Stroke adjuster setting.
More valve opening = more product flow
Less valve opening = less product flow
Generally speaking the stroke adjuster setting is the least useful of the above (4) variables. This is because
it has no numerical set point. Pressure, time and needle size all have numerical values that can be recorded
and repeated.
Because of the large number of products only general guidelines will be given for dispensing. Higher
viscosity products will require higher pressures, longer times and larger needle I.D. The reverse is true for
lower viscosity products.
6 Maintenance and Cleaning
6.1 Cleaning
The product dispensing section of the Loctite
Flushing Solvent supplied from a suitable reservoir. Adjust the reservoir pressure to a low value to reduce
the flow rate.
6.2 Maintenance
There are two main components, the air cylinder and the Vari-Drop™ applicator that can be replaced
6.2.1 Procedure for Replacing Vari-Drop and Air Cylinder
Caution!
•
Before starting the replacement procedure make sure that the product reservoir pressure is (0)
psig.
•
Detach the Loctite
•
Drain any product from the Loctite
to a level higher than the product reservoir. Actuate the Loctite
move the product down into the product reservoir.
•
Shut off the control air pressure to the Loctite
•
Disconnect the control air line from the fitting on the air cylinder.
•
Disconnect the product supply tube from the Loctite
•
Secure the tubes in a safe manner so there is no siphoning from the product supply tube and
no whipping from the control air tube if the air is accidentally turned on.
