WARNINGS
The Ultra TT Series is designed for semi-automated fluid dispensing onto assembly
parts. Users should always use appropriate personal protective gear as indicated
by fluid manufacturer.
This product is heavy and should only be moved with assistance. Always follow
safe lifting practices and lift with your legs, not your back. Handles can be
attached to the machine's T-slots located on the side of the machine. This will
provide for a more secure grip when moving the machine.
Remove shipping bolt (located at the top right-hand corner of the Z-plate) before
operating the machine. Failure to do so may result in machine damage.
Never place your hand beneath the dispensing tip or any moving actuator during
operation, as automatic movement can occur and may cause serious personal
injury.
Please read all safety warnings prior to handling equipment or the dispensing fluid.
Equipment should be stored in a clean, dry environment, preferably in original
shipping container.

This machine emits a maximum of 63 dBA of noise from the rear of the machine.
Note that this is well within safe noise levels for operators.
Never move or ship the unit with the tooling plate attached to the Y-Axis. The
added weight will cause damage during shipment! All axes must be secured in
place prior to shipping. Not doing so will cause damage to the equipment.
Provide maintenance in strict compliance with procedures set forth in this guide.
Never try to perform maintenance on a machine while it is running. Doing so could
cause serious injury.
Periodic preventive maintenance will be required.
1. Annually, apply a light coat of grease on the cable and linear motion guides.
2. Cables should also be tensioned on an annual basis.
See Section 10 for details
All positive pneumatic energy is removed from the system at both power-down
(turning off the main circuit breaker) and during EMO (Emergency Machine Off)
conditions. The Ultra TT maintains a vacuum in order to hold a column of fluid
inside EFD barrel syringes. This is designed as a safeguard to prevent low
viscosity fluid from being discharged at power-down or during EMO conditions.
Laser-equipped Ultra TT system is classified as a Class II
laser product. Please attach the appropriate warning label
that is shipped with your laser module onto the machine.
The warning label should read “LASER RADIATION
PRESENT. DO NOT STARE INTO BEAM”.

11. Block, chain or release stored energy sources.
12. Always unplug the machine and disconnect the main airline to the system before
opening any panels for service. Once the machine has been disconnected from
power and air, the electric cord and airline must remain in sight of the individual
performing maintenance. This is to prevent accidental start-up of any energy
sources.
ii. OPERATOR HAZARD TRAINING
Operators and technicians should know the closest location of the following safety related
items in your facility:
• Emergency Exits
• Emergency Telephone
• Eye-Wash Station
• Fire Extinguisher
• First Aid Station
• MSDS Station
In the event of an emergency or malfunction, press the Emergency Machine Off (EMO)
button. The EMO is the large red button located on the front panel of the dispensing
system. Activating the EMO vents all pressure in the pneumatic system, de-energizes the
servo power supply capacitors, and cuts power to all components. As a minimum, activate
the EMO in the following situations:
1. If anyone is in immediate danger of being injured by moving parts, hazardous
materials, or electrical shock.
2. If valuable dispensing system components or the work-pieces are in danger of
being damaged. This can include:
- Physical damage to the dispensing valve or work-piece by unexpected
Dispensing Head movement.
- Electrical damage to the dispensing system.
If an injury occurs during operation or servicing of the System, it is recommended that the
following steps be taken:
1. If the dispensing system is operating when the injury occurs, press the nearest
EMO button to stop all system operations.
2. Immediately report injury to supervisor in accordance with facility procedures.
3. If it is an injury due to exposure to a hazardous material, refer to the treat
recommendations on the material manufacturer’s Material Safety Data Sheet
(MSDS).
4. Seek medical help if necessary.

1.2 MACHINE MOVEMENTS
The Ultra TT dispensing system uses an advanced microprocessor to simultaneously control three
axes of motion. An optical encoder feedback system provides closed-loop control to accurately
position the dispensing tip whether dispensing lines, dots or contoured paths.
The Ultra TT Automation system is a three-axis fluid
dispensing platform. The three degrees of freedom
provided are X/Y/Z. The motions are indicated in the figure
to the left.
The actual strokes of these axes vary depending on the
model. The X-axis movement is side to side. The Y-axis
movement is forward and backward, while the Z-axis
movement is up and down. The mechanical home is
determined by the location of each axes’ home sensor.
In the case of the Ultra TT, the home position is with the
X-axis to the left, Y-axis to the back and Z-axis is up.
1.3 A TYPICAL OPERATION
A typical operation is described below. Note that setup and programming procedures are not
included in the description.
• The part(s) is manually loaded and secured onto the tooling plate5.
• Operator activates the system by pressing the start button on the front of the machine.
• The dispensing head then moves to the programmed X/Y position and the height sensor
probe is lowered to establish the correct dispense height based upon the dot or line
parameter dispense gap. If the height sensor is disabled, then the dispensing head simply
moves to the preprogrammed dispense height.
• Fluid is dispensed onto the part, according to the pre-programmed dispensing pattern.
• Once the dispensing procedure is complete, the dispensing head will move back to its
preprogrammed park location.
• When the tooling plate returns to the park location, the completed part can now be
removed from the tooling plate.
• The process is then repeated.

2 Setup
2.1 Preparing the Work Area
Place the Ultra TT system on a stable table or bench. The Ultra TT needs enough space behind
the machine (at least 250mm) to allow for the tooling to move to its home position. This space
also ensures the fan duct on the back of the machine is not obstructed and thereby allows for air-
cooling of the internal electronics.
Allow enough room to place fluid reservoir pressure tank beside the machine. Fluid cartridges may
be mounted to the uprights using the M8 T-Slots on either side of the Ultra TT.
2.2 Main Air and Electrical
It is important that you have dry, clean filtered air that is aerosol free to prevent problems with the
pneumatic system of your new Ultra TT system. Input air should not be more than 100 psi. If you
have any doubts about your air supply, you should purchase one of the two filter regulator sets
listed below.
Main air input is located immediately to the left of the Fan Duct on the back panel of the machine
and accepts 6mm diameter tubing. Simply push the 6mm tubing into the push-fit connector.
Each unit is shipped with two power cords. Plug the appropriate power cord into the three-prong
power cord slot located on the back of the machine next to the main power circuit breaker. The
machine is equipped with a self-regulating power supply and will accept 100VAC ~ 240VAC +/- 10%,
50 ~ 60 Hz input voltage.

2.3 MOUNTING WORK-HOLDING FIXTURE
Use the four tapped (4) M4 holes on the Y-Carriage to mount your work-holding fixtures.
It is important your work-holding fixture is mounted on the Y-carriage in a manner that it is parallel
to the X-beam. Flatness of your fixture is important because it makes programming much easier.
The Ultra TT system is 3D-capable and can be programmed to compensate for changes in Z-Height
over the work envelope with the use of the built-in height sensor. However, invoking the built-in
height sensor continuously through a dispensing program will significantly reduce throughput.
EFD offers two versions of fixture plates that can be used with the Ultra TT system. When
dispensing onto low profile parts, it may be necessary to raise the fixture plate up so that the
part(s) is within reach of the dispense valve. Refer to Section 9 (Accessories) for more information.
2.4 CONNECTIONS ON THE Z-HEAD
P1 quick-connect is connected to the 100 psi channel used for valve
actuation and thicker fluids when using an EFD barrel reservoir. Line
pressure is adjusted using the regulator marked P1 on the front
panel.
P1 pressure on the front panel should be set to 70 psi when using
any EFD air-actuated valve.
P2 quick-connect is connected into the 30 psi channel used for valve
nozzle air on dual input valves and lower viscosity fluids when using
an EFD barrel. Line pressure is adjusted by using the regulator
marked P2 on the front panel.
When using a single air input valve, the P2 channel can be used to
adjust the fluid pressure reservoir if 30 psi is sufficient. If you require
more than 30 psi of fluid pressure, in situations where higher
viscosity materials are used, use the Aux Air connection instead.
Aux Air quick-connect is usually used to supply fluid pressure. It is
connected to the E-stop circuit. Fluid pressure will drop to 0 psi
during emergency stop situations. Resetting the E-Stop switch and
initializing the machine will return fluid pressure to normal.
To regulate to the required pressure for a barrel-supplied valve for
pressures in excess of 30 psi, use EFD barrel pressure regulator kit
(P/N 1117HTT) that attaches to the Z head with special mounting
hardware and connects to Aux Air.
18

The terminal blocks located on top of the Z-
Head provide the connections needed to drive
Auger valves, height sensors, laser pointers and
auxiliary sensors.
Note: The height sensor has been pre-wired for
your convenience.

2.5 VALVE/SYRINGE BARREL CONNECTIONS
The following chart summarizes how different EFD valves/syringe barrels should be connected to
the Z-head. Note that if more than one valve/syringe barrel is required for the application, a separate
dispenser controller for each addition will be required.
The Ultra TT system is a self-contained fluid-dispensing positioning system. It features integrated
dispensing functions to operate any EFD valve or syringe barrel. The valve/syringe barrel attaches to
the Z-carriage with the appropriate mounting fixture, and all pneumatic lines plug into the EFD
quick-connect on the top of the Z-head.
Note: Your deposit size has a direct correlation to fluid pressure, time, tip size, dispense gap and
dispense speeds. To get desired results, you may need to experiment with different tip sizes,
dispense gaps, pressures and speeds.
It is important to review the material specification sheet of the fluid to be dispensed and ensure that
the proper personal protection equipment (such as footwear, gloves, etc.) is used with the type of
fluid dispensed.
The following chart summarizes how different EFD valves/syringe barrels should be connected to
the Z-head. Note that if more than one valve/syringe barrel is required for the application, a separate
dispenser controller for each addition will be required.
