Fluid Plate Assembly Overview
Fluid Plate Components
The fluid plate assembly in F
IG
. 5 can be attached to an
automation arm or mounted on a pedestal. The main
components of the fluid plate assembly include:
• Fluid regulator (cartridge, ambient mastic, or heated
mastic) (P).
• Flow meter (R) (optional) precisely measures the
flow rate of fluid dispensed.
• Solenoid air valve (S) controls the dispense valve.
• Voltage to Pressure Transducer (T), abbreviated V/P
transducer, adjusts the air pressure to the fluid regu-
lator (P).
• Fluid Control Module (FCM) (U) receives pulse read-
ings from the flow meter (R) and pressure readings
from the regulator. It also controls the fluid regulator
(P) and solenoid air valve (S).
The PCF fluid regulator is electrically controlled by the
PCF fluid control module. Consistent material flow is
assured by a closed-loop pressure or closed-loop flow
control design. The module responds to automa-
tion-supplied signals to provide an accurate and consis-
tent output flow based on a comparison of actual to
desired flow rates. The fluid regulator uses air pressure
to control fluid pressure and to provide fast response to
electronic commands and ensure a precisely controlled,
continuous flow of material.
The fluid plate assembly is available in two versions:
ambient and heated.
Ambient Fluid Plate Assembly
There are four ambient versions available:
• cartridge regulator without a flow meter;
• ambient mastic regulator without a flow meter;
• cartridge regulator with a high resolution meter;
• ambient mastic regulator with a high resolution
meter;
• cartridge regulator with an ultra high resolution
flow meter.
Heated Fluid Plate Assembly
There are two heated versions available:
• heated mastic fluid regulator with a heated flow
meter,
• and a heated mastic fluid regulator without a
flow meter.
