2.4 Correct Use
The VMS-05 Hand Dosing Valve is suitable for the application of media such as sealants, adhesives, greases, pastes and oils. Under no circumstance will aggressive media be processed! In case of doubt, please
contact the manufacturer if a certain medium is suitable for this device.
The VMS-05 Special Design valve is a needle valve and will be used for processing materials which can be
sprayed in continuous or intermitting operation. Under no circumstances shall aggressive media such as
acids, alkaline solutions, detergents, chemicals or others be sprayed. If you are not sure, please contact the
manufacturer if a certain spray medium is suitable for this device.
2.5 Incorrect Use
Operating the incomplete device with insufficient knowledge about the operation, maintenance and care
of the device.
Making changes, extensions or alterations on the incomplete device that may hamper its safety without
the prior consent of Walther Systemtechnik GmbH.
Operating the incomplete device with defective safety installations or not properly attached or malfunc-
tioning safety devices.
Using unsuitable materials.
Handling the incomplete device while energized
2.6 Qualifications of Personnel
Only trained and instructed personnel may conduct work on the equipment.
The responsibilities of the personnel for assembly work, operation, repair work or maintenance work must be
clearly assigned to individuals!
Persons in training may work with the equipment only under supervision of an experienced person.
The use of other media can cause functional failures, damages or even the destruction
of the device.
3 Transport
3.1 Packaging
The type of packaging depends on the individual mode of shipping. If not separately contracted, the
packaging is in accordance with the rules and regulations of Walther Systemtechnik GmbH. This rule is in
accordance with the Federal Association for Packaging HPE.
3.2 Tasks before Transport
The following has to be done before transport:
Disconnect all power lines.
The actual transport of the incomplete device and its individual parts requires special care in order to prevent
damages from external forceful impact or careless on- and off-loading. Depending on the mode of
transportation, suitable transport and load securing has to be selected. The incomplete device will be aligned
and leveled by appropriate fastening elements.
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.
