Equipment Familiarization 2-1 Section 2 Equipment Familiarization introduction The Nordson@ E-750 Electric Applicator is an electrically activated dispenser for thermoplastic adhesives. The E-750 is sold with an electric driver which translates the timer signal into a wave form which optimizes applicator performance. The applicator is carefully designed to accurately control temperature at the nozzle. E-750 Electric Applicator The applicator is machined from a solid aluminum block drilled to house a 24 VDC coil, an armature/sleeve assembly, a 200 watt cartridge heater and an RTD temperature sensor. The SAE inlet port accepts standard straight, 45 and 90 hose fittings. Use of an inline filter with the E-750 is recommended. The cordset has the standard Nordson 2300 Series connector. The link-up of the driver uses a two pin, quick-disconnect connector. A ten-foot applicator-to-driver interconnect cable is provided with each unit. Features: Single piece flow-through module No dynamic seals RTD temperature control Rugged single block body construction Replaceable heater cartridge Long-life 24 VDC coil Standard SAE hose connector (45, 90 options available) Quick connect on gun control and timer leads Standard H-20 nozzle configurations Electric Driver The Nordson Driver is a solid-state electronic device which enhances the performance of the E-750 to produce extremely fast valve action. The response time increases the opening and closing speed of the adhesive valve. This translates into sharper cut-off and increased accuracy of pattern placement The driver can open a single electric valve in 2 to 3 milliseconds, hold it open for as few as 1 to 2 milliseconds and allow it to close in 2 to 3 milliseconds. It can fire one head or valve module continuously every 10 milliseconds. Publication No. 104 8348 ONordson Co ration 1994 All Rights rgo eserved Issued 1 O/94

Equipment Familiarization 2-3 This control gives the E-750 the consistency, accuracy, and long life you would expect in a Nordson system. Features: Improves speed of automatic applicator valves Valves open in 2-3 ms, close in 2-3 ms Continuous operation of a single valve at 10 ms cycles (a cycle is the time in which the driver fires on and off) High precision pattern control with accurate and repeatable placement Pattern registration accuracy of + 0.05 ms (k 0.05 inch at 500 fpm) Supports two independent head groups, each controlled by an optically isolated input Built-in RUN/OFF/TEST Built-in power supply switch for each head group One unit serves 100 VAC to 240 VAC systems Functional Description During operation, molten hot melt material is supplied to the E-750 applicator by the pump in the melter unit. The material enters the inlet port located on the top of the applicator and is directed through the armature/sleeve assembly to the ball and seat. When the coil is energized, the armature lifts off of the seat. The hydraulically pressurized material is extruded from the nozzle while the ball is held off its seat by magnetic attraction. When the timer de-energizes the driver, the coil loses its magnetic attraction and the armature return spring forces the ball against its seat, stopping the flow of material.

Ins talla tion 3-I Section 3 Installation ln troduc tion This section gives detailed information necessary for the proper installation of the E-750 applicator, the driver, and the adhesive supply hose. Unpacking No special instructions are necessary to unpack the guns and hoses. Normal care should be exercised not to damage the equipment during unpacking. Inspection After unpacking the applicator and hoses, perform the following inspections: 1. Inspect applicator and hose surfaces for evidence of dents, scratches, corrosion, and other physical damage. 2. Inspect service block for loose electrical connections and contaminants. 3. Inspect hose for frayed connections, rips in the outer braid, and evidence of kinks. 4. Inspect all fasteners for tightness. Ins talla tion Installing the Applicator The E-750 applicator may be mounted to extrude material in any direction necessary for the application. It may be mounted directly on the parent machine using the two M6 tapped holes located on the top of the body. It may also be used with the mounting block secured to the body. An insulator, located between the mounting block and body, and Teflon@ sleeves, located inside the mounting block holes, thermally insulate the applicator from the mounting bars. 1. Position the applicator as close to the substrate as the application will allow. Accuracy in placement and reduced tailing will result. 2. Secure the body to the parent machine using the two holes located on top of the body. If using the mounting block, mount the applicator on a 0.5 in. (13mm) diameter bar and tighten the mounting screws. The mounting bar should be secured so that there will be no movement.the applicator should be protected from vibration and secured so that it will not change position during application. Publication No. 104 8346 ONordson Co ration 1994 All Rights 77 esewed Issued 1 O/94

3-2 Ins talla tion NOTE: When mounting the applicator directly to the parent machine, the insulator must be placed between the applicator body and the parent machine. Installing the Hose The hose may be connected to the applicator either horizontally or vertically. 1. If connecting the hose vertically, simply connect the hose to the male hose connection on the top of the applicator. When connecting the hose horizontally, the straight connection fitting must be replaced with a 45 or 90 elbow by the following procedure: a. Remove the straight fitting from the top of the applicator. NOTE: Do not use extra fittings or nipples to connect the applicator to the hose. A cold connection may result. b. Lubricate the elbow fitting threads and o-ring with a small amount of Teflon@ paste (P/N 900 236) making sure first that the o-ring and threads are free of dirt and other foreign particles. c. Thread the fitting by hand into the threaded port in the applicator. 2. Tighten the fitting only enough to seat. It should seat when the body of the metal fitting contacts the applicator body surface. Between 7 and 10 ft-lbs of torque is required to create an effective seal. NOTE: Nordson Corporation recommends insulation on the fittings that connect the hose to the applicator. The installation kit, P/N 110 653, has a cuff (P/N 273 635) included in the kit. NOTE: Hot melt hoses should not be placed inside of any closed cover where heat cannot be dissipated from them. Doing so may cause the hose to fail. NOTE: Hot melt hoses should not be secured or supported so that the hose has a large area of surface in contact with a cold floor, cold steel, angle iron, or other cold material. Doing so may result in poor hose performance. 3. Connect the hose electrically to the applicator by connecting the plug on the applicator to the receptacle on the hose. See Figure 3.1. 4. Connect the hose mechanically to the melter unit according to the instructions provided with the melter unit. n i WARNING: This equipment contains energized electrical components that could be fatal. DO NOT connect the hose electrically to the applicator at this time. Connect input power at the appropriate point in the Initial Start Up procedure in the applicator service manual.

Ins talla tion 3-3 Installing the Driver Mount the driver in a location where it will not be subject to excessive vibration or moisture. It should be close to the pattern controller and applicators. A mounting kit is shipped with each driver. This kit includes all screws (l/4-20), nuts, and washers necessary to mount the driver. Mounting hole locations are shown in figure 3.1. Conduit holes have been provided to simplify hook-up of power, timer input signal and output to the applicator solenoid wires. The driver enclosure must be connected to an earth ground for safe operation. Also, the driver must be connected to a switched circuit which is fuse-protected. When not in use this device should be turned off. A hardwire diagram is provided with the driver to ensure proper electrical hook-up. 10.0 I / (254) 1 NOTE: DIMENSIONS IN 1NCHES (MILLIMETERS IN PARENTHESES) Figure 3.1.

Publication No. 104 8348 ONordson Co ration 1994 All RightsrfPeserved Issued 1 O/94

5-2 Maintenance Week/y Maintenance Nozzle Cleaning Clean all nozzles weekly unless operational history indicates that more or less frequent cleaning is required. Nozzle clogging occurs when a filter screen is damaged or when there is charred material in the hose or applicator. Charring can occur when an adhesive is heated above the application temperature recommended by the adhesive manufacturer. If charring does occur, it may be necessary to replace the hose or the gun, or both. A I WARNING: Wear safety glasses, safety gloves (P/N 902 0 514), and protective clothing to prevent injury from hot applicator parts, splashed hot melt adhesive material, and hot gun surfaces. CAUTION: DO NOT heat Type R solvent above 475 F (246 C). See Technical Data, Section 9, for further details. DO NOT heat Type R solven with an open flame or in an unregulated heating device (for example, a small pan on an unregulated hot plate). Afire hazard exists if an open flame or unregulated hot plate is used to heat Type R solvent. A controlled heating device (such as a small deep fat fryer or thermostatically controlled hot plate) must be used to heat the solvent above the melting temperature of the hot melt material. 1. Heat the applicator to operating temperature. 2. Relieve system hydraulic pressure in accordance with the applicator service manual. WARNING: Relieve system pressure before breaking any mechanical connections (for example, the applicator-to-hose connection or the filter-to-manifold connection) in the following manner: a. Reduce the pump air pressure to zero at the regulator. b. Trigger all guns to relieve trapped hydraulic pressure. c. Open the manifold drain valve. 3. Open manifold drain. 4. Remove the nozzle. 5. Place the nozzle in a container of Type R solvent and heat the solvent to the melting temperature of the adhesive material.

Optional Parts and Equipment IO-I Section 10 Optional Parts And Equipment Introduction Section 10 includes those parts, kits, and equipment that are available for use with the E-750 Electric Applicator. In addition to the standard pages already included in this section, instruction sheets for any kits or equipment ordered later should be inserted here. Hot Melt Nozzle Cleaning Kit Nozzle Cleaning The cleaning kit consists of a pin vise and three vials of nozzle probes in a wood case. All items listed in the parts list may be ordered separately. DO NOT attempt to clean a nozzle by heating it with a torch or other open flame device. The intense heat created by an open flame device may result in the following: Fire Charring the hot melt in the nozzle thus complicating the cleaning procedure Loosening the nozzle orifice causing it to blow out under system pressure Follow the nozzle cleaning procedure described below. To select the correct probe for cleaning a nozzle, first determine the nozzle orifice diameter. Select the largest diameter probe that is still smaller than the nozzle orifice diameter. When cleaning hot melt nozzles, place the nozzles in a container of Nordson Type R Cleaning Solvent. Using a controlled heating device (e.g., a small deep fat fryer or thermostatically controlled hot plate), heat the solvent above the melt temperature of the hot melt. n 80 WARNING: Use safety glasses, safety gloves (P/N 902 514), and other protective clothing to prevent injury from splashed hot material. n 8 WARNING: The flash point of Type R Solvent is 572 F (300X) to avoid fire. DO NOT heat this material above 475 F (245-C). DO NOT heat Type R Solvent with an open flame or in an uncontrolled heating device (for example, a small pan on an unregulated hot plate). Failure to follow this instruction may result in personal injury and/or property damage. See Section 9 Technical Data for further information on Type R Cleaning Solvent. Remove the nozzle from the cleaning solvent and insert the probe through the nozzle orifice opposite the direction of hot melt flow.
