1.5 Usage

The Loctite®Dispense Valve is a slim, lightweight, and user-friendly valve that contains a “suck­back” feature that eliminates product dripping and stringing at the end of the dispense cycle.
It also features a two-part, modular construction for on-line serviceability.
The Dispense Valve applies Loctite
®
products in dots, drops, and beads by the process means of semi or fully automatic systems. The valve can be used in both stationary or advancing modes.
Recommended viscosity ranges: 97113 – up to 15,000 cPs
97114 – up to 80,000 cPs

2.2 Theory of Operation

An uncovered bottle of Loctite®product is placed directly into the reservoir and the reservoir lid is clamped in place.
The reservoir is then pressurized from a Loctite controller using clean, filtered dry air. Air within the reservoir will push down on the liquid in the bottle and force it through the product feedline to the shutoff valve.
The amount of product dispensed is controlled by 3 main factors:
1. Amount of pressure in the reservoir.
2. Length of time the shutoff valve remains open.
3. Dispensing needle size.
With the closing of the piston in the Dispensing Valve, a negative pressure (suck-back effect) is produced that prevents the product from continuing to run or drip out of the dispensing needle 1. This suck-back effect can be changed by adjusting the piston stroke with the adjustment knob 10.
The main purpose of the adjusting knob is to control the amount of suck-back. There is a small amount of flow control in the first 1/2 turn of the adjusting knob - after that point, the adjusting knob only controls the suck-back effect.
The opening and closing of the Dispense Valve 97113 / 97114 are influenced by the speed with which the pressurized air can escape from the double action actuator assembly.
The opening speed of the dispensing valve can be changed with the air outlet choke 8.
The closing speed of the dispensing valve can be changed with the air outlet choke 9.
With the changing of the opening and closing speed for the Dispensing Valve, the dispensed quantity is also changed.

4.1 Installing the Anti-Bubbler to .5 liter and 2 liter Reservoirs

Anti-bubbler
The anti-bubbler is inserted at the end of the feedtube which resides in the product reservoir. The purpose of the anti-bubbler is to minimize the amount of adhesive which will run out of the feedtube when the reservoir lid is removed to re-fill the product reservoir.
A. Anti-bubbler Installation - 1/4" Feedtube
Install spring guard, fitting nut, and ferrule onto the feedline. Insert feedline into fitting located in reservoir lid. Insert anti-bubbler into anti-bubbler connection sleeve. Push anti-bubbler connection sleeve onto 1/4" feedline. Position feedline so that the anti-bubbler is close to the bottom of the adhesive bottle.

5. Dispensing

5.1 Priming the Dispensing Valve

To avoid air bubbles during dispensing, the product line must be filled and then purged of air. The dispensing valve must be very carefully purged of air to achieve error-free dispensing.
• To fill the product line, hold the dispensing valve slanted upward so that no air will be trapped
inside the valve chamber.
• Slide the silicone tubing provided over the dispensing needle.
• Bend the silicone tubing downward to avoid uncontrolled
squirting of the product.
• Place a container under the dispensing valve since the product
will flow out.
• Perform the filling of the product feedline according to the operating
instructions of the various Controllers.

5.2 Adjusting the Dispensed Quantity

Before the dispensing quantity is adjusted, the stroke of the shutoff piston should be adjusted on the Dispensing Valve. With the changing of the piston stroke, the dispensed quantity is also changed for the same dispensing pressure.
The opening and closing speed of the dispensing valve can be changed with the air outlet chokes. With the changing of the opening and closing speed for the dispensing valve, the dispensed quantity is also changed.

5.2.1 Adjusting the Suck-Back Effect (Piston Stroke)

The piston stroke should be adjusted so that the product no longer drips out of the dispensing needle.
The product must not be sucked back too far since, when using cyanoacrylates, curing can occur in the needle and valve and cause malfunction.
• Initiate a time-controlled dispensing start (approx.
0.50 sec. long). When necessary, change the piston stroke with the adjustment knob 10:
Product drips:
– Turn the adjustment knob in the + direction.
The piston stroke (suck-back effect) is increased.
Product dispensing is delayed after a start:
– Turn the adjustment knob in the – direction.
• Perform the adjustment of the dispensed quantity according to the operating instructions of the
various Controllers.

5. Dispensing (continued)

5.2.2 Adjusting the Air Outlet Chokes

For most dispensing tasks, the air outlet chokes should be completely open. The air outlet chokes must be adjusted when:
– Very low viscosity (thin bodied) adhesive is dispensed or: – An extremely exact point or bead application is required.
Adjustment of the air outlet chokes
The air outlet chokes are provided to slow the actuation speed of the valve. The air outlet chokes, used on this valve, allows air to free flow into the actuator and controls the rate at which the exhaust air is metered out of the actuator. Refrerring to Figure 1 the air outlet choke 8 allows pressurized air into the actuator, which shuts off product flow. Air outlet choke 9 allows air into the actuator to open the valve thus allowing product to flow through the valve.
For most applications the air chokes should be set for maximum airflow. Maximum flow is achieved by turning the adjustment screw all the way in a counterclockwise direction.
For bead dispensing it may be helpful to open the valve slower to improve bead consistence from start to finish. This is done by:
1. Locate air choke 8.
2. Turn adjustment screw all the way in a clockwise direction.
3. Turn adjustment screw one or two revolutions in the counterclockwise direction.
4. Actuate the valve and observe speed at which the valve opens.
5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 until valve is operating at desired speed.
For dispensing acrylic adhesive slowing the shut off speed of the valve may reduce micro bubbles from forming within the product chamber of the valve. This is done by:
1. Locate air choke 9.
2. Turn adjustment screw all the way in a clockwise direction.
3. Turn adjustment screw one or two revolutions in the counterclockwise direction.
4. Actuate the valve and observe speed at which the valve opens.
5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 until valve is operating at desired speed.

5.3 Shutdown

• To protect anaerobic products from curing, remove needle leaving Luer-Lok adapter exposed
to air.
• To protect all other products from curing, place a protective cap on the dispensing needle.
• If for some reason the product being dispensed changes, contact your local salesperson for
the recommended procedures.

5.4 Returning to Operation

• Remove the protective cap from the dispensing needle.
• If needed, purge the product feedline and dispensing valve of air (see Section 5.1).
Returning to Operation After Longer Periods of Non-use
• Remove the Luer-Lok tip cap.
• Purge the product feedline and dispensing valve of air (see Section 5.1).
• Perform the adjustment of the dispensing quantity according to Section 5.2.

5.5 Disassembling the Dispensing Valve

To replace the valve assembly or the actuator assembly, the bayonet lock of the dispensing valve can easily be opened.
• Loosen the locking nut 6, turn the valve assembly 4 by 90° counterclockwise and pull out.
• Reassemble the dispensing valve with the replaced part in the reverse order. In this case,
there must not be any pneumatic pressure on the actuator.
Tighten the locking nut not only hand tight, but also lightly with a wrench.
