Helpful Hints
– Pressure, Speed, Time and Tip Size control deposit size.
Experiment with all four variables to determine ideal application.
– Always use largest possible gauge tip to achieve your deposit size.
– Taper tips drastically reduce the amount of fluid pressure required to
dispense thicker materials.
– As a rule of thumb, the tip should be the diameter of your deposit
size from the substrate. This may change depending upon fluid
pressures and viscosity of the material being dispensed.
– Never dispense a two-part material through an EFD valve. Always
premix your material and load and dispense directly from EFD
syringe barrels.
– When making small dots, try using different retract heights and
speeds. This can often yield much better results.
– When adjusting pressure with regulators, always reduce the pres-
sure below the desired range before turning the pressure back up.
– Change tips as often as possible; material can cure inside the tips
and reduce flow. Changing pressure to compensate for reduced
flow is the least reliable method to compensate for flow reduction.
– Locate a point or mark on your part that you can use to orient the tip
to when creating a new tip offset.
– Always consider safety when working around automated equipment.
– Remove the shipping bolt on top right-hand corner of Z-plate.
