Safety
Certain warning symbols are affixed to the system and correspond to notations in this
manual. Before operating the system, identify these warning labels and read the notices
described below. Not all labels may be used on any specific system.
Always wear approved safety glasses when you operate or work
near the workcell.
Before you operate the system, read and understand the manuals
provided with the unit.
Never put hands or tools in areas with this symbol when the
machine is in operation. A dangerous condition may exist.
Read and understand the manuals provided with the unit before
any repairs or maintenance is done. Only a qualified individual
should do service.
Use caution when there are pressurized vessels. Find and repair any
leaks immediately. Always wear appropriate safety equipment
when you work with pressurized vessels or vessels that contain
chemicals.
Shear hazard from moving parts. Avoid contact
Pinch hazard from moving parts. Avoid contact.
Do not remove protective guarding.

Personal Protective Equipment
Operators must use eye protection because material contents are under pressure.
Always wear gloves when handling materials and solvents. Refer to MSDS sheets on the
material being dispensed for other precautions.
Notices and Warnings
•Use safety glasses and long sleeved clothing when you work with automated
industrial equipment. Stay clear of all moving parts when the system is in operation.
•Read and understand all operating manuals before using this equipment.
•Do not disable the safety features of the system.
•Lock-out and tag-out the air supply before any service is done.
•Do not remove any hose, either air or fluid, without relieving the pressure.
•All replacement hoses must have adequate pressure ratings. Use replacement parts
recommended or supplied by the manufacturer.
Waste Disposal
Dispose of all used parts and materials in accordance with local laws and regulations.

System Overview
Any uses other than listed could result in a dangerous condition and cannot be
protected against by the safety features installed on the system. The system can have
one or two rotary tables and one or two valves. The system can also have a foot pedal or
finger switch(es). If there is only one rotary table, you will not see options for “R” or “L”
valves and rotary tables on the HMI screens.
Theory of Operation
The RD100 and RD200 have a programmable rotary table that is ideal for dispensing
circular or angled patterns. This simple dispense system uses a stepper motor on the
base to rotate the part simultaneously as the dispense head above accurately applies a
bead of fluid. Flexibility and adjustment of the dispense head, rotation angle, and
programmable control interface allow this simple dispense system to apply seamless
beads of adhesives and sealants.
Operation and Storage Environment
•Handling and transportation should be done to minimize the vibration and
shock on the system. Use an air-ride truck for transport.
•The system should be installed and stored on a level surface away from standing
water, possible overspray and overhead leaks.
•Operate and store the system at 40°F - 105°F (4°C – 41°C) and low humidity. Do
not let condensation collect on the system. Cover the system if it will be left for
an extended period of time.
Environmental
Noise Levels
The audible noise level of the machine is below 70 dBA.
Materials/Chemicals
There are no dangerous materials or chemicals used in the operation of the machine.
Refer to the MSDS sheet on the material being dispensed.

Description of Components
Refer to Section 3.2 for an overview image.
Component
Description
Valve The valve is installed at a set position that can be adjusted by the
operator. The valve operates based on the settings in Setup mode.
Rotary Table The rotary table turns clockwise or counterclockwise with the part
installed on it. The part will rotate at the set speed and direction
while the valve dispenses. The base is bolted to the rotary table and
can be changed for different sized parts.
HMI The HMI is the display used to control the system. Machine status
and error messages are shown on the screen

Setup
Before you operate the system, know the system components. Do the steps instructed
below for safe and correct operation.
Unpacking and Inspection
1. Remove all packing materials and straps.
2. Examine the system for damage, loose fasteners, etc.
3. Inspect all tubing connections, gauges, and regulators for damage. Make sure all
connections are tight.
4. There is a ¼” NPT female fitting on the back of the system. Connect to a source
of clean, dry air. A hose of 1/4” inside diameter is sufficient.
5. Connect the AC power cable to the system and to a 115/230 VAC electrical
outlet. Your system was shipped with the correct fuses. If you change the
voltage, refer to the schematic for the correct fuses.
WARNING: Failure to comply with electrical specifications can result in
damage to the machine as well as injury to installation personnel. Electrical
hookup must be made by a qualified electrician and must comply with any
applicable local standards.
6. Connect the foot pedal to the foot pedal socket on the rear of the machine, if
necessary.
Figure 1: Unpack the System
7. Attach the valve stands. Put the posts in the holes and turn the post clockwise
until they are tight.
8. Use a wrench on the flats of the posts and turn them clockwise an additional
turn, or until they are tight.
