Abstract:
A hot melt system includes a melt system, a feed system, a dispensing system, and a pump. The melt system melts the pellets to produce a liquid, and the pump delivers the liquid to the dispensing system. The feed system is coordinated with the operation of the pump to control the amount of pellets delivered to the melt system.
Abstract:
An application system is disclosed, e.g., for the application of a sealing, adhesive or other coating material having a high viscosity, for example, on vehicle bodies. An exemplary application system may include an application robot fitted with an applicator having at least one application nozzle for the coating material, and a dosing device for general dosing of the coating material applied by the application nozzle, as may be desired. An exemplary dosing device may include a screw pump or a spiral pump that is built into or onto the applicator, or into or onto a robot arm of the displacement machine.
Abstract:
A first pressure generating chamber, which is sealed by a first elastic plate mounted with a first piezoelectric element at one surface, and a second pressure generating chamber, which is sealed by a second elastic plate mounted with a second piezoelectric element at one surface are formed in a casing. The second pressure generating chamber is formed with an opening which is a discharge port. A mixture is discharged from the discharge port. A nozzle formed with an opening jets gas toward a substrate surface, and is provided in the vicinity of the discharge port of the ink head.
Abstract:
A material supply system includes a plunger pump, a pressure reducing valve, an accumulator and a dispenser. The plunger pump is connected with the pressure reducing valve by a primary supply line. The pressure reducing valve is connected with the dispenser by a secondary supply line. The accumulator is provided in the secondary supply line and has a spring. A pressure sensor senses the pressure nearly at the inlet port of the dispenser. The sensed pressure is the basis for controlling the pressure reduction ratio of the pressure reducing valve. The second chamber of the accumulator stores a sealing compound or other material. The second chamber varies in volume with the balance between the pressure in the secondary supply line and the force of the accumulator spring so as to relax the pressure fluctuation in this line.
Abstract:
An apparatus (30, 100, 200) is presented for forming a glue profile for gluing the bottom sheets (2) and/or folded bottoms (1) of tube portions which (1, 2) [sic] are used for forming block bottom bags (19). The device (30,100,200) comprises the following features: at least one first glue reservoir (101) or at least one glue input (111a,b) from which glue is supplied, glue lines (110) which transport glue to the gluing locations, a number of glue valves (32) which are to open and close individually, the glue profile (4) being definable based on the selective opening of the valves (32); glue outputs (71) which are allocated to the valves (32); at least one second glue reservoir (102), by means of which the second glue reservoir (102) can be pressurized. Methods for forming a glue profile (4) are also laid out.

Abstract:
A fluid application device stores seam paste in a reservoir tank 18 and feeds the seam paste to a pressure tank 20 through a feed pump 22. Inside of the pressure tank 20 is maintained under a given air pressure by a pneumatic unit 26, and the seam paste is supplied from the pressure tank 20 to an application nozzle 16 through a supply pipe 24. A level sensor 28 detects fluid level of stored seam paste in the pressure tank 20, and a detection signal is input to a controller 30. The controller 30 controls operation of the feed pump 22 based on the detection signal that is transmitted from the level sensor 28 and also controls a supply amount of the seam paste to the pressure tank 20 to maintain the fluid level in the pressure tank 20 at a fixed level.
Abstract:
A suck back valve has a volume-varying mechanism including a cylindrical flexible member which has a flow chamber formed therein for communicating with a fluid passage having a first port and a fluid passage having a second port, a fixing member which fixes a part of the outer circumferential surface of the cylindrical flexible member to a joint section, and a hook member which increases the volume of the flow chamber by expanding and deforming the outer circumferential surface of the cylindrical flexible member.
Abstract:
A scratch resistant coating application system for a vehicle includes: a pump having an output opening where a first end of a discharging line is connected, the pump storing aqueous emulsion; a feeder having an input opening where a second end of the discharging line is connected and an output opening where a first end of a feeding line is connected, the feeder releasing regulated aqueous emulsion into the feeding line; a sprayer connected to a second end of the feeding line for spraying the aqueous emulsion out to atmosphere; a robot having a robot arm on which the feeder and the sprayer are mounted, the robot arm carrying the sprayer; a visual system mounted on a ceiling of a work area for detecting a vehicle's position; and a central control unit electrically connected to the pump, the feeder, the robot, and the visual system for controlling the pump, the feeder, and the robot on the basis of data from the feeder and the visual system.
Abstract:
A method for substantially dynamic flow control when dispensing a substantially viscous material by means of a dosing system, including at least one dosing unit controlled by means of a computer unit, which dosing unit consists of at least one pressure part, a material container for containing the material to be applied, a nozzle and a pressure member displaceable in the material container. A test sequence is run before the dispensing operation and during the test sequence data is collected mainly about the dosing unit including the pressure within at least one pressure part, the position of the pressure member of the dosing unit, and a material feed pressure by the computer unit, a set value is determined for a material feed pressure and a material flow substantially with regard to the collected data and the material is dispensed with regard to the set value for flow controlled by means of a regulator, as a direct value of the set flow value and at the same time the application flow is controlled.
