E 2003 Nordson Corporation Manual 52-LA822-MA-01 Part 1044072A 12 LA 822 Glue Guns Less Obvious Dangers WARNING: An operator or service technician working with the equipment should be aware of the less-obvious dangers that often cannot be completely minimized at production sites: S Pressurized system components S The possibility that electrical potentials may remain in the system after the system was de-energized S Liquid adhesive vapors S Hydraulically or pneumatically operated system components S Uncovered winding parts Action in the Event of System Malfunction If the system malfunctions, switch it off immediately. S Turn the main switch off, or use emergency stop switch or similar safety feature as provided. S After equipment has come to a standstill and before reoperating it, have it repaired by qualified personnel. Maintenance/Repair Allow only qualified personnel to perform the procedures described in this document. Work should only be carried out on a completely depressurized system, following all safety procedures. NOTE: Depending on the configuration of the liquid adhesive application system, high pressure may remain between application head(s) and pressure regulator or pump/s even after the system has been switched off using the main switch or the emergency stop. This especially applies to multi-hose configurations between pump/s and application head/s. Part 1044072A Manual 52-LA822-MA-01 E 2003 Nordson Corporation LA 822 Glue Guns 13 Relieving Hydraulic Pressure 1. Prior to maintenance and repair work it is therefore essential to ensure that all liquid adhesive application system components are depressurized as follows: S Release input pressure in front of pump by shutting off customer compressed air supply. S Release any remaining system pressure behind the pumps by manually operating the application heads. 2. Secure pneumatically- and hydraulically-operated equipment against uncontrolled movement. 3. Switch off system electrically. Before You Begin WARNING: Some voltage is still present in the control cabinet even after equipment has been turned off at the main switch. Complete the following steps prior to maintenance or repair: 1. Disconnect external power supply. 2. Lock out external power supply. 3. Check no voltage is present. 4. Ground and short. 5. Cover nearby live sections. If liquid adhesive application system is left idle for extended periods (e.g. overnight or long breaks) Nordson recommends applying petroleum jelly to the application head nozzles to prevent them from drying out and becoming blocked as a result. Make sure that only genuine Nordson parts are used. E 2003 Nordson Corporation Manual 52-LA822-MA-01 Part 1044072A 14 LA 822 Glue Guns Cleaning NOTE: Always refer to the liquid adhesive manufacturer’s Material Safety Data Sheet or material information sheet before working with any cleaning fluids. WARNING: Never clean any aluminium part or flush any system using halogenated hydrocarbon fluids. Examples of common halogenated hydrocarbons are: dichloromethylene, 1,1,1-trichloroethylene and perchlorethylene. Halogenated hydrocarbons may react violently with aluminium parts. Make sure that the following cleaning guidelines are observed: S Never use an open flame to clean the system or its components. S Check that (warm) water can be used to clean the liquid adhesive system components, possibly with the addition of household washing-up liquid. If this is not possible, use only the cleaning fluid stated in the liquid adhesive manufacturer’s information. If the manufacturer recommends heating the cleaner, note the flash point. S Ensure sufficient room ventilation to draw off vapors. WARNING: Fire, open flames and smoking are prohibited when cleaning fluids are used. Observe all explosion prevention regulations. Cleaning fluids may only be heated using temperature controlled and explosion-protected heaters. S Disposal must be according to the waste key in the DIN Safety Data Sheet. Liquid adhesives or residue, solvent or separating agents must not be released into open waterways. In the case of a leak or spillage, contain liquid and if necessary use an absorbant material e.g. sawdust to soak it up; then proceed according to the relevant waste disposal regulations. S If the liquid adhesive application system is to be idle for an extended period, the entire system should be flushed and outlets sealed with petroleum jelly. Warm water is usually used to flush application systems with which water-based liquid adhesives are processed. S If the liquid adhesive manufacturer specially recommends a flushing agent, the manufacturer’s safety and disposal details must be followed. Part 1044072A Manual 52-LA822-MA-01 E 2003 Nordson Corporation LA 822 Glue Guns 15 Liquid Adhesives As there is a wide variety of liquid adhesives available with different compositions and characteristics, it is impossible here to give an exhaustive list of safety notes reflecting the typical characteristics of liquid adhesives. The use of liquid adhesives in Nordson’s liquid adhesive application systems therefore requires reference to the liquid adhesive manufacturer’s documents beforehand. Information relating to safety aspects e.g. concerning solvent content, hazards and countermeasures in the event of liquid adhesive coming into contact with skin or mucous membranes are contained in the technical data sheets and the DIN Safety Data Sheets from the manufacturer. Make sure that the following guidelines are observed: S Always refer to the manufacturer’s Material Safety Data Sheet or material information before working with any liquid adhesives. S It may be necessary to refer to the manufacturer’s notes on the use of materials from a third party. These may be required for processing a liquid adhesive, but hazards arising from their use are not necessarily mentioned by the manufacturer of the liquid adhesive. S Liquid adhesives may still give off vapors when they are processed correctly. The smell produced can cause some annoyance. This is especially true where liquid adhesives are used that contain solvent, thus requiring the use of breathing equipment e.g. a filter. S If the prescribed processing conditions are not followed, harmful decomposition products may develop. Therefore, the vapors must be removed. S Wash hands well before breaks and when work is finished. S If liquid adhesive comes into contact with eyes or mucous membranes, rinse well with water—especially the eyes. Change damp clothes, and seek medical advice if it is swallowed. S Disposal must be according to the waste key in the DIN Safety Data Sheet. Liquid adhesives or residue, solvent or separating agents must not be released into open waterways. In the case of a leak or spillage, contain liquid and if necessary use an absorbant material e.g. sawdust to soak it up; then proceed according to the relevant waste disposal regulations. S If solvents or separating agents are used to process a liquid adhesive, follow the safety and disposal information from the manufacturer.

Part 1044072A Manual 52-LA822-MA-01 E 2003 Nordson Corporation LA 822 Glue Guns 19 Operation Startup 1. Check the glue level in the tank or drum. 2. Set the air pressure for the pump or the tank to the required glue pressure. 3. Position the guns on the cross bar and clamp into position. 4. Set the height of each gun so that the product can pass under the nozzle (or guide or tip sealer when used). NOTE: The guns can be used with the nozzle tip up to 6 – 10 mm (0.2 – 0.4 in.) away from the surface to be glued. Depending on the surface of the product, it may be necessary to alter the ON and OFF compensation values to maintain the accuracy of the glue bead position as the nozzle gets further away from the product. NOTE: In general, the faster the speed, the closer the nozzle needs to be to the surface. For best performance, make sure that the gun nozzle is as close to the product as possible. 5. Run some product through the machine to make sure that it runs through without snagging. Adjust the height of the gun(s) if necessary. 6. Set the controller to give the required glue line dimensions. Refer to the controller product manual. NOTE: For multi-gun applications where the size of the glue spot is critical, it may be necessary to adjust the gun opening (the gap between the plunger and the armature) to obtain the same size spots from all the guns. 7. Set the gap between the plunger and the armature. NOTE: If using the LA 822M, LA 822MB, or LA 822MEK gun, loosen the adjusting locking set screw on the front of the gun. a. While the gun is energized and glue is flowing, turn the armature nut clockwise until the glue flow becomes a slow drip. CAUTION: Be careful not to over-tighten or the ball plunger will be damaged. b. After the glue flow stops, rotate the nut counterclockwise one-third of a turn (2 flats of the hex nut). c. De-energize the gun. d. Test the adjustment. NOTE: If using the LA 822 gun, lock the set screw position. E 2003 Nordson Corporation Manual 52-LA822-MA-01 Part 1044072A 20 LA 822 Glue Guns Startup (contd) 8. Prime the guns for approximately three minutes or long enough to fill approximately one cup. 9. Remove the gun and hook assembly from each bracket, leaving the clamp in place as the reference point. Purge each gun in turn for approximately 20 seconds. 10. Wipe the face of the gun clean with a wet cloth, then purge each gun again for approximately 20 seconds. When the adhesive stream is jetting uninterrupted from the end of the nozzle, the gun is fully primed. NOTE: It is important that no air remains in the glue supply lines. For Carton Folder/Gluers 1. Refit each gun, making sure that they are replaced in the same position. 2. Inch the cartons through; examine the start/stop positions of each glue bead and adjust the controller if necessary. Adjust the position of the guns on the cross bar if required. 3. When using a Glue Regulator unit, set the Standoff to adjust the glue pressure to give the correct volume of adhesive at the lowest speed. 4. While running the machine at its full running speed, use the Slope to adjust the pressure to achieve the required volume of adhesive. For Folding or Mailing Machines 1. Refit each gun and remove the fold plates. 2. Run sheets through, one at a time, and examine each glue bead. Reset the controller if necessary. Adjust the glue pressure to achieve desired glue bead width. 3. Replace the fold plates and run 10 sheets through. Check glue beads for final spread. Adjust pressure if necessary. Part 1044072A Manual 52-LA822-MA-01 E 2003 Nordson Corporation LA 822 Glue Guns 21 Shutdown 1. If stopping for a short break (e.g., lunch) or overnight, remove the arm and gun assembly for the bracket and wipe the nozzle clean, using a damp cloth. 2. Whenever possible, leave the air supply connected and the air pressure on. NOTE: If using LA 822M or LA 822MB guns, apply a small amount of grease to the base of the nozzle to exclude air. NOTE: If the LA 822M or LA 822MB guns are fitted with tip sealers, switch the nozzle tip sealers to cover the nozzles whenever the machine is stopped. Maintenance Make sure the glue guns are kept in good condition to maintain quality performance. To prevent the lines from clogging when not in use: S If glue is purged through all of the lines, rotate the use of the guns periodically (example: when changing jobs). Do not leave glue in any of the unused guns or hoses for more than two days. S If any of the guns or hoses are not going to be used for two days or more, clean and leave water in the lines to prevent clogging. General Cleaning Clean the glue guns monthly.

The tip sealer is an air piston, spring return mechanism with an attached sealing pad. When pressurized air is applied to the piston, the sealing pad slides away from the nozzle. When pressurized air is removed, the spring pushes the pad back to cover the nozzle. The supply of pressurized air to the tip sealer is governed by a solenoid air valve, that is connected to the TSC 522 tip sealer control unit. The control unit permits activation of the tip sealer either manually or automatically. Refer to TSC 522 Tip Sealer Control Unit, given later in this section. x 4222014A Replacing the Tip Sealer Slide The tip sealer slide is removable. It is held in position with an engagement pin that snaps into the piston. Tip sealer Engagement pin Slide 4222011A Figure A-1 TS 422 Removing/Installing the Tip Sealer Slide E 2003 Nordson Corporation Manual 52-LA822-MA-01 Part 1044072A A-2 Options Shutting Off Individual Tip Sealers Only the working guns should have exposed nozzles while in use. When several guns are mounted on a machine, and only one or two are used on a particular job, keep the tip sealers on the unused guns in the closed position. Air shutoff valves are provided for this purpose. If a particular tip sealer is shut off, the tip sealer sliding pad remains in the closed position. Make sure that when a tip sealer air supply is turned OFF, this same gun is not actuated by the glue pattern controller. Turn OFF both the tip sealer and gun actuation. Turning the air supply ON returns the tip sealer to the operating mode. Mounting and Adjustment 1. Use the two Allen head cap screws (10 X 32 X ½ in.) supplied with the tip sealer to mount the tip sealer to the gun. CAUTION: Risk of equipment damage. Do not use longer or shorter screws. Different size screws may damage the gun. 2. Verify that when the slide is in the sealing position, the sealing pad is pressing lightly on the nozzle. Place a thin piece of paper between the nozzle and the pad. Slide the pad to the sealing position, keeping the paper between the pad and the nozzle, and pull on the paper. It should not slide out easily. If it does, perform one or all of the following until the paper is tight between the pad and the nozzle. a. Make sure that the sealing pad is not dirty, torn, or worn out. Remove the retaining plate and clean with water or replace as needed. b. Raise the mounting position of the tip sealer on the gun to the maximum allowed to increase the pressure between the pad and the nozzle. c. Readjust the engagement pin to increase the upward tension on the slide. NOTE: If the engagement pin is readjusted, use a thread locking compound (Loctite-blue) to prevent free turning of the engagement pin relative to the slide. 3. Make sure that the piston and O-ring are in good condition and well lubricated. Use light grease as needed. Part 1044072A Manual 52-LA822-MA-01 E 2003 Nordson Corporation Options A-3 TSC 522 Tip Sealer Control Unit The TSC 522 Tip Sealer Control unit is an electronic device that controls the activation of the TS 422 tip sealer. Refer to TS 422 Tip Sealer, given earlier in this section. It has the ability to control this activation manually or automatically. The type of glue pattern control unit used determines whether each glue gun can be activated individually or if several guns are activated together. The TCU and PDC controllers allow activation of a group of guns connected to the same channel. The APC controller allows activation of each gun individually. 4222012A Automatic Operation The automatic operation of the tip sealer is activated by the trigger photo sensor. When products traveling on the machine pass the trigger photo sensor they should activate the sensor. An active sensor is signaled by a blinking red LED on the rear of the sensor. The first trigger of the photo sensor that is detected by the tip seal control logic activates the sliding pad of the sealing unit. The sliding pad retracts from the glue gun nozzle, allowing glue to flow. NOTE: Earlier activation is possible. Normally the unit is connected to the photo sensor that starts the glue cycle. If it is necessary to retract the sealing pad earlier, a secondary photo sensor can be mounted upstream, which—when connected to the TSC 522—causes actuation of the tip sealer when triggered. Consult the factory if such an arrangement is desired. Continuous product flow sensed by the trigger photo sensor causes the tip sealer to remain retracted/open. When products stop flowing through the machine, the trigger photo sensor stops signaling the control logic. After five seconds of inactivity, the control logic causes the sliding pad to move forward toward the nozzle and seals it. E 2003 Nordson Corporation Manual 52-LA822-MA-01 Part 1044072A A-4 Options Manual Operation The remote key pad allows for remote manual activation of the tip sealer and of the glue gun. This is required for purging the guns or for checking their proper operation. S TIP SEALER Key - Press the key marked TIP SEALER one time to retract the sliding pad and expose the nozzle. - Press it a second time to make the sliding pad move forward and seal the nozzle. S Numbered PURGE Keys - Press one of the numbered purge key switches (1A, 2A, etc.) to activate the tip sealer and associated glue gun(s). - Press it a second time to release the purge key switch to de-activate the tip sealer and associated glue gun(s). Example: S Press the 1A key to retract the tip sealer and activate the gun or group of guns associated with channel 1A. The glue output is slightly delayed to allow the sliding pad to clear the nozzle before the glue exits. S Press the 1A key again to release it and immediately de-activate the gun. This stops the flow of glue and allows the tip sealer sliding pad to slide back into the nozzle sealing position. Part 1044072A Manual 52-LA822-MA-01 E 2003 Nordson Corporation Options A-5 Mounting and Connections Mount the TSC 522 control unit close to the glue pattern controller to keep the connecting cables short and put the unit in easy reach of the operator. See FigureA-2. 1. Mount the air manifold, air valve, and air filter regulator close to the glue pattern controller, but out of the way of the operator. 2. Using the magnetic mount, mount the key pad to a steel surface in an area convenient for the operator’s reach. 3. Connect the trigger photo sensor—which is normally connected to the glue pattern control unit—to the tip sealer control unit. NOTE: Earlier activation is possible. Normally the unit is connected to the photo sensor that starts the glue cycle. If it is necessary to retract the sealing pad earlier, a secondary photo sensor can be mounted upstream. Consult the factory if such an arrangement is desired. 4. Connect the cable exiting the tip sealer control unit to the trigger photo sensor socket in the glue pattern controller. This is where the trigger photo sensor is normally connected. 5. Connect the solenoid air valve to the cable exiting the tip sealer control unit. 6. Connect the air supply (80 psi) to the air regulator and set the pressure to 80 psi. 7. Connect the 1/8 in. diameter air tubing to the tip sealer.
