Note! On a two-channel control, the “scanner 1” connector must be used for the scanner installed for
channel 1. This scanner can also be used to control channel 2. If separate scanners to control channel
1 and channel 2 are desired , the “scanner 1” connector must be used for the scanner installed for
channel 1, and the “scanner 2” connector must be used for the scanner installed for channel 2.
3. Make connections as shown in Figure 6-9.
4. Tighten the cord grip used by the scanner cable(s).
Mechanical Installation of the Glue Valve
Note! Different systems use different valves, and the different valves may use various applicator heads. Glue
application systems may include either contact or non-contact valves.
Mechanical installation of the glue valve includes installation of the glue valve (with a specific Valco bracket
package) and the applicator assembly.
Non-Contact Valves
To install non-contact valves, follow these steps:
1. Install the nozzle onto the valve.
2. Purge all air from the glue line by activating the purge button attached to the valve of valve cable.
3. Run adhesive through the valve until there is no air present in the glue line.
Note! The valve should produce an even glue flow.
4. Ensure that there is a 0.040-0.185" (1-4.7 mm) maximum distance between the nozzle tip of the valve and
the product.
Note! The valve distance to product must be adusted to reduce glue trailing or nozzle buildup. This will
allow optimum glue patterns for each application.
Contact Valves
To install contact valves, follow these steps:
1. Install the applicator head onto the valve.
2. Purge all air from the glue line by activating the purge mechanism on the solenoid air valve.
3. Run adhesive through the valve until there is no air present in the glue line.
Note! The valve should produce an even glue flow.
4. Run the parent machine.
5. Stop the machine when a product is at the glue station.
