occurred, notify the carrier at once. Claims for damage must be made by the consignee to the carrier
and should be reported to the manufacturer.
4. DESCRIPTION
The TS8100 Series Progressive Cavity (PC) Pump is a continuously volumetric dispense pump based on
the progressive cavity (PC) technology. The pump is designed to dispense a wide range of fluids, from
low viscosity coatings to high viscosity greases. The many advantages of PC technology will simplify your
dispense process and improve reliability and quality in the long run.
The TS8100 Series PC Pump provides a consistent dispensing output due to a special design of sealed
cavities in the fluid chamber which create a volumetric fluid flow. Two main components are the stator
and rotor. The metal rotor seals tightly against the flexible rubber stator as it rotates, forming tightly
sealed cavities which move toward the pump outlet, carrying the fluid. The pumped fluid does not
change in shape or size during the dispense process. An accuracy and repeatability rate of +/-1% is
achievable.

TS8100 Series
Progressive Cavity (PC) Pump User Guide

5. THEORY OF OPERATION
The TS8100 Series PC Pump dispenses fluid with a positive displacement action using a progressive
cavity technology (Figure 4). Fluid is held in a feed reservoir (2) under a positive head of air pressure, up
to 30 psi (2.07 bar), depending upon the viscosity of the fluid. This positive air pressure, supplied by the
air line (1), forces the fluid out of the barrel (2) into the fluid feed path (3) then to the rotor/stator
chamber assembly (4). Fluid flows from this point (4) to the dispense tip outlet and is controlled by the
rotor rotation in the feed direction. The rotor is driven by the encoder DC motor (5). Applying a voltage
signal to the motor (5) will rotate the rotor and the fluid will be forced out the dispense tip. The actual
fluid deposited is dependent upon adhesion of the dispensed fluid to the substrate. Shearing of the fluid
is achieved by reverse Z-motion (tip retraction). When the motor stops, the unit remains in position for a
fraction of a second (dwell) to allow the last drop of fluid to flow out of the dispense tip. After the dwell
period, the automation equipment moves the pump to the next position.

6. SET-UP INSTRUCTIONS
6.1 Install the Stator
To ensure the safety of the pump’s components, the TS8100 is shipped without the stator attached to
the motor/rotor assembly. Follow the instructions below to install the stator (Figure 5).
Figure 5
1. Wet the rotor (2) by applying the dispensing fluid (or any appropriate lube that is compatible with
the dispensing fluid) to the exposed portion of the rotor surface.
2. Wet the stator (3) by squeezing a small amount of the dispensing fluid (or any appropriate lube that
is compatible with the dispensing fluid) into the stator opening.
3. Screw the stator (3) onto the rotor in the clockwise direction (2) until the 4 tabs of the stator align
with the 4 notches of the stator housing (Figure 6).
techcon.com/contact-us 8
TS8100 Series
Progressive Cavity (PC) Pump User Guide

Figure 6
4. Apply some pressure on the stator by pushing it against the stator housing to make sure it fully
seats into the notches. Check to make sure the rotor tip is flush with the stator.
Figure 7
5. Place the stator cap (4) into the retaining cap (5).
6. Install the retaining cap (5) (with the stator cap in place) by screwing it onto the stator housing (1) in
the clockwise direction.
6.2 Mechanical Mounting
Normally, the TS8100 Series PC Pump is used on an automation system such as a bench-top robot. It is
very important that the pump is mounted on the Z-axis gantry, in a secure manner, that will not allow
loosening during dispense operation. The Z-axis must move in a precise and repeatable motion for
successful dispensing.
The provided mounting bracket must be attached to the Z-axis in a manner that will provide the valve
perpendicular travel to the horizontal plane of the surface on which the fluid will be dispensed. The
mounting should provide a means of accurately adjusting the distance between the dispense tip and the
substrate surface such as a touchdown sensing device or a fixed distance standoff.
Attach the bracket to the pump as shown in Figure 8.

Figure 10
1. Connect the power adapter to the TS588R controller.
2. Connect the air hose to the TS588R controller.
3. Connect the motor cable to Port C.
Note: Make sure the controller is turned off when connecting the motor cable to port C.
4. Connect the syringe air hose to port B.
5. Set air pressure to feed the material to the pump.
Note: for low viscosity material the pressure setting should be 1 - 9 psi; for medium viscosity material
the pressure range setting should be 10 - 19 psi; for high viscosity material the pressure range should be
20 - 80 psi.
6. Press the Power button to turn on the unit.
1.4 Prime the Pump
1. Enter the appropriate flow rate setting in the TS588R Controller.
2. Select the “Purge” mode.

3. Press and hold the foot switch until a steady stream of material is flowing out the pump outlet
without air bubbles.
4. Attach a dispense needle to the pump outlet.
5. Repeat step #2.
Figure 11
6. If air bubbles still appear in the material, open the vent hole by turning the vent screw
counterclockwise to allow air bubbles to escape.

7. MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
7.1 Pump Purging
Purging the pump with dispensing conditioner (Techcon Part Number 7305XCON) after each shift is
recommended. The conditioner removes material residue from the material path and conditions the
pump for future use.
1. Release the material feed pressure.
2. Remove material from the pump.
3. Remove the dispense tip.
4. Install a barrel of the dispensing conditioner to the pump inlet and set air pressure at 10.0 psi.
5. Set the controller to “PURGE” mode.
6. Press the foot switch to let the pump run until the conditioner is the only material being dispensed
at the pump outlet. If the conditioner is unable to force the dispense material out the pump outlet,
then proceed to the “Thorough Cleaning” section.
7. Release the foot switch to stop pump.
8. Release the conditioner feed pressure.
7.2 Thorough Cleaning
Thorough cleaning procedures should be done whenever the following occur:
•When the dispense material is changed to different type
•When the dispense material is started to cure in the pump
•When Pump has been dispensing for one month.
•When the dispense tip clogged frequently
Refer to diagram below (Figure 14). Recommended cleaning solvent: IPA or Acetone.

Figure 14
1. Perform the pump purging process by follow steps 1-6 in Section 9.1 “Purging.”
2. Remove the 1/8 NPT Inlet Fitting
3. Rotate the retaining cap (3) counterclockwise until it completely detaches from the stator housing
(7).
4. Pull the retaining cap (3), stator cap (5), and needle cap (4) straight out from the stator housing (7).
5. Remove the stator (10) by rotating it counterclockwise. If necessary, turn on the motor while
rotating the stator.
6. Using the 2 mm hex key to remove 4 mounting screws (13).
7. Pull the stator housing straight out (7); take care not to damage the seal.
8. Submerge the stator (10) in a bath of cleaning solvent and use the cleaning brush (included in the
cleaning kit) to clean the stator. Insert the brush into the center of the stator and rotate it until all
residue is cleaned out.

9. Use the same cleaning brush to clean the internal chamber of the stator cap.
10. Use a soft cloth to wipe off material residue on the rotor (2) surface.
11. Continue to clean the rotor by dipping it in a solvent bath, then use the brush to remove any
leftover residue.
12. Use a soft cloth to wipe off material residue on the cup seal (11).
13. Inspect parts for wear or damage and replace if necessary.
