Performance

A light‐touch trigger activates a micro‐switch in the gun handle, providinginstant adhesive flow. The ball and seat design assures clean cut‐off at thenozzle. The gun is equipped with resistance temperature detectors (RTDs).When used with RTD‐controlled Nordson systems, FP‐200 guns permit guntemperature control within one 1�F (0.5�C).

Reduced Maintenance Costs

The guns are equipped with quick disconnecting electrical plugs. Gunmodules are interchangeable for ease of cleaning and maintenance. Amodule can be replaced in minutes by simply removing two cap screws andtwo o‐rings. The air‐open, spring‐close design includes long‐life seals andprovides superior cutoff, greater pattern uniformity and the ability to handle awide range of hot melt materials.

Design Flexibility

A wide selection of modules and nozzles is available for spiral spray andbead extrusion to meet numerous deposition requirements. PatentedControlled Fiberization� gun modules permit exceptional control of spiralpattern density without overspray. For bead extrusion flexibility, modules areavailable in standard and reduced cavity designs with a choice of nozzle andorifice diameters. Reduced cavity modules help provide clog‐free operationwith a self‐cleaning needle and nozzle assembly.

For operating ease, the FP‐200 guns incorporate an adjustable triggerhandle. An auxiliary guide handle permits two‐handed use for further control.The handle can be positioned for either left‐ or right‐handed use. Thecompact body design optimizes pattern visibility and lets the operatormaneuver the gun into otherwise difficult to reach areas.

FP‐200 guns can easily be converted from swirl to extrusion or extrusion toswirl using a conversion kit. Refer to Section 8, Parts, for conversion kit partnumbers.

An air supply line is connected to FP‐200 guns through an air pressureregulator, thus eliminating the need for an air control kit. FP‐200 guns thatcurrently use an air control kit may be easily replaced. Refer to ReplacingAir‐Control‐Kit FP‐200 Guns in Section 3, Installation.

Approvals

FP‐200 guns are designed to meet Underwriter's Laboratory (UL), Canadian(C‐UL), and Conformité Européenne (CE) standards.

Description 2-7


Selecting Swirl Spray Nozzles

There are two basic swirl spray nozzle types: the spray disk nozzle and thespray cap nozzle.

Spray disk nozzles have two parts: a disk and a retaining nut. The diskcontains the orifices for both the fiberizing air and the adhesive and issecured to the module by the retaining nut. The spray cap nozzle has thedisk and retaining nut as a single piece. Spray cap nozzles have a smallo‐ring that serves as a seal between the air section and the adhesive sectionof the nozzle.

Both nozzle options provide particular advantages. The spray cap nozzleprovides easy cleaning, but the part of the nozzle containing the orifices isnot recessed as with the spray disk nozzles. The spray disk's recessednozzle tip provides protection from tool damage and dropping the nozzle.

Swirl spray nozzles are typically constructed of brass, produce clockwisespray rotation and can produce pattern widths from 0.5 inches to 6.0 inch.Nozzles are available in various orifice sizes. A list of available spray nozzlesis in Section 7, Parts.

Wide pattern swirl nozzles are available in the following sizes: 0.020 in.,0.030 in., and 0.046 in. The pattern capabilities meet most product assemblyapplications for density, coverage, and edge control. These arerecommended for all but the most precise (<1.0 in. width) applications.

Special application nozzles are available. Contact your Nordsonrepresentative for additional information.

8. Restore the system to normal operation by following the startupprocedures in the applicator product manual.

Maintenance5-6


Cleaning Swirl Nozzles

Nozzle clogging occurs when a filter screen is damaged or when there ischarred material in the hose or gun. Char may occur if adhesive is heatedabove the application temperature recommended by the adhesivemanufacturer. If this occurs it may be necessary to replace the gun.

1. Relieve hydraulic pressure (refer to the Relieving Hydraulic Pressure inInstallation).


3. Move the applicator circuit breaker to the OFF position, then disconnectand lock out input electrical power to the applicator (see Figures 5‐1 and5‐2).

NOTE: Take care not to drop the swirl nozzle when removing theretaining nut. Damage from dropping can cause the nozzle to producean abnormal pattern.

4. Loosen the nozzle retaining nut with a wrench, then remove the nozzleand retaining nut with a gloved hand (see Figure 5‐3).

5. Place the nozzle in a container of Type�R fluid or equivalent. Use acontrolled heating device (such as a small, deep‐fat fryer orthermostatically‐controlled hot plate) to heat the Type�R fluid above thehot melt adhesive material melting temperature (see Figure�5‐4).

NOTE: Another method for cleaning nozzles is to place the parts in anultrasonic cleaner filled with Type�R fluid.

6. Remove the nozzle from the cleaning fluid, then separate the nozzle diskfrom the retaining nut and inspect the nozzle for warping and blockage.

NOTE: Prior to nozzle replacement, it may be advisable to trigger airthrough the gun body to remove adhesive that may have entered an airport. If this step is taken, slowly increase air pressure at the regulator to34 or 69�kPa (5 or 10�psi). Trigger the gun, then turn the air regulator off.

Maintenance 5-7


CAUTION: Installing a nozzle disk upside down deforms the disk and

prevents the bead from forming a spiral. If a deformed disk is then correctlyinstalled, adhesive may leak into the nozzle air section or an abnormalpattern may be produced.

7. Reinstall the nozzle and retaining nut. Ensure that the disk is correctlyplaced with the pointed side down. Torque the retaining nut to 20‐25 in‐lb.
