's product descriptions and Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) are observed. They provide information, amongst other things, on correct processing of the product, transport, storage and disposal. Information regarding reactivity and potentially hazardous decomposition products, toxic properties, flash points, etc. can also be found there. Liability Nordson is not be liable for danger or damage resulting from the materials. Risk of Burns There is a risk of burns when handling heated materials. Work carefully and wear appropriate protective clothing/equipment. HMI02_EN_C-0108

10 0 4 Introduction Vapors and Gases Ensure that vapors and gases do not exceed the prescribed limits. If necessary, exhaust vapors and gases and/or provide sufficient ventilation of the work space. Substrate The substrate should be free of dust, grease and moisture. The suitable material, optimum working conditions, and possible pre treatment of the substrate must be determined by testing. Processing Temperature When materials require heating, adherence to the prescribed processing temperature is imperative to ensure the quality of the application. It may not be exceeded! Overheating can cause material coking or cracking, resulting in malfunctioning or unit failure. Material should always be melted gently. Extended, unnecessary temperature load should be avoided. The temperature should be reduced during breaks in work. The temperature in the tank should be attuned to the material consumption. Thus it is close to the prescribed processing temperature for high material consumption and lower for lower consumption. When materials are processed cold, take into consideration the shear heat and the ambient temperature; cool if necessary. HMI02_EN_C-0108

25 Introduction 2 5 Description of Components / Functioning (contd.) Material Flow Rotating Bar A melter pumps the material through a heated hose to the applicator. In the applicator the material flows through the filter cartridges and the material channels to the nozzle. Control modules open and close the material supply to the nozzle. The nozzle applies the material to the substrate in a contact coating process. Either an exchangeable nozzle with rotating bar or a surface nozzle without rotating bar can be used. The rotating bar (4, Fig. 2 1) evenly distributes the material coming out of the nozzle slot on the substrate. The rotating bar motor (5, Fig. 2 1) is not part of the applicator; it is an accessory. Motor-driven Application Width Adjustment There are two sliding plates in the nozzle. The two corresponding motors(1, Fig. 2 1) turn the spindles of the two pistons with the sliding plates. The sliding plates are guided into the nozzle application slot. Material escapes only between the sliding plates. Slide assembly (piston with sliding plate) Fig. 2 3 The two sides can be set continuously and independently of one another. NOTE: Move the two slides together for longer breaks in production. Perform a cleaning stroke across the entire adjustment width before beginning production again.

26 2 6 Introduction Control Modules The control modules open and close the material supply to the nozzle by raising or lowering the nozzle stem. A compression spring ensures that the control module outlet is closed when control air pressure drops, preventing material from being applied. Heating The applicator is heated with electrical heater cartridges. The temperature is continuously measured by temperature sensors and is controlled with electronic temperature controllers. Temperature controllers are not part of the applicator. Nozzle Filter The applicator is equipped with multiple nozzle filters (4, Fig. 2 2). There is a filter cartridge in each nozzle filter. The material flows from the inside of the filter cartridge to the outside. Thus dirt particles remain in the filter cartridge. Clean the filter cartridges regularly. Refer to page 5 8. Air Relief Valves Bleed the applicator before initial startup and every time the material is changed. Refer to page 5 5,Purging with Cleaning Agent.

27 Introduction 2 7 Accessories Operating Unit The operating unit contains an industrial PC (IPC) to control the applicator. The applicator is essentially operated via the control panel (1) on the operating unit. The control panel is a touch screen. Fig Terminal Box or Electrical Cabinet A terminal box or an electrical cabinet provides the voltage supply to the applicator motors and solenoid valves, and serves as the connection to the operating unit. Also refer to the wiring diagram. Enable Solenoid Valves The controller must supply the signal Enable solenoid valves as soon as production starts. Enable Motors Interface The melter supplies the signal Enable motors when all of the applicator heating zones have reached their setpoint temperatures. The piston can be adjusted only when the signal is received by the terminal box or electrical cabinet (contact closed). This prevents damage to seals from adhesive that is still too cold. Optional Field Bus Interface The field bus interface is used to exchange data between the applicator and the customer's control system. Refer to separate manual Field Bus on Nordson Applicators. Enable solenoid valves: In addition to the signal from the controller, bit 2 of Control also has to be set on the field bus. Enable motors: In addition to the signal from the melter, bit 1 of Control also has to be set on the field bus.

29 Installation 3 1 Section 3 Installation ATTENTION: Allow only qualified personnel to perform the following tasks. Observe and follow the safety instructions in this document and all other related documentation. Unpacking Unpack carefully. Then check for damage caused during transport. Reuse packaging materials or dispose of properly according to local regulations. Transport The applicator is a high precision, valuable part. Handle very carefully! Protect the nozzle from damage, e.g. with the original packaging. Lift the applicator by the eye-bolts (3, Fig. 2 1). Use suitable and inspected lifting equipment. Refer to consignment note for weight. Storage Do not store outside! Protect from humidity and dust. Do not lay unit on the nozzle. Protect the nozzle from damage, e.g. by placing it in the original packaging. Disposal When your Nordson product has exhausted its purpose and/or is no longer needed, dispose of it properly according to local regulations.

30 3 2 Installation Installing Observe the following when installing the applicator: Protect from humidity, vibrations, dust and drafts. Ensure access to parts relevant for maintenance and operation. To achieve optimum material application, install the applicator in the parent machine such that the distance and, when appropriate, the angle between the nozzle and the substrate can be varied. Cables, air hoses and heated hoses may not be bent, pinched or torn off. Ensure sufficient clearance for Electrical connections Heated hoses Changing filter cartridges Swiveling out motors Extracting the rotating bar The applicator bracket must allow for heat expansion. Refer to Heat Transfer and Heat Expansion. Heat Transfer and Heat Expansion Use the fastening bolts (1, Fig. 3 1) to attach the applicator to its adjusting device. The bolts ensure less heat transfer between the applicator and the adjusting device. If the applicator is secured differently, find a different way to ensure heat insulation between the applicator and the bracket. At 200 C, heat expansion of the applicator is approx. 3.5 mm. So three of the four fastening bolts should be fastened such as to be mobile in the direction of applicator operation. 1 fixed mobile mobile mobile Fig. 3 1

31 Installation 3 3 Exhausting Material Vapors Ensure that material vapors do not exceed the prescribed limits. Exhaust material fumes when necessary. Provide sufficient ventilation of the location where the unit is installed. ATTENTION: It is imperative that the following additional safety regulations are followed when processing polyurethane hot melt adhesives (PUR) (Refer to General Hot Melt Material Processing Instructions). Definition of Operator Side On the control panel, the motors for application width adjustment are called motor 1 and motor 2. Motor 2 is the one located on the same side as the rotating bar motor. Electrical Connections ATTENTION: Risk of electrical shock. Failure to observe may result in personal injury, death, or equipment damage. Laying Cable ATTENTION: Do not pinch cables and check regularly for damage. Replace damaged cables immediately! CAN Bus: Securing Plug Connections Tighten the hexagonal head (1) with torque of 0.6 Nm. Nordson recommends using a torque wrench made by Murr Elektronik, Murr article number Nm (5.3 lbin) Fig. 3 2

32 3 4 Installation Connecting Solenoid Valves 1 The solenoid valves on the control modules are controlled either by an external power supply, e.g. control unit, or through the valve control lines of the heated hose. Secure the plug connection with the screw (1, Fig. 3 3). Fig. 3 3 Connecting Heater Insert the voltage plug into the corresponding receptacle on the melter or terminal box. If the heater lines are integrated into the material hose, the corresponding receptacle is located directly on the material hose. Secure the voltage plug with the clamp if necessary.

33 Installation 3 5 Connecting Applicator, Terminal Box or Electrical Cabinet to Operating Unit The motors are labeled 1 and 2 on the applicator: CAUTION: Do not mix up the CAN bus cable and the voltage supply cable. Plugging the voltage supply into the CAN bus receptacle would destroy the motor.

34 3 6 Installation Pneumatic Connections Nordson recommends using dry, controlled and nonlubricated compressed air. Operation with Nonlubricated Compressed Air When an applicator is connected to a compressed air system in which the compressed air has previously been lubricated, simply ceasing to lubricate the air is not sufficient. The oil remaining in the compressed air supply will reach the solenoid valves and the control modules and wash out the original lubricant/oil from these parts, substantially decreasing the service life of the units. NOTE: It must be ensured that the compressed air supply to the applicators has been converted to absolutely nonlubricated operation. NOTE: No oil from a possibly defective compressor may be permitted to penetrate the compressed air supply. NOTE: Nordson will assume no warranty or liability for damage caused by unpermitted, temporary lubrication.

38 4 2 Operation Setting Material Pressure The material pressure is generated by the melter pumps. The maximum material pressure may not be exceeded: 60 bar 6 MPa 870 psi Positioning Applicator Fig Applicator 2 Nozzle 3 Coating roll 4 Substrate 5 Contact line Nozzle/substrate The optimum angle of incidence of the applicator depends on various customer-specific parameters. It is within the range of - 5 to 0. The contact line (5 ) should be at the line at which the substrate (4 ) runs onto the roll (3 ). The nozzle always has contact to the substrate (Refer to Fig. 4 7). Ensure that contact is only on the dark gray segment of the coating roll (Fig. 4 7, right); otherwise the applied material could drip.

39 Operation 4 3 Calculating Material Quantity Sample Calculation Nordson recommends following the sample calculation before starting up the applicator and making a note of the application-specific values for application weight and width, substrate speed and pump output capacity in the table Customer-specific Values. These values can be used to calculate the pump speed and material quantity. Nordson also recommends entering results of the calculations in the table. This ensures that all values can be reproduced at any time. NOTE: The material quantity for intermittent application is calculated the same as for continuous material application. Application weight (grammage) m = 20 g/m 2 Application width of each material track b = 10 mm = 0.01 m Substrate speed v = 500 m/min Material quantity M = m b v = 20 g/m m 500 m/min = g/min Output capacity of pump D = 2.4 g/revolution Pump speed n = M D = g/min 2.4 g/revolution 42 rev/min Customer-specific Values Application weight (grammage) m Application width b Substrate speed v Material quantity M = m b v Output capacity of pump D Pump speed n = M D

Slide/motor1: X plus [ACTUAL:2] minus X Motor1 = Slide/motor2: X plus [ACTUAL:2] minus X Motor2 = Enter the calculated values for each slide in the control panel screen: Save input with. What Does the Software Do With the Values? As a result of the first position calibration, the actual value [ACTUAL:2] became the reference point for further internal calculations. The theoretical value is now the actual value. However, the actual spindle pitch can deviate from the theoretical pitch saved in the software, either because of heat expansion or manufacturing tolerances. The second position calibration is needed to store the actual pitch in the software. And since there are two spindles, this process must be performed for each spindle. To open from the actual mm to the (theoretical) 600 mm, the software calculates revolutions with a theoretical pitch of 1.2 mm. However, because of the spindle tolerances, with this number of revolutions there are actually for motor 1 and for motor 2 instead of the 600 revolutions. These values were calculated in step 11.. For motor 1, the actual spindle pitch is then ( ): revolutions = mm For motor 2, the actual spindle pitch is then ( ): revolutions = mm After step 13., these values are applied for all further internal calculations.

Observe and follow the safety instructions in this document and all other related documentation. Replacing Motor NOTE: The motor does not have to be swiveled out. 1. Detach the cable and terminating resistor (if present) from the connections on the motor. 2. Extract the screw (1). 3. Pull the motor forwards and out (arrow). 1 AG Battery O ring AG03/1 Abb. 7 1

86 7 2 Repair Observe when Assembling CAUTION: Do not mix up the CAN bus cable and the voltage supply cable. Plugging the voltage supply into the CAN bus receptacle would destroy the motor. DIP switch M 1 M 2 ON ON Set the DIP switch Tighten screw (1) CAUTION: After assembly, proceed with Calibrating Slide Positions. Otherwise the application section will not correspond to the set values.

87 Repair 7 3 Calibrating Slide Positions The slide positions must be calibrated anew when one of the following situations occurs: a. The spindle and the motor shaft have been separated b. A motor has been replaced c. After a software update. In the event that b. or c. applies, the control panel screen for calibration opens automatically. Calibration sets a reference point for each slide that the software uses to calculate the slide positions. CAUTION: When calibrating, never adjust the application width using setpoint input; use only the arrow keys. Centering Application Pattern ATTENTION: Hot! Risk of burns. Wear heat protective gloves. 1. Heat the applicator. 2. Have a steel rule on hand that covers dimension X as well as the application width. Nozzle length X SETPOINT: Application width X ACTUAL: Application width + deviation 3. Insert two sensor gauges or rectangular plates (slot size or thinner) all the way into the application slot. Ensure that they are at a right angle.

88 7 4 Repair 4. Open the calibration screen: 5. Use the and keys to adjust both slides such that the dimension X, measured from the edge of the nozzle, is the same on both sides. ACTUAL: 2 ACTUAL: 2 6. Measure the actual distance (ACTUAL value = application width) between the slides. The ACTUAL value will deviate from the desired application width depending on the manufacturing tolerance and heat expansion. 7. Divide the ACTUAL value by 2 and enter the result for each slide in the control panel screen. 8. Save the input with, or cancel with. NOTE: If no values have been saved (e.g. after a motor is replaced), the process cannot be canceled. 9. If any imprecisions are determined in the application width display, continue with Adjusting Application Width Display / Second Position Calibration for Each Slide Individually.

89 Repair 7 5 Example: Calibrating Slide Position of a TC-FS-1400 For nozzle length refer to drawing. Here: 1500 mm X: 400 SETPOINT: 700 mm X: 400 ACTUAL: mm 1. Use the arrow keys to adjust both slides such that on both sides the dimension X, measured from the edge, is 400 mm Measure the actual distance (application width) between the slides. Depending on the manufacturing tolerance and heat expansion, the value will differ from the desired value of 700 mm, e.g mm. 3. Divide by 2 and enter this value in the control panel screen. Here: mm for each slide Save input.
