Step-by-Step Guide to Using an Automatic Dispensing Machine
1. Pre-Operation Preparation
• Check Power and Air Supply: Ensure the machine is connected to a stable power source (AC 110–220V) and verify that the air pressure is within the recommended range.
• Select the Right Adhesive: Choose glue types compatible with your machine (e.g., silicone, UV adhesive, epoxy) based on viscosity and curing requirements.
• Inspect Components: Clean the nozzle, tubing, and glue container to prevent clogging. Replace worn-out parts like needles or valves.
2. Machine Setup
• Calibrate Coordinates: Use the machine’s teaching pendant or touchscreen to set the X, Y, and Z axes. Align the dispensing head with the workpiece’s starting point for precision.
• Program Parameters:
• Set dispensing speed, glue volume, and pressure based on material requirements.
• Choose patterns (dots, lines, circles) via the control panel.
• Test Run: Perform a trial on a sample piece to verify glue consistency and positioning accuracy.
3. Operation Best Practices
• Secure the Workpiece: Use fixtures to stabilize the product and prevent misalignment during dispensing.
• Monitor the Process: Watch for air bubbles, uneven glue flow, or nozzle blockages. Adjust parameters in real time if needed.
• Safety Measures: Wear protective gloves and goggles. Avoid touching moving parts like the dispensing head or conveyor belt.
4. Post-Operation Maintenance
• Clean Thoroughly: Flush the nozzle and tubing with a neutral solvent to remove residual adhesive. Avoid corrosive cleaners.
• Regular Maintenance: Lubricate mechanical parts, check electrical connections, and replace filters monthly.
• Store Properly: Keep the machine in a dry, dust-free environment (10–40°C) and disconnect power when not in use.
