Worried about operating complexities? GDS Automation’s adhesive dispensers simplify precision bonding with intuitive workflows. Follow this professional guide to maximize efficiency and equipment longevity.

1. Preparing Your Dispenser & Workspace‌

Safety First:‌

Power off the dispenser and depressurize compressed air lines before any operation to prevent accidental activation‌.

Wear heat-resistant gloves when handling nozzles or barrels if dispensing thermosetting adhesives‌.

Clear debris from the dispensing area using unidirectional swipes—avoid back-and-forth motions that spread residue‌.

Material Readiness:‌

Store adhesives per manufacturer specs (temperature/humidity) to prevent premature curing‌.

2. Filling Adhesive: System-Specific Methods‌

Barrel Feeding System (Most Common):‌

① Release compressed air pressure fully.

② Unscrew the barrel housing and insert a new adhesive cartridge.

③ Repressurize gradually to avoid bubble formation.

AB Glue or Pump-Metered Systems:‌

Connect adhesive supply lines to designated inlets.

Prime pumps until adhesive flows uniformly through nozzles‌.

3. Controlling Dispensing Operations‌

Manual Mode:‌

Use the physical trigger/button for spot applications or prototyping.

Automated Mode:‌

Program start/stop cycles via the control panel for batch production.

Integrate with PLC systems for synchronized assembly lines.

4. Programming Dispensing Paths‌

① Access the programming interface (touchscreen or software).

② Set waypoint coordinates for the dispensing head’s route.

③ Adjust parameters:

- ‌Speed:‌ Slower = thicker beads; faster = finer lines.

- ‌Z-axis height:‌ Maintain 1–3 mm above substrates for consistency.

④ Save the profile for repeat tasks.

5. Adjusting Dispensing Volume‌

Fine-tune output using three levers:

Nozzle Size:‌ Larger apertures increase flow rate.

Air Pressure:‌ Higher pressure (typically 40–80 PSI) boosts volume; calibrate using test runs.

Head Speed:‌ Reduce speed for heavier deposits‌.

6. Maintenance & Longevity Protocols‌

Post-Use Cleaning:‌

Flush residues with manufacturer-approved solvents within 5 minutes of shutdown‌.

Wipe nozzles unidirectionally; never scrub back-and-forth‌.

Preventive Measures:‌

Store adhesives below 25°C to delay curing‌.

Inspect seals monthly—replace if cracked.

Lubricate moving parts quarterly with high-temp grease.

Critical Safety Reminders‌

‌Heat Hazard:‌ Never touch nozzles during/after operation—maintain 15 cm clearance‌.

Electrical Safety:‌ Only trained professionals should service internal components‌.

Chemical Handling:‌ Use VOC-rated respirators in poorly ventilated areas‌.
