Part 1034108_04 � 2011 Nordson Corporation

Description EM‐900 electric guns are high‐speed, all‐electric guns designed for theprecision placement of hot melt adhesive. Each adhesive bead is depositedprecisely and independently through the electric dispensing modules(valves) positioned on the gun manifold. The manifold supplies adhesive toall the modules from a single hose.

Each module is an electric solenoid valve with a spring‐loaded armatureinside the adhesive chamber. The module stroke can be adjusted tooptimize performance and to balance the adhesive flow among modules.The module coils are either AC‐powered or operated via an electric gundriver. All module mounting locations on the manifold are electrically active,but each may be blocked off if a module is not needed.

The gun temperature is controlled by a resistance temperature detector(RTD). RTD overtemperature protection is provided by a 246 �C (475 �F)overtemperature thermoswitch.

Standard EM‐900 guns are available in standard entry, top entry, and lowprofile configurations and may have one to six modules. The guns may havetwo independently wired coil sets, allowing modules to be fired on differenttiming signals, or three or four independently wired coil sets, allowingmodules to be fired on three or four different timing signals. EM‐900 gunsare water‐resistant, utilizing a special cable and connector assembly to sealagainst moisture. A variety of standard nozzles are available.

Preparing for Operation 1. Start the hot melt system and allow it to reach operating temperature.

Refer to the melter manual as needed.

2. Tighten the mounting bracket bolts.

3. Tighten all hydraulic fittings.

4. Remove the gun nozzles and flush adhesive through the guns. Refer tothe melter manual for the flushing procedure.

5. Reinstall the gun nozzles.

Setting the Gun Temperature

Use a pyrometer to periodically measure the operating temperature of thegun. Adjust the temperature of the gun at the melter or temperaturecontroller. Refer to melter or temperature controller manual as needed.

Adjusting the Module Stroke

Module stroke is the distance the armature must travel to open. The stroke isfactory‐set at 0.38 mm (0.015 in.), which is recommended for mostapplications. However, module stroke adjustment may be required if:

� A high‐viscosity adhesive is used. High‐viscosity adhesives may

require a longer stroke to achieve the desired flow rate.

� The flow rate among several modules is not balanced.

Before adjusting the module stroke, keep the following in mind:

� Increasing the stroke distance over 0.61 mm (0.024 in.) results in

poor operational reliability.

� Decreasing the stroke distance below 0.18 mm (0.007 in.) can result

in poor adhesive flow or cutoff.

To adjust the module stroke:

See Figure 8.

1. Loosen retaining nut (2) on the top of the module.

2. Using a screwdriver, carefully turn the guide tube (1) clockwise until thearmature needle stops against the seat.

3. Turn the guide tube one‐half turn counterclockwise to adjust the stroke to0.38 mm (0.015 in.).

4. While holding the guide tube stationary, tighten the retaining nut. Do notovertighten.
