WARNING!
Functions critical to safety!
You must test functions that protect you from harm in the case of emergency at
the intervals specified in the maintenance schedule.
 Under no circumstances extend the maintenance intervals for functions crit-
ical to safety, such as EMERGENCY STOP for example.

The maintenance intervals can be extended if no signs of wear and tear (damage
to seals or changes to the barrier fluid) are determined within the specified main-
tenance intervals.
Proceed as follows:
• If no signs of wear and tear are determined, extend the maintenance interval
by 20 % (or by 1 day if 20 % is less than 1 day).
• As soon as signs of wear and tear become visible, shorten the maintenance
interval by 20 %. Retain this maintenance interval as standard.

Safety instruction for metering head heaters


Safety instruction Note following safety instruction:

CAUTION!
In operation, the metering head heater becomes as hot as 80°C. The dis-
pensing material can thus also be hot
 Delay tasks on the metering head, until the metering head heater has cooled
down.
 If it is not possible to wait until the metering head heater has cooled down,
then take suitable measures to prevent injuries.

Introduction
Introduction If the dispenser is equipped with inlet valve monitoring sensors (inlet valve mon-
itoring), they must not be removed.

Safety information
Safety information Observe the following safety information:

NOTICE
Never remove the inlet valve monitoring sensors from the valve plate!
The inlet valve monitoring sensors will no longer be correctly calibrated if the po-
sition of the sensors in the valve plate is changed. For this reason, the sensors
are adhered in the valve plate. The inlet valve monitoring sensors must be reca-
librated if they work loose out of their position.
 Leave the inlet valve monitoring sensors in the valve plate when cleaning the
pneumatics unit.
 Do not clean the valve plate in a solvent bath. Use a cloth to carefully clean
the valve plates
 In the event of a defect, never simply replace the inlet valve monitoring sen-
sors by the same sensors! Always replace the complete valve plate. Please
contact us for further details!

8.3 Changing variseal rings

Introduction The Variseal rings are the seals on the mass pistons and in the flushing fluid res-
ervoir.

Flushing fluid used: • Flushing fluid level in reservoir rises


(visible at sight glass).

No flushing fluid used: • Dispensing material visible at sight


glass.
• Mass pistons stationary/piston rods sta-
tionary
DISPENSER - CONSTRUCTION PLUNGER / MASS PISTONS

Other criteria
Other criteria The following additional causes must be ruled out before replacing the seals:

Other criteria

Cause Procedure/corrective measures

2-component dispensing ma- Renew mixing tube


terial:
Content of mixing tube hard-
ened

Outlet openings partially Check outlet. Completely remove hardened


clogged material from outlet openings. If this is not
possible, use new outlet!

Air in lines Observe dispensing procedure. Air bubbles


in the lines cause irregular outlet of dispens-
ing material from the mixing tube.
Corrective measure: Bleed lines.

Weight check
Weight check Leaks at the seals can be a cause of insufficient dispensed material. Therefore
perform a weight check on systems equipped with this facility.

8.3.2 Position of sealing rings

8.3.3 Seal maintenance intervals

Introduction The maintenance intervals for the seals depend on several factors.
For example:
• Cycle time and
• Dispensing material

Maintenance inter- The seals must be replaced before they are damaged.
val

NOTICE
 Record the time at which the seals were last changed.
 If the seals suffer damage before the scheduled maintenance, the mainte-
nance interval should be shortened.

Metering unit
53 / 143
Disassemble of pneumatic unit

Why are the maintenance intervals not specified? No recommendation can be


made here as the maintenance intervals largely depend on the cycle time and
type of dispensing material.
You yourself should determine the intervals at which the seals need to be
changed.

Example of maintenance intervals


Example of mainte- Seals are damaged after 10 weeks. Shorten maintenance interval. In future
nance intervals change the seals after 8 weeks. (10 weeks - 20 % = 8 weeks)
Shorten the determined maintenance interval by 20 % if the seals are already
damaged before the scheduled maintenance interval.

DISPENSER - CONSTRUCTION PLUNGER / MASS PISTONS


Completely dismantle and clean the metering head to change the Variseals. If the
metering head is only partially dismantled, dispensing material (resin and hard-
ener) could come in contact with other parts of the dispenser, thus leading to
damage in the long term.
