Worried about operating complexities? GDS Automation’s adhesive dispensers simplify precision bonding with intuitive workflows. Follow this professional guide to maximize efficiency and equipment longevity.
1. Preparing Your Dispenser & Workspace
Safety First:
Power off the dispenser and depressurize compressed air lines before any operation to prevent accidental activation.
Wear heat-resistant gloves when handling nozzles or barrels if dispensing thermosetting adhesives.
Clear debris from the dispensing area using unidirectional swipes—avoid back-and-forth motions that spread residue.
Material Readiness:
Store adhesives per manufacturer specs (temperature/humidity) to prevent premature curing.
2. Filling Adhesive: System-Specific Methods
Barrel Feeding System (Most Common):
① Release compressed air pressure fully.
② Unscrew the barrel housing and insert a new adhesive cartridge.
③ Repressurize gradually to avoid bubble formation.
AB Glue or Pump-Metered Systems:
Connect adhesive supply lines to designated inlets.
Prime pumps until adhesive flows uniformly through nozzles.
3. Controlling Dispensing Operations
Manual Mode:
Use the physical trigger/button for spot applications or prototyping.
Automated Mode:
Program start/stop cycles via the control panel for batch production.
Integrate with PLC systems for synchronized assembly lines.
4. Programming Dispensing Paths
① Access the programming interface (touchscreen or software).
② Set waypoint coordinates for the dispensing head’s route.
③ Adjust parameters:
- Speed: Slower = thicker beads; faster = finer lines.
- Z-axis height: Maintain 1–3 mm above substrates for consistency.
④ Save the profile for repeat tasks.
5. Adjusting Dispensing Volume
Fine-tune output using three levers:
Nozzle Size: Larger apertures increase flow rate.
Air Pressure: Higher pressure (typically 40–80 PSI) boosts volume; calibrate using test runs.
Head Speed: Reduce speed for heavier deposits.
6. Maintenance & Longevity Protocols
Post-Use Cleaning:
Flush residues with manufacturer-approved solvents within 5 minutes of shutdown.
Wipe nozzles unidirectionally; never scrub back-and-forth.
Preventive Measures:
Store adhesives below 25°C to delay curing.
Inspect seals monthly—replace if cracked.
Lubricate moving parts quarterly with high-temp grease.
Critical Safety Reminders
Heat Hazard: Never touch nozzles during/after operation—maintain 15 cm clearance.
Electrical Safety: Only trained professionals should service internal components.
Chemical Handling: Use VOC-rated respirators in poorly ventilated areas.
