Applicator Installation
Follow these procedures to install the applicator. Applicator installation
includes installing solenoid valves (if applicable) and mounting the applicator.
Mount the Applicator
Mounting the applicator includes selecting an appropriate mounting location
and installing any necessary mounting hardware on the production line.
1. Select a mounting location. Use the following guidelines:
S Make sure there will be enough clearance to
‐ remove the filter from the adhesive manifold
‐ drain adhesive from the drain valve
‐ replace heaters, sensors, or thermostats
‐ replace a solenoid valve, module, or nozzle
‐ route and replace air tubing and hoses
NOTE: Refer to the applicator reference drawing in
Applicator‐Specific Reference Drawings in Section 8, Parts, for the
applicator dimensions.
S Choose a location that will not subject the applicator to extreme
temperature variations or equipment vibration. The ambient
temperature should be 0–49 _C (32–120 _F).
S Choose a location that will allow you to properly route the hoses from
the applicator to the melter. Figure 3‐2 provides hose routing
guidelines.
S Choose a location close to a supply of dry, regulated, unlubricated air.
2. Move the applicator into position on the production line (use an
appropriate lifting device if needed) and secure the applicator at the
mounting location using the mounting rods. Adjust the applicator height
and angle as appropriate.
NOTE: The applicator should be perpendicular to the surface onto which
the adhesive is to be applied.
