2 - Technical information 5
COROBTM D300 has the following structural main assemblies:
The upper frame
The upper frame consists of following units:
1. Rack for canisters
2. Colourant canisters
3. Dispensing module
4. Valves
The rack for canisters is a frame for all sixteen
of the COROBTM D300 colourant canisters.
COROBTM D300 has sixteen canisters, at most, in
the colourant canister assembly. The
capacity of each canister is either four or six litres.
Normally there are eight four-litre canisters in front
and eight six-litre canisters at the back of the rack.
Every colourant canister has a stirring motor, which moves the impeller inside the canister in
the bottom section of the canister. The automatic, regular stirring of colourants is explained in the
section “Automatic stirring” on page 20.
The dispensing module is in front of the upper frame. The dispensing motor, power supply,
control boards, nozzle and cap for humidifying, pumps and valves are located in the dispensing
module.

COROBTM D300
2.4 Operating principles
Before dispensing, place a base paint can on the can table and lift up the table with the pedal. For
more information about the can table see “Using the can table” on page 17.
You can also get COROBTM D300 with a manual puncher to make a hole in the can’s lid. Normally
the puncher handle is in upper the position and the blade is out of sight on the right hand of the
nozzle. To make a 50mm hole in a can lid pull the handle forwards. The blade turns below the
nozzles and moves downwards to make a hole in the lid. Raise the handle and the blade rises up.
During dispensing the colourant flows from the bottom of the canister along a hose to a pump in
the dispensing module. There is a pump for every colourant. The dispensing motor draws an
amount of colourant from the pump that is calculated by the dispensing instructions coming from
the computer. COROBTM D300 dispenses simultaneously from three pumps at most.
From the pump the colourant flows along a hose to the nozzle assembly. The nozzle has sixteen
holes, one for each colourant.
The COROBTM D300 is equipped with a nozzle humidifier cap that keeps the nozzle clean and the
environment moist enough. This way the colourants don’t dry in the nozzle. The humidifier cap
automatically turns away from the nozzle during dispensing. Maintenance of the cap is explained in
the section “Daily attention” on page 18.
After dispensing, remove the paint can from the can table and place a plug into the hole or replace
the lid.
2.5 Automatic dispensing machine and computer
programmes
The automatic dispensing machine consists of a dispensing machine with a computer (PC), colour
monitor, keyboard and mouse. If the customer so wishes, the package may also include a label
printer or a colour indicator. The computer may be positioned on a separate table or in connection
with the dispensing machine. The computer is connected to COROBTM D300 by means of a serial
line cable.
The dispensing machine control system consists of three parts: 1) The user instructs the computer
as to which function or tint it should perform. 2) The computer searches its memory for the data
needed and forms performance instructions which are then sent to COROBTM D300. 3) COROBTM
D300's driver controls the dispensing machine's motors according to the sensor information and
instructions received from the computer.
The computer programmes can be used to tint according to predefined or customised
compositions. Command files are available for carrying out the daily cleaning operation.
The computer uses the Microsoft Windows user interface. The user can enter commands for the
desired function with the help of a formula management software and machine driver software.
Users must familiarise themselves with the dispensing machine's configuration and its
programmes before implementation, use, or the machine’s service.
The computer usually has the following programmes:
• a formula management programme, used to control tinting compositions and tinting
• a machine driver programme, used to perform machine commands and to ready command
files
These instructions refer in general to certain instructions for the above programmes, and give
instructions for use as well as service instructions from COROBTM D300's manufacturer.

6. When finished, close the canister lid.
COROBTM D300’s machine driver programme has a colourant control
that checks before tinting that there is enough colourant to execute
the tinting. If this control is activated and if there is not enough
colourant, the user is asked to fill the canister.
NOTE!: If this control is activated, enter the added amount of
colourant for each canister to the machine driver programme’s
colourant levels menu
=> the colourant counter stays up to date.
When filling the canister, be careful not to pour colorant on the top of
the impeller (see figure 8-14). Also, leave the upper paddle of the
impeller free. The canisters must be filled often enough - at least daily - to the same level, so that
the colorant does not dry on the canister’s walls.
8.4 Using the can table
Before tinting, the can table lifts the paint can against the back stop for punching and tinting. This
ensures that the colourants enter the can accurately.
Hydraulic can table
The COROBTM D300's can table can be lifted and
lowered with pedals, figure 8-15. Lifting is achieved
with the upper pedal, located under the table. Lift the
table by repeatedly pressing the upper pedal so high
that the can touches the upper stop. When you
steadily depress the lower pedal, the can table lock
releases and the table descends to the lower position.
The maximum dimensions for cans that will fit into
the can table are given below.
8.5 Punching a hole in the base paint can’s lid (optional)
The COROBTM D300 may be equipped with a punching mechanism to make a hole in the can’s lid.
You can punch the lid in the following manner:

8.7 Daily attention
8.7.1 Moistening the nozzles
COROBTM D300 has a moisture system that keeps the
nozzles moist and clean. The system consists of a
water reservoir, hoses and a humidifier cap.
The aquarium pump pumps air to the bottom of the
water reservoir. A hose transfers moist air from the
upper part of the canister to the nozzle.
The water reservoir is in front of the machine. The
minimum and maximum levels are marked on the side
of the bottle.
NOTE!: You can only use water in the reservoir!
Check daily that the water level in the reservoir is
above the required minimum.
The humidifier cap is under the nozzles and prevents colourants from drying out into the nozzles.
The cap consist of a plastic frame and a plastic cap with a foam plastic sponge.
The cap is opened that is turned automatically away to the side for tinting. The programme also
closes the cap automatically after tinting. You can also manually open and close the cap.
WARNING! Keep the handle in upper position. The moving mechanism may cause
personal injury.
WARNING! Punching blade may cause personal injury.
