Part 237478_03
E 2012 Nordson Corporation
Performance
A light‐touch trigger activates a micro‐switch in the gun handle, providing
instant adhesive flow. The ball and seat design assures clean cut‐off at the
nozzle. The gun is equipped with resistance temperature detectors (RTDs).
When used with RTD‐controlled Nordson systems, FP‐200 guns permit gun
temperature control within one 1_F (0.5_C).
Reduced Maintenance Costs
The guns are equipped with quick disconnecting electrical plugs. Gun
modules are interchangeable for ease of cleaning and maintenance. A
module can be replaced in minutes by simply removing two cap screws and
two o‐rings. The air‐open, spring‐close design includes long‐life seals and
provides superior cutoff, greater pattern uniformity and the ability to handle a
wide range of hot melt materials.
Design Flexibility
A wide selection of modules and nozzles is available for spiral spray and
bead extrusion to meet numerous deposition requirements. Patented
Controlled Fiberizationt gun modules permit exceptional control of spiral
pattern density without overspray. For bead extrusion flexibility, modules are
available in standard and reduced cavity designs with a choice of nozzle and
orifice diameters. Reduced cavity modules help provide clog‐free operation
with a self‐cleaning needle and nozzle assembly.
For operating ease, the FP‐200 guns incorporate an adjustable trigger
handle. An auxiliary guide handle permits two‐handed use for further control.
The handle can be positioned for either left‐ or right‐handed use. The
compact body design optimizes pattern visibility and lets the operator
maneuver the gun into otherwise difficult to reach areas.
FP‐200 guns can easily be converted from swirl to extrusion or extrusion to
swirl using a conversion kit. Refer to Section 8, Parts, for conversion kit part
numbers.
An air supply line is connected to FP‐200 guns through an air pressure
regulator, thus eliminating the need for an air control kit. FP‐200 guns that
currently use an air control kit may be easily replaced. Refer to Replacing
Air‐Control‐Kit FP‐200 Guns in Section 3, Installation.
Approvals
FP‐200 guns are designed to meet Underwriter's Laboratory (UL), Canadian
(C‐UL), and Conformité Européenne (CE) standards.
