PrecisionFlo Module Overview
What This Manual Includes
This manual provides detailed information on the Pre-
cisionFlo control assembly and operation of the Preci-
sionFlo module only. Specific information on metering
valves or material conditioning systems, for example,
is contained in other instruction forms supplied with
each component, as part of the PrecisionFlo system.
PrecisionFlo Module Description
The PrecisionFlo module is a precision fluid dispensing
mechanism designed to apply a variety of industrial
sealants and adhesives as part of a robot-equipped
production line or workcell. It is especially well-suited
to applications requiring fast response times, and pre-
cise flow control.
The PrecisionFlo module is comprised of (Fig. 1):
PrecisionFlo control assembly (1)
pendant (2)
fluid metering assembly (3)
cables and hoses
PrecisionFlo options include:
inlet and dispense device pressure sensors to
monitor inlet and dispense device pressures, and
also to report faults
air spray package to provide shaping air to the fluid
spray.
a variety of dispense devices to handle specific fluid
characteristics and application requirements
PrecisionFlo Control Assembly
The PrecisionFlo control assembly includes the enclo-
sure containing controlling, sensing, and power elec-
tronics for the metering valve, and an operator control
pendant which is used for the operator to easily moni-
tor, configure, and test the module.
The PrecisionFlo control assembly (1) houses a micro-
processor, which gives electronic commands to the
PrecisionFlo metering valve and collects Statistical
Process Control information about your application.
You program the PrecisionFlo module using the control
assembly’s pendant (2). Additional buttons on the
control assembly start and stop the PrecisionFlo
module.
