4 Description of Function
4.1 Designated Purpose of the Incomplete Device
Standard
The VMS-05 Hand Dosing Valve was designed for the application of sealants, adhesives, greases, pastes
and oils. The selected nozzle defines the actual application. Depending on the viscosity of the medium to be
applied, the application result can be individually adjusted through the nozzle size, the material supply
pressure and the needle stroke. The medium will be supplied via a material connection. The VMS-05 hand
dosing valve is a high-precision device which will be a long-term reliable tool if the following notes are
observed.
Operating the micro-switch (15) sends an electric impulse to a pilot valve (not included in scope of delivery).
This pilot valve will then send an air impulse to the Dosing Valve which will start the spraying process.
A pilot valve can come as magnetic valve. Is this the case, the Dosing Valve will spray as long as the microswitch is pushed.
A pilot valve can also come as a time-control. In this case, the Dosing Valve will spray according to the preset time, and the micro-switch does not have to be pushed constantly.
Special Design
Due to their low weight and a very compact design, the valves of the VMS-05 Special Design series MV
LV/KV are ideally suitable for all applications with only little space for installation in machines or robots.
Using LV-nozzles (long versions) allows you to install the devices with an incline towards each other, but not
much more mounting space is required. The valves are predominantly used for the application of sealants,
adhesives and oils. Depending on the nozzle size, media with different viscosities can be processed. The
VMS-05 Special Design MV LV/KV valves are high-precision devices which will be a long-term reliable tool
if the following notes are observed.
The valve is a pneumatically controlled application device for processing materials such as sealants,
adhesives, greases, paints, oils etc. A mutual application of air on the working piston results in opening and
closing of the nozzle needle. When the control air is turned off or fails, the spring closes the nozzle needle.
The spraying medium is supplied from a pressured container or a pump. The valve operates with a full jet.
Connect the VMS-05 Hand Dosing Valve with a pressured container or a pump via the material connection
(4). Connect the micro-switch (15) with a pilot valve (magnetic valve or time control or other). Adjust material
pressure at the pressured container or the pump (max. 20bar). When you now operate the micro-switch,
material will be discharged from the nozzle.
The VMS-05 Special Design valves can be installed in any position. The distance to the application area
depends on the desired application image.
An intermittent operation of the device will cause certain vibrations. Therefore make sure that the device is
safely and securely fixed and installed. The device comes with two borings of 5mm diameter in the valve
body which can be used for a solid installation. Try to avoid extremely large vibrations (transfer from
machines to valve).
5.2 Hose Mounting
Standard
Three functional hoses will connected as follows:
1. Control air (black) to plug-in nipple (open 7 SA)
2. Control air (black) to plug-in nipple (close 7 SZ)
3. Material (transparent) to 1/4"-connection (4)
Special Design
Two functional hoses will be connected as follows:
Do not turn the raster-needle locking screw any further counter-clockwise if no more
stops are noticeable while turning it! The maximum needle stroke adjustment has been
reached already.
Further turning will cause the raster-needle locking screw to jump out!!
IMPORTANT
Nozzle and needle can be damaged by wrong handling. Only decrease the material
flow (by a right turn of the regulating screw) if material spills out. Do not turn the regulating screw further to the right after the nozzle is closed!
Regulating screw
Regulating screw
Release button
5.3 Adjusting the Incomplete Device
Standard
The individual material quantity can be adjusted with the needle-stroke regulation (10, 11 or 12).
Functional Principle:
Turn the raster head/regulating spindle to the right: decrease the material quantity
Turn the raster head/regulating spindle to the left: increase the material quantity
Special Design
The amount of material can be regulated via the stroke adjustment of the needle. A left turn of the locking
screw increases the material amount. A fine precision thread affects a needle rise that results in an adjustment of 0.5 mm with each turn of the adjusting knob
Never point the jet at people. The wearing of eye protection is strongly recommended.
The spraying process can create noise depending on the air and fluid pressures used.
Ear protection should be worn, if required.
WARNING
Danger caused by flammable, harmful fluid. Always follow the safety instructions on the
container or the safety data sheet for the fluid.
IMPORTANT
Accident prevention directions will be strictly followed when applying high material
pressures. Please strictly follow the following instructions when planning and
constructing application systems.
IMPORTANT
The base for an optimum setting of the application image is a device-specific
adjustment. Basic values from lab tests can be used as references. However these
have to be adjusted individually. Parameters such as nozzle size, opening time,
opening stroke, material pressure and maybe also temperature have to be combined.
6 Operation
6.1 General Information
This device will only be operated if the safety-related equipment is permanently effective and not suspended
during operation or altered in its intended effectiveness.
6.2 Operation Instructions / Operating Conditions
The valves of the VMS-05 Special Design series generally operate with a control air pressure of 6 bar and
material pressures of up to 30 bar.
The valves are able to perform contact-applications or also contact-free applications. The valves can be
controlled for intermittent or continuous use. According to the individual application, the control air must be
adjusted to the operating cycles and to the higher or lower material pressures. 40 tacts per second can be
reached under appropriate operating conditions (material pressure, control air pressure, needle stroke, and
short conductions).
The amount of material can be regulated via the stroke adjustment of the needle. A left turn of the locking
screw increases the material amount. A fine precision thread affects a needle rise that results in an adjustment of 0.5 mm with each turn of the adjusting knob.
For longer times of standstill, the material can remain in the valve, if it remains under pressure (no contact to
outside air).
Before starting any maintenance or repair work, ensure that all air-operated tools are
depressurized and disconnected from the air supply.
Before opening the dosing pen it must be disconnected from the air and fluid supply.
Otherwise, ejected components can cause injuries.
IMPORTANT
Only use soft brushes for outside cleaning of the nozzle tips. Never use metal tools
with sharp edges.
CAUTION
First depressurize all connections.
8 Maintenance and Repair
8.1 General Information
The valves of the VMS-05 series are high-quality precision devices which will not fail if treated correctly and
will operate almost maintenance-free. Always keep clean and observe minimum instructions to maintain a
long life of the valve. Always use clean and filtered material only. The control air must also be clean and
should be slightly oiled, if necessary. Maintenance also depends on the individual operating conditions and
the type of media used.
8.2 Cleaning
Wash equipment thoroughly after use to remove residues and dirt, especially if nozzle needle, sealing
bushing or nozzle have to be exchanged.
Use the thinner for sprayable media as detergent. A daily cleansing rinse will remove residues of the
sprayable medium and clean almost all parts and channels which have been in contact with the sprayable
medium.
8.3 Replacing Needle and Nozzle
Standard Needle (8) and Nozzle (1)
First unscrew screws (14) and then remove valve from device body (13). Completely unscrew needle lock
(10, 11 or 12). Unscrew nozzle (1). From the nozzle side, carefully push out needle (8) to the back. Reassemble with slightly greased new parts in reverse order. We do not recommend reusing old needles.
Piercing of slightly dirty needles through the needle gaskets (pos. 5.1) can cause leakages.
Special Design Needle (7.10) and Nozzle (2.10)
Completely unscrew raster-needle lock (pos. 9.02) and nozzle (pos. 2.10). Remove needle spring (8.10) and
carefully push out the needle (pos. 7.10) towards the nozzle end. Re-assemble with slightly greased new
parts in reverse order. We do not recommend reusing old needles. Piercing of slightly dirty needles through
the needle gaskets (pos. 5.50) can cause leakages.
Gaskets and gasket holders can be damaged.
Do not use any sharp or pointed metallic implements for inserting the sealings!
8.4 Replacing the Sealing Bushing
Standard Sealing Bushing (6)
Unscrew screws (14) and remove valve from device body (13). Completely unscrew needle lock (pos. 10, 11
or 12) and nozzle (pos. 1). Carefully push out the needle (pos. 8) towards the nozzle end. Then unscrew the
sealing sleeve (pos. 6.0.0) from the thread with a screwdriver. Since the outer O-ring (pos. 5.3) prevents the
sealing sleeve from falling through the mounting thread of the valve body (pos. 3), it is necessary to push the
sealing sleeve together with O-ring (pos. 5.3) carefully backwards through the thread using a thin strip of
metal (0.5 – 1.0 mm) which you push between the recess in the body and flat in front of the front end of the
sealing sleeve. You can then take the sealing sleeve out of the enclosure.
Special Design Sealing Bushing (6.00)
Completely unscrew raster-needle lock (pos. 9.02) and nozzle (pos. 2.10). Carefully push out the needle
(pos. 7.10) towards the nozzle end. Then unscrew the sealing sleeve (pos. 6.00) from the thread with a
screwdriver. Since the outer O-ring (pos. 5.30) prevents the sealing sleeve from falling through the mounting
thread of the valve body (pos. 4.10), it is necessary to push the sealing sleeve together with O-ring (pos.
5.30) carefully backwards through the thread using a thin strip of metal (0.5 – 1.0 mm) which you push
between the recess in the body and flat in front of the front end of the sealing sleeve. You can then take the
sealing sleeve out of the enclosure.
8.5 Inserting Sealings and O-Rings
Standard
If a complete packing sleeve (pos. 6) is not available as a replacement, the old gaskets must be removed
and replaced with new ones. In order to do so, the sealing sleeve must be thoroughly cleaned so that no
particles of the previous spraying fluid impair the installation of the new gaskets. The O-ring seats should be
lightly greased with a lubricant (technical Vaseline). First insert O-ring (pos. 6.2) into the rear hole of the
sealing sleeve until it reaches the end. Then insert O-ring (pos. 5.3) into the outer groove. Insert the special
form gasket (pos. 5.1) into the front seat. Since this form gasket is not symmetrical, the side with the larger
boring must be inserted facing forwards, i.e. it must point in the direction of the nozzle after the complete
sealing sleeve has been installed. Lightly grease the sealing sleeve (pos. 6) and insert it back into the valve
body (pos. 3). Use a screwdriver to carefully push it through the mounting thread together with the outer Oring (pos. 5.3) without twisting it. Then screw the sealing sleeve into the thread (gently tighten).
Do not use any metallic or sharp-edged aids or tools when you insert the O-rings and the form gasket. Despite all its outstanding sealing qualities, the form gasket is a sensitive precision component, which cannot
tolerate impacts or pressure.
Special Design
If a complete packing sleeve (pos. 6.00) with integrated material sealing set (5.00) is not available as a replacement, the old gaskets must be removed and replaced with new ones. In order to do so, the sealing
sleeve must be thoroughly cleaned so that no particles of the previous spraying fluid impair the installation of
the new gaskets. The O-ring seats should be lightly greased with a lubricant (technical Vaseline). First insert
O-ring (pos. 6.20) into the rear hole of the packing sleeve until it reaches the end. Then insert O-ring (pos.
5.30) into the outer groove. Insert the special form gasket (pos. 5.50) into the front seat. Since this form gasket is not symmetrical, the side with the larger boring must be inserted facing forwards, i.e. it must point in
the direction of the nozzle after the complete packing sleeve has been installed. Lightly grease the sealing
sleeve (pos. 6.00) and insert it back into the valve body (pos. 4.10). Use a screwdriver to carefully push it
through the mounting thread together with the outer O-ring (pos. 5.3.0) without twisting it. Then screw the
sealing sleeve into the thread (gently tighten).
Do not use any metallic or sharp-edged aids or tools when you insert the O-rings and the special form
gasket. Despite all its outstanding sealing qualities, the special form gasket is a sensitive precision
component, which cannot tolerate impacts or pressure.
