Impingement Heaters
A. Overview
1. Impingement Heaters are similar to Contact Heaters except that they blow hot air
up at the part rather than use a vacuum to hold the part in place.
2. The determining factor when choosing between Contact and Impingement heat is
the part carrier being used for the application.
B. Theory of Operation
1. Impingement Heater operation on the M-2000 Series dispensing systems is similar
to Contact Heater operation with the exception of the vacuums.
Temperature parameters are setup in Fluidmove.
Fluidmove sends the temperature information to the Interface PCA.
The Interface PCA sends the information to the Interconnect PCA.
The Interconnect PCA sends the information to the Heater Relay Module.
The Heater Relay Module activates the power to the heaters to turn them on.
Fluidmove also sends the temperature information directly to the Temperature
Controller Module.
The Temperature Controller Module monitors the heaters and reports the
information back to Fluidmove and also to the Heater Relay Module.
2. Operation of the heater blowers requires communication between Fluidmove, the
Conveyor Controller Module, the Interconnect PCA, the Interface PCA, and the
heater air valves.
Fluidmove sends an “Air On” message to the Conveyor Controller Module.
The Conveyor Controller Module sends the message to the Interconnect PCA.
The Interconnect PCA relays the message to the Interface PCA.
The Interface PCA sends the message back to the Interconnect PCA.
The Interconnect PCA activates the heater air valve.
