Overview

Description

The SST Switch 3D Gun is a Stainless Steel, high-pressure, multi-nozzle material applicator for robotic applications that require high precision and quality. The SST Switch 3D Gun is equipped with a swivel for optimum robot flexibility and has three individually operated nozzles. The swivel makes it possible for the robot to rotate the nozzle head independently of the cables and the hoses supplying the

SST Switch 3D Gun.

The nozzle head can be specified for various nozzle types, angles and slot directions.

Due to its flexibility, the SST Switch 3D Gun is designed for applications like:

• Liquid Applied Sound Dampner (LASD).

• Underbody coating (UBC).

• Underbody sealing (UBS).

• Seam sealing, ISS, HEM.

The SST Switch 3D Gun is designed to handle most types of single component adhesives and sealants with medium to high viscosity.

The solenoid valves operating the pistons for the material valves are mounted externally for easy maintenance.

If required, the following optional features can be added to the basic configuration of the SST Switch 3D Gun:

• One PT 100 temperature sensor in the material inlet, measuring the inlet material temperature.

• The material pressure can be monitored by a pressure transducer mounted in the material channel.

Installation

To avoid personal injury, be especially careful when connecting the high pressure material supply system and always keep clear of the nozzles when test spraying.

Before starting installation of the Graco SST Switch 3D

Gun, refer to the

Description on page 6, and

Component Identification on page 7, in order to be

familiar with the various parts of the SST Switch 3D

Gun.

To ensure trouble free operation of the SST Switch 3D

Gun, it is important that the unit is properly installed on the robot. It is important that the function of the SST

Switch 3D Gun is carefully checked before start up.

The SST Switch 3D Gun has multiple robot mounting options which can be purchased separately from Graco.

See SST Switch 3D Gun Mounting Kits Manual,

(3A8066) for instructions and parts for mounting to a specific robot. For typical installation of a SST Switch 3D

Gun see

SST Switch 3D Gun Installation in this

section.

Inspect the SST Switch 3D Gun for shipping damage. If there is damage notify the shipping carrier immediately.

Grounding

The equipment must be grounded to reduce the risk of static sparking. Static sparking can cause fumes to ignite or explode. Grounding provides an escape wire for the electric current.

The following grounding instructions are minimum requirements for a basic SST Switch 3D gun installation.

The specific system and robot being used may include other equipment or objects that must be grounded.

Check local codes for detailed grounding instructions.

SST Switch 3D Gun: Ground through a connection to a properly grounded material hose and pump.

Pump: See your pump manual.

Material hoses: Use only electrically conductive hoses with a maximum of 100 ft. (30.5 m) combined hose

8 length to ensure grounding continuity. Check the electrical resistance of the material hoses at least once a week. If the total resistance to ground exceeds 25 megohms, replace the hose immediately. Use a meter that is capable of measuring resistance at this level.

Fluid supply container: Follow local codes.

Solvent pails used when flushing: Follow local codes.

Use only conductive metal pails, placed on a grounded surface. Do not place the pail on a non-conductive surface, such as paper or cardboard, which interrupts grounding continuity.

To maintain grounding continuity when flushing or relieving pressure: hold metal part of the SST Switch

3D Gun firmly to the inside of a grounded metal pail, then trigger the valves.

Flush SST Switch 3d Gun Before Using

The SST Switch 3D Gun was tested with lightweight mineral oil, which is left in the fluid passages to protect parts. To avoid contamination with oil, flush the SST

Switch 3D Gun with a fluid that is compatible with the fluid being dispensed and the equipment wetted parts.

Leak Test and Priming for Use

After the SST Switch 3D Gun is completely installed on the robot, the SST Switch 3D Gun can be tested for leaks. This procedure also primes the SST Switch 3D

Gun for use. a. Open the air supply. There must be no sound from leaking air.

b. Check that the solenoid valves (518), shown on

Swivel Chamber page 32, are working properly

by opening and closing each valve from the robot pendant and listen to the sound of the piston in operation.

c. Apply material supply pressure and check for leakage.

Operation

Flush the SST Switch 3D Gun

Operation Overview

The SST Switch 3D gun dispenses ribbons of material onto a substrate. The height and width of the material bead is dependent on the nozzle selection, flow rate of the material and the speed of the robot movement. The size of the bead can also be determined by the size of the nozzle. See

Performance Charts starting on page

40 to help determine settings of the SST Switch 3D

Gun.

To avoid fire and explosion, always ground equipment and waste container. To avoid static sparking and injury from splashing, always flush at the lowest possible pressure.

• Flush at the lowest pressure possible. Check connectors for leaks and tighten as necessary.

• Flush with a fluid that is compatible with the fluid being dispensed and the equipment wetted parts.

Setup

Pressure Relief Procedure

Follow the Pressure Relief Procedure whenever you see this symbol.

This equipment stays pressurized until pressure is manually relieved. To help prevent serious injury from pressurized fluid, such as skin injection and splashing fluid, follow the Pressure Relief Procedure when you stop spraying and before cleaning, checking, or servicing the equipment.

This procedure describes how to relieve pressure from the SST Switch 3D Gun. See your supply system manual for instructions on relieving pressure from the entire system.

1. Shut off the material supply.

2. Position the SST Switch 3D Gun into a grounded metal pail to relieve the fluid pressure.

3. Relieve all air pressure in the air lines by shutting off

the Customer supplied bleed valve. See F IG . 7.

4. If the nozzle tip or material hose is clogged or if pressure has not been fully relieved after following the steps above, very slowly loosen the customer supplied material hose from the 1/2 in. BSPP inlet

fitting (604), (see F IG . 7).

1. With the SST Switch 3D Gun fully primed and cable connections integrated into the robot control system, the SST Switch 3D Gun is ready for dispensing material onto the substrate.

2. Calculate the flow rate by the required height and width versus the robot speed.

3. Adjust the material control system supplied with the robot to the required flow rate.

4. Program the robot with the desired nozzle used to dispense the material. The nozzle must be perpendicular to the substrate.

5. Run the program and validate the height and width of the bead.

6. The flow rate, robot speed, and nozzle size can be adjusted to achieve the desired height and width of the material bead.

7. Nozzle distance from target can affect the quality of the bead. The further the nozzle is from target the more air can be trapped between the bottom of the bead and substrate.

8. After the correct height, width, and quality of the bead is confirmed, the SST Switch 3D Gun is ready for dispensing.

12 3A8476A

Maintenance

Inspect the SST Switch 3D Gun, material, and air lines at least once every two weeks. Inspect for leakage and other visible damage.

To help prevent serious injury from pressurized fluid, relieve pressure before cleaning, checking or servicing the equipment.

NOTE : Before disassembly, make sure all spare parts are available (new in an unopened package if delivered), and other parts are thoroughly cleaned.

Suitable lubricant and thread locking compound should also be available.

The following tables list recommended maintenance procedures and frequencies for typical usage. The maintenance is divided between mechanical and electrical tasks. A typical application is the SST Switch

3D Gun mounted on a robot dispensing a moderately abrasive sealant.

Maintenance Table

Task

Check the applicator for material leakages by visual inspection.

Listen carefully for air leakages.

Clean the gun thoroughly.

Inspect hoses and cables for excessive wear.

Check the leakage detection hole on the swivel chamber and all connections.

Check and tighten mounting connections

If possible, run a spray test on a spray test table.

Replace the needle packings.

Inspect needles for wear when replacing needle packing

Change the sealing rings in the swivel chamber

Schedule

Daily

Weekly

If a normal PVC material and supply pressure are used, replace after 1,000,000 cycles (1 cycle = open and close). If normal LAASD material and supply pressure are used, replace after 250,000 cycles.

Replace needles if needle coating has worn through and base material of needle is exposed.

After 500,000 revolutions

Preventive Maintenance

Typical wear parts in the SST Switch 3D Gun are the rotary seals (508) inside the swivel housing, the needle ball shutoff valves (418), and needle packing (411) seals.

Due to the different materials that can be used in the

SST Switch 3D Gun, the frequency for preventative maintenance has to be evaluated for each case of application.

Based on average usage,

Yearly Service Kit, 25U328

is provided for maintenance once a year and

Service

Kit, 25T485 is provided for maintenance once every two years (see page 38). Both of these kits are can be

purchased through Graco.

1. Dismount and disassemble the SST Switch 3D Gun.

See

SST Switch 3D Gun Disassembly starting on page17.

2. Reassemble the SST Switch 3D Gun. See Remove the Material Inlet Block starting on page 17. Then test all functions of the SST Switch 3D Gun, to make sure that all parts are installed correctly.

3A8476A 13

Recycling and Disposal

Factors Affecting SST Switch 3D

Gun Life

The maintenance table should be used as a guideline for the frequency of maintenance tasks. Additional factors that could affect SST Switch 3D Gun life include the following:

• Material Fluid - Abrasive or fiber filled fluids are much harder on seals, shafts, and seats than non-abrasive fluids such as oil.

• Pressure drop across the valve seat - As the internal valves open or close, the fluid is accelerated to a high velocity at the rod shutoff valve/seat contact area. The rate of wear at the rod shutoff valve/seat contact area will be much greater at 3000 psi than at 1000 psi. Changing the tip size to reduce fluid velocity can have a substantial affect on wear.

• Number of cycles - This has a much greater affect on SST Switch 3D gun wear than number of gallons. If you can do the same job with fewer on/off cycles, the SST Switch 3D Gun will last longer.

• Speed of actuation - Opening and closing the internal valves quickly will increase rod shutoff valve and seat life.

Recycling and Disposal

End of Product Life

At the end of the product’s useful life, dismantle and recycle it in a responsible manner.

• Perform the

Pressure Relief Procedure , Page 12

• Drain and dispose of fluids according to applicable regulations. Refer to the material manufacturer’s

Safety Data Sheet.

• Remove circuit boards, and other electronic components. Recycle according to applicable regulations.

• Deliver remaining product to a recycling facility.

Testing Before Installation

If the SST Switch 3D Gun has been assembled after a major repair or maintenance operation, it is recommended to perform a function test before the SST

Switch 3D Gun is returned to production.

A minimum level of function test is to connect the compressed air supply and check for air leakage by opening each of the solenoid valves (613) manually.

The cable connections can be checked using an

Ohm-meter to test the connections from the plug to the terminals and to make sure that there are no short-circuits.

Repair

If the SST Switch 3D Gun is tested offline with material pressure applied, to avoid skin injection always keep clear of the nozzles when test spraying.

Make a last check on all assembly screws and then follow the

Installation instructions on page 8 to mount

the SST Switch 3D Gun on the robot.
