SECTION 1 - INTRODUCTION

SECTION 1 - INTRODUCTIONSECTION 1 - INTRODUCTION

Valco Cincinnati has prepared this manual as an aid for installing, operating, and servicing the MCP-25 control. It also contains a list of part numbers for replacement parts. If you need more information, please contact your Valco Cincinnati representative.

Description of the MCP-25 Control

The MCP-25 is a modular microprocessor control system. It is designed to allow users to easily program multiple and complex glue patterns. The controll is capable of operating a combination of different styles and types of glue valves and dispensing systems.

Programs or program changes may be made “on-the-fly” with the results immediately occurring on the product. The system maintains precision through machine speeds up to 2000 m/min. (6500 ft./min.).

With user-friendly, multi-language software, valve outputs can be individually compensated and assigned to a selection of scanner and encoder inputs. A 2-channel pressure output with programmable curve and integrated bypass functions interfaces with the most complex adhesive delivery systems.

The MCP-25 offers unequaled flexibility and performance for the most demanding adhesive dispensing applications.

• If the control is in the selection button activates the valve. The valve is active as long as the valve button is pressed. Manual mode can be selected during production (the control will continue to apply glue patterns). Valves can be activated by pressing and holding the valve-selection button.The green LED illuminates to indicate that the valve is activated.

• If the control is in the selection button causes the programmed glue-pattern information to be sent to the valve(s) selected. Pressing the valve-selection button a second time will turn off the selected valve(s).

• The valve-selection buttons have a special function when copying a glue pattern in the “glue-pattern-edit menu.” A glue pattern can be copied to a valve by selecting a valveselection button with a blinking light.

Valve-selection button LEDs:

LED off = Valve has not been selected. LED green = Valve has been selected. LED red = Fault indicator. Check the fuse, voltage, etc.

Mechanical

Installation of the

Encoder

The product scanner should be installed to detect the leading edge of the carton. Up to four product scanners can be installed. A fifth scanner for the encoder start signal can also be installed. The spacing between scanner and valve should not be too small. For example, the spacing for a slow valve with a turn-on reaction time of Ton = 10 ms depends on the parent machine speed:

– 300 m/min = 50 mm – 900 m/min = 150 mm – 1800 m/min = 300 mm

The exact spacing in [mm] calculation:

Vmax [m] · Ton [ms]

Δ 1 =

A Valco VCE encoder, Valco VLD encoder, type 85 encoder, or type 30 encoder can be used with the control. One (1) encoder can be installed. A 1:1 ratio (1 impluse = 1 mm) between product travel and encoder impulse output is preferred. A ratio of less than 1:1 (1 impulse = more than 1 mm) should not be used because it will be less accurate. Product travel/impulse ratio can be set in the “Setup menu.” (See encoder impulses per length traveled, maximum velocity, and direction recognition.)

60 [s]

; [mm]

Section 11—Setup Menu

The direction recognition function cannot be used with a VCE encoder.

for details about

The encoder should be installed so that it is synchronized exactly with the machine speed. Ensure that the connection between the encoder and the machine is secure and will not slip.

The contol can accept values in either metric (millimeter) or imperial (inch) measurements. This configuration should be selected when the unit is initially installed (see “Setup menu”). Changing the measuring units after job information has been stored in the control may change the job values. The control does not calculate anything except encoder setup.

In the continuous gluing mode, gluing is activated or deactivated using the Vmin minimum-speed setting. This mode is Vmin dependent—the valve turns on when the parent machine operates above the minimum-speed setting, and turns off when the parent machine operates below the minimum-speed setting. This mode is particularily useful for continuous-glue application.

Stitch mode is used for discontinuous lines. This mode is useful for economical application of long lines of glue. It allows different input possibility of bead length and gap length. Intermittent gluing is also possible. The control will then take into account that each pattern ends with applied glue (not with a gap). It can cause the gap to deviate slightly from the entered value.

Tmin—The minimum valve-specific time that is necessary for the valve

TminTmin

to open. Minimum duration that the valve will be forced to stay open. This function is used if the combination of Ton and Toff times produce glue patterns that are too short. The Tmin time allows the valve to stay open for a minimum period of time (0.125 milliseconds). This function may override the Toff time.

CFCF

CF—Correction factor. This function adapts individual valves to

variations in parent machine speed (50-150%). The correction factor can be used where valves are placed on a section of the parent machine which experiences variations in web speed. The correction factor can also be used to adjust the placement of the glue pattern. (See “Operation.”)

This factor is for valve timing correction. Do not use this factor as a general ratio compensation. See “Encoder configuration” in this section for information about a general ratio compensation.

VminVmin

Vmin—Parent machine threshold speed. Gluing will begin above this

speed and stop when the parent machine is operated below this speed. The manual valve function (MAN test function) is not affected by Vmin. Separate Vmin speeds can be set for each valve.

The ratio should be as close to 1:1 as possible. If this ratio is obtained, the control can operate at speeds up to 6500 feet/min (2000 m/min). Since the accuracy of the control amounts to 1 impulse or less, the maximum possible deviation is therefore 1 mm or less. This accuracy can be increased if the resolution of the encoder is less than 1 mm (one encoder impulse corresponds to less than 1 mm of product travel). However, the maximum possible speed (Vmax) required with this accuracy equally reduces the ratio. The Vmax parameter and the resolution change automatically.

are to be used for cold-glue systems only. OTHERWISE, DAMAGE TO EQUIPMENT COULD OCCUR.

Daily Maintenance

A-1Valco Cincinnati, Inc.

Weekly

Actions Date Shift Initials

1. Clean the glue filter thoroughly with water.

2. For electric-coil non-contact valves only— disassemble the fluid section of the glue valve, and clean the section thoroughly with water.

3. If you are using a 585 valve, replac e the valve spring.

4. For non-contact valves only—lubricate the valve with Teflon oil (supplied with maintenance kit).

5. Reassemble the fluid section.

6. Using the 3-way purge valve on the output of the glue filter, purge all air from the system.

7. Purge each valve in the system. (Approximately 12 ounces of glue should be purged for proper glue flow.)

8. Check for any glue leakage on the needle seat. Replace the needle/plunger assembly and s eat if leaks or dripping occurs.

9. For non-contact valves only—Apply a small amount of lithium grease to the nozzle seat area before attaching the retaining nut.

10. Check all quick-disconnect fittings for any dried glue or swelling that may restrict the glue flow.

11. Lubr icate eac h quick-disconnect fitting with lithium grease or equivalent.
