Tổng quan về sản phẩm
The LOCTITE RC40 Integrated Semi-Automatic Dispenser is a compact, factory-ready system that merges a dual-channel pneumatic controller and an adhesive reservoir into a single unit. It enables precise dispensing of adhesives—such as cyanoacrylates, retentive compounds, threadlockers and light-curing systems—via two independent output channels. With selectable modes (timed, continuous, manual), a built-in low-level sensor, and support for a wide range of package sizes (50 mL up to 2 kg), the RC40 is designed to streamline adhesive automation for bead or dot applications.
Tính năng chính & Lợi ích
-
Dual independent timing channels – control two dispense valves or applicators simultaneously or in sequence.
-
Integrated reservoir and controller – simplifies set-up and saves space compared to separate components.
-
Three operating modes (Timed, Continuous, Manual) – ideal for dots, beads or custom dispense patterns.
-
Low-level sensor and alarm – alerts when adhesive supply is low, reducing production downtime.
-
Support for multiple adhesive package sizes – accommodates 50 mL, 200 g, 250 mL, 500 g, 1 L, 2 kg bottles/tubes for flexibility.
-
Pneumatic pressure control (0-7 bar / 0-100 psi) – consistent dispensing performance across applications.
Cách sử dụng
-
Installation – Place the RC40 on a stable surface and connect power (100-240 VAC) and filtered dry compressed air (up to 7 bar).
-
Load Adhesive – Insert the adhesive bottle into the reservoir cradle, connect feed tubing, and close reservoir lid. Ensure proper alignment with the low-level sensor.
-
Setup Channels – Use the keypad and LCD display to configure Channel A and Channel B independently: select mode (Timed, Continuous, Manual), set dispense time (0.01-99.99 s), delay, and pressure.
-
Attach Dispense Valves – Connect pneumatic dispense valves or handheld applicators to each channel; ensure tubing and air lines are short and properly sealed for optimum control.
-
Dispense Operation – Activate dispensing via footswitch, finger switch or external start signal. Monitor low-level alarm and ready signals via PLC I/O if integrated.
-
Bảo trì – Regularly purge adhesive lines when idle, check O-rings and tubing, and follow maintenance schedule as provided in manual.
Mẹo:
-
Use adhesive types compatible with the RC40 for best results (e.g., CA, light-cure or anaerobic).
-
Keep feed tubing and air lines as short as possible to maintain dispensing accuracy.
-
Utilize the low-level alarm to avoid last-minute interruptions in production.
Câu hỏi thường gặp
Q1: Can the RC40 control more than one dispense valve?
A1: Yes — it features two independent timing channels, each controlling a separate pneumatic output (valve or applicator).
Q2: What adhesive package sizes does it accept?
A2: It supports multiple formats: 50 mL, 200 g, 250 mL, 500 g, 1 L, and 2 kg bottles or tubes.
Q3: What pressure range is supported for adhesive dispense?
A3: Reservoir pressure is adjustable from 0 to 7 bar (0-100 psi).
Q4: Are timed modes available?
A4: Yes — the RC40 supports three modes: Timed (preset duration), Continuous (while start signal is active), and Manual (foot-switch).
Q5: What operating ambient temperature is required?
A5: The unit is rated for +10 °C to +40 °C (+50 °F to +104 °F).
