CYANOACRYLATE DISPENSING STATION IMPROVES PROCESS CONTROL, ELIMINATES REWORK & REJECTS

Aug. 29, 2006
By making it possible to dispense an identical amount of cyanoacrylate adhesive or "super glue" on every assembly, EFD’s Ultra® 2415 Workstation improves process control and product appearance, and eliminates costly rework and rejects. The Ultra 2415 Workstation prevents variations in the size of adhesive deposits and makes application foolproof by using a precisely timed air pulse instead of guesswork to determine how much material is dispensed. Its controlled, waste-free application makes it a highly accurate, cost-effective alternative to squeeze bottles, hand syringes and other manual applicators. For better control of thin fluids like cyanoacrylate, the 2415 Workstation features a 0-15psi pressure regulator instead of the standard 0-100psi configuration, and uses a microprocessor-based digital timer with four decimal places to provide exceptional control of shot size. Cyanoacrylate is dispensed from a syringe barrel that can either be held like a pen or mounted on an optional arm to leave the operator’s hands free to manipulate parts. To apply a uniform amount on each part, the user just places the dispense tip attached to the syringe in position and presses the electric foot pedal. Other features that improve process control and simplify operation include simultaneous digital display of all dispensing parameters (including air pressure, shot count, dispense time and vacuum), and a convenient "Teach" function that streamlines initial setup. For companies with facilities throughout the world, the 2415 Workstation can be programmed on-site in 9 languages, provides automatic voltage conversion, and includes power adapters for virtually every industrialized country. Each 2415 Workstation includes a complete introductory supply of syringe barrels, pistons and dispense tips matched to the user’s specific application, along with a 10-year, No Fault warranty.
