High-Pressure Fluids

High-pressure fluids, unless they are safely contained, are extremelyhazardous. Always relieve fluid pressure before adjusting or servicinghigh pressure equipment. A jet of high-pressure fluid can cut like a knifeand cause serious bodily injury, amputation, or death. Fluids penetratingthe skin can also cause toxic poisoning.

If you suffer a fluid injection injury, seek medical care immediately. Ifpossible, provide a copy of the MSDS for the injected fluid to the healthcare provider.

The National Spray Equipment Manufacturers Association has created awallet card that you should carry when you are operating high-pressurespray equipment. These cards are supplied with your equipment. Thefollowing is the text of this card:

WARNING: Any injury caused by high pressure liquid can beserious. If you are injured or even suspect an injury:

� Go to an emergency room immediately.� Tell the doctor that you suspect an injection injury.� Show him this card.� Tell him what kind of material you were spraying.

MEDICAL ALERT—AIRLESS SPRAY WOUNDS: NOTE TO PHYSICIAN

Injection in the skin is a serious traumatic injury. It is important to treatthe injury surgically as soon as possible. Do not delay treatment toresearch toxicity. Toxicity is a concern with some exotic coatings injecteddirectly into the bloodstream.

Consultation with a plastic surgeon or a reconstructive hand surgeon maybe advisable.

The seriousness of the wound depends on where the injury is on thebody, whether the substance hit something on its way in and deflectedcausing more damage, and many other variables including skinmicroflora residing in the paint or gun which are blasted into the wound.If the injected paint contains acrylic latex and titanium dioxide thatdamage the tissue’s resistance to infection, bacterial growth will flourish.The treatment that doctors recommend for an injection injury to the handincludes immediate decompression of the closed vascular compartmentsof the hand to release the underlying tissue distended by the injectedpaint, judicious wound debridement, and immediate antibiotic treatment.

Applicator Tool Basic Operation

See Figure 2. The Drip and Drag applicator tool applies primer to aworkpiece via dispensing guns (3). The gripper jaws (4) on the applicatortool grip, drag, and drop the felt supplied by the felt wick dispenser. Thefelt held in the gripper jaws applies the primer dispensed from the guns.Fiber optic sensors (2) measure the primer dispense rates andcommunicate dispense information to a system controller. A black primerfluid regulator (5) controls the black primer dispensing pressure.

The applicator tool can be robot-mounted (the robot arm moves theapplicator tool to the workpiece) or stationary (a robot presents theworkpiece to the applicator tool).

The applicator tool has a seven-station valve pack (1) that controls thepneumatic components found in the applicator tool. The valve pack istypically mounted on the robot arm with an external air supply (such asfrom a primer delivery system or other configuration as required by yourapplication).

Manual 28-13

See Figure 3. The felt wick dispenser is a pneumatically powered devicethat dispenses and cuts felt for pickup by the Drip and Drag applicatortool. A 12-station valve pack (2) mounted on the felt wick dispenserframe (5) controls the various devices.

Two spools of felt (3), with an auto-changeover feature, are mounted tothe dispenser. When one spool of felt reaches the low limit, the supply isautomatically switched to the other spool (via robot programming).

In the course of operation, the applicator tool drops the used felt into awaste container located on a platform (7) welded to the felt wickdispenser frame. The robot then positions the applicator tool over the feltwick dispenser so that it can pick up a fresh piece of felt.

Air driven devices cause the dispenser to index a fresh length of felt aftereach completed dispense cycle. The felt wick dispenser is equipped witha slide mechanism and a blade set (1) that pushes forward to cut the feltafter it is indexed from the spool. The dispenser is preset to dispense feltthat is 2.25-in. (long) x 0.75-in. (wide) x 0.25-in. (thick). The feedermechanism can be adjusted to accommodate felts of varying thickness,width, and length.

Fiber optic sensors are mounted between the two blade sets to measurethe presence or absence of felt in the applicator tool gripper jaws.Solvent brushes (6) are wetted and used to clean the dispensing gunnozzles between dispense cycles.

See Figure 4. The solvent brush system feeds solvent (typically MEK)from a five-gallon pressure pot (3) through tubing (4) to a set of brushesmounted on the felt wick dispenser (See Figure 3, (8)). The solventpressure pot has a regulator (2) the keeps the pressure below 0.7 bar(10 psi). The pressure in the pot can be adjusted to regulate solvent flowto the brushes.

Pneumatic controls continually feed solvent to the brushes, keeping themwet. Supply air to the solvent brush system is attached at the air inletelbow (1). In dispense operation, the primer dispensing guns on theapplicator tool are passed over the brushes to keep the guns free ofmaterial buildup.

NOTE: The robot must pass the guns over the solvent brushes afterevery dispense cycle (three passes minimum). The robot can beprogrammed to clean the felt load rods every fourth or fifth cycle.

Install the felt wick dispenser in the glass cell where the robot can easilyobtain the felt from the dispenser. Follow this procedure to install the feltwick dispenser in a typical setup:

1. See Figure 3. Secure the dispenser frame (5) to the floor.

2. Connect an air supply line (shop air — 20 cfm @ 120 psi) to the12-station valve pack on the side of the dispenser to the elbow (4).

3. Orient the felt spools (3) so that they can be accessed withoutentering the glass cell and stopping production.

4. Provide an electrical connection from the PLC to the valve pack (6).

Adjusting the Felt Wick Dispenser

See Figure 6. Refer to Table 2 for guidelines for adjusting the felt wickdispenser.

Table 2 Felt Wick Dispenser Adjustments

Item How to Adjust

Length of felt Thread the rod and nut assembly (5) at the bottom of the felt shuttle, which limits themovement of the shuttle. You can adjust the length from 1.75-in. to 2.25-in. (typical felt lengthis set for 2.25 in.).

Felt position Using a 3/16 hex bit, loosen the two screws (1) on the felt guide (6). Move the felt guideposition to accommodate different widths of felt. One edge of the felt is always located nearone edge of the blade set.

Felt tension Change the position of the in-feed felt guide (4). The location of the guide will determine theamount of drag on the felt prior to entering the felt shuttle. This translates into tension in thefelt between the in-feed guide and the felt shuttle clamp.

You cannot control the tension after the felt protrudes from the felt shuttle clamp. The behaviorof the felt after protruding from the clamp mechanism is largely determined by the felt stiffness.

Felt width Using a 5/32 hex bit, loosen the screws (2) that hold the plate (3) in place. Sliding the plateaway from the felt pathway will allow for using a wider felt.

Felt location You cannot adjust the lateral location of the felt as it protrudes from the mechanism. Thelocation is fixed.

Replacing the Solvent Brushes

See Figure 3. Follow these procedures to replace the solventbrushes (8):

1. Using pliers, locking pliers, or a pipe wrench, unscrew the brushesfrom their manifold.

CAUTION: The brush bodies are aluminum and they arescrewed into steel fittings. Take care not to damage the brushthreads when screwing them into the manifold.

2. Screw in the replacement brushes. Tighten them hand tight. Uselocking pliers to tighten the brushes on full turn past hand tight.

3. Using scissors, trim the bristles of the brushes into a ball-shapedpattern, with the longest fibers at the center of the ball. This will helpkeep the brush bristles from splaying to maximize the effectiveness ofthe brushes.
