      Jesse RobertsonAug 19, 2025
      If the glue valve on your Valco Cincinnati Controller isn't dispensing glue, there are several things to check: * Verify the delay and pattern settings, ensuring a delay of at least “00.01” inches or “0001” millimeters is entered. * Make sure the channel toggle switch on the front panel is enabled (“1”). * Confirm the line speed is above the minimum speed setting. * Inspect for a clogged glue valve. * Check the glue valve's cable for any damage. * Examine the “F1”, “F2”, and “F3” fuses on the valve driver board. * Consider replacing the valve driver board.
