Introduction 1
1 Introduction
1.1 Overview
The Single-Axis Automatic Tilt Mechanism is designed for use with Nordson ASYMTEK’s S-9XX or
S2-9XX Series Dispensing Systems configured with DJ or DV Series Valves. This feature tilts the valve to
allow for easier dispensing on the side of components.
This manual describes the software setup, hardware setup, and operation of the tilt mechanism. Refer to
the applicable valve manual for detailed instructions on valve operation.
1.2 System Requirements
Dispensing System:
Spectrum S-9XX or S2-9XX Series Dispensing Systems
Dispensing Valve: Any DispenseJet (DJ-series) or DV-series valves. For other valve
types, contact Nordson ASYMTEK.
Software:
Fluidmove

2 Introduction
Figure 1-3 Tilt Bulkhead
Figure 1-4 Mini Service Station Mounted on Rear Conveyor Rail
1.4 Supported Dispensing Valves
The following Nordson ASYMTEK valves are supported for use with the tilt feature:
•DJ-9500
•DJ-2100 (with 90 degree dovetail adapter bracket)
•DV-7000 and DV-8000
•Legacy DV valves
The following Nordson ASYMTEK valves are not supported:
•DP-3000
•NexJet
•DJ-100
•SV-100

Introduction 3
1.5 Theory of Operation
The Single-Axis Automatic Tilt Mechanism can tilt the dispensing valve in one of the following positions:
•Vertical
•Counterclockwise (CCW)
•Clockwise (CW)
The tilt angle can be adjusted 10, 20 or 30 degrees.
The tilt bracket can be mounted in two ways:
•Front and rear tilt
•Right and left tilt
The tilt bracket is driven by a three position air cylinder, where the top port controls whether a center stop
is enabled or not. In order for the cylinder to reach the center position, the top and bottom ports must be
energized at the same time. To create the proper center holding force, the air pressure on the top port
must be about twice as much as the pressure on the bottom port. To create this pressure difference,
there is a small regulator mounted on the left side of the bulkhead. This regulator should be set to 40 psi.
The angle of tilt is determined by where the stops are located. After the tilt system has been set up, the
user is able to select a tilt direction in the Fluidmove software. After setting a tilt angle instruction in
Fluidmove, all subsequent instructions are performed at the specified tilt until a new tilt instruction is
added. See 4.5 Creating a Program with Tilt.
