How the Radial Spinner System Operates

ValveMate Controller Concept

The ValveMate 7160RA radial 
system controller provides 
easy adjustment of valve 
output for maximum end-user 
convenience and efficiency. 
Valve open time is the primary 
control of deposit size. The 
7160RA puts push-button 
adjustment of valve open-time 
where it needs to be — at 
the valve and radial spinner 
assembly.

Upon initiation of the 7160RA radial 
system controller 

ò

, air pressure 

is released to the air motor 
assembly

 

ù

 to begin spinning 

the radial disc assembly

 

ä

Immediately following, a timed 
pulse of actuating air is released 
to the dispense valve 

ë

 to apply 

fluid onto the spinning disc. The 
spinning disc causes the radial 
output to sweep around to apply 
an even band of fluid to the inner 
circumference of the cylinder 

ö

.

When the timed actuating air from 
the 7160RA controller shuts off, the 
dispense valve closes, stopping 
fluid flow. An adjustable delay 
after the dispense cycle ensures 
that all fluid is dispersed after the 
valve closes, ensuring coating 
consistency from cycle to cycle. 
Refer to the ValveMate 7160RA 
controller operating manual 
for instructions on increasing / 
decreasing the delay feature.

The controller incorporates 
unique microprocessor circuitry 
to provide exact time control 
and interaction with the host 
computer.
An initial deposit size can be 
rapidly programmed by using 
the 7160RA TEACH mode. 
Refinements can be made by 
using the time setup controls.
