CAUTION! Hot surfaces! Avoid contact with the hot metal surfaces ofapplicators, hoses, and certain components of the melter. If contactcan not be avoided, wear heat‐protective gloves and clothing whenworking around heated equipment. Failure to avoid contact with hotmetal surfaces can result in personal injury.

HM

CAUTION! Some Nordson melters are specifically designed toprocess polyurethane reactive (PUR) hot melt. Attempting to processPUR in equipment not specifically designed for this purpose candamage the equipment and cause premature reaction of the hot melt. Ifyou are unsure of the equipment's ability to process PUR, contact yourNordson representative for assistance.

HM, CA

CAUTION! Before using any cleaning or flushing compound on or inthe equipment, read and comply with the manufacturer's instructionsand the MSDS supplied with the compound. Some cleaningcompounds can react unpredictably with hot melt or cold adhesive,resulting in damage to the equipment.

HM

CAUTION! Nordson hot melt equipment is factory tested with NordsonType R fluid that contains polyester adipate plasticizer. Certain hot meltmaterials can react with Type R fluid and form a solid gum that canclog the equipment. Before using the equipment, confirm that the hotmelt is compatible with Type R fluid.



Other Safety Precautions � Do not use an open flame to heat hot melt system components.

� Check high pressure hoses daily for signs of excessive wear, damage, or

leaks.

� Never point a dispensing handgun at yourself or others.

� Suspend dispensing handguns by their proper suspension point.

First Aid

If molten hot melt comes in contact with your skin:

1. Do NOT attempt to remove the molten hot melt from your skin.

2. Immediately soak the affected area in clean, cold water until the hot melthas cooled.

3. Do NOT attempt to remove the solidified hot melt from your skin.

4. In case of severe burns, treat for shock.

5. Seek expert medical attention immediately. Give the MSDS for the hotmelt to the medical personnel providing treatment.

Description This manual describes the installation and use of the Nordson UnityIC30/IC300 dispensing system. When necessary, the reader is referred tothe documentation supplied with other Nordson products or productssupplied by third parties.

The Unity IC dispensing system liquifies solid‐form polyurethane reactive(PUR) hot melt adhesive contained in 30‐cc syringes or in 300‐cc cartridgesand maintains the adhesive at the desired temperature. When the system isactivated, it uses compressed air to dispense a bead of adhesive as small as0.5 mm (0.020�in.) in width onto the surface of a product, usually in a small tomid‐sized electronics assembly application. The system includes:

� the Unity controller

� the Unity IC30 or IC300 applicator and MiniBlue module assembly

� the Unity robot with vision detection (camera) and feedback system (if

applicable—other robots are available)

� the following software applications for use on a Windows�‐based

computer: JR C‐Points (for the robot) and In‐Sight (for the camera) (ifapplicable)

These components combine to form a system that uses closed‐loop,algorithmic control to measure bead size and to then automaticallycompensate for adhesive viscosity and pressure to maintain consistent beadthickness.

Intended Use

Unity Series dispensing systems are specifically designed to:

� Melt and pump solid‐form PUR hot melt adhesives contained in

syringes/cartridges that are engineered to be liquified and extruded attemperatures below 121 �C (250 �F)

� Be used with compatible equipment manufactured by Nordson

Corporation

� Be used in non‐explosive environments

The Unity IC30/IC300 dispensing system is virtually complete, but is intendedto be incorporated into machinery or assemblies by an integrator. Theequipment must not be placed into use in a member state of the EuropeanUnion until the parent machinery or assemblies have been declared by theintegrator to be in conformity with the applicable directives of the EuropeanCommission.

Limitations of Use

Use Unity Series dispensing systems only for the purpose for which they aredesigned. Unity Series dispensing systems should not be used:

� to melt or pump any material that creates a health or safety hazard

when heated

� in environments that will require the system to be cleaned using a

water wash or spray

Additional Limitations of Use for PUR Adhesives

When the maximum level of harmful substance concentration is exceeded,use a gas mask and air purifying equipment.

Operation Before operating the system for the first time, ensure that you havecompleted the procedures in the Installation and Setup sections.

Special Operating Considerations for PUR Adhesive

Because the viscosity of PUR adhesive increases significantly when thesystem is at operating temperature, the applicator should be heated only foroperation or cleaning. If the applicator is held at operating temperature longerthan the life of the PUR adhesive, then the risk of cured material inside theapplicator increases.

However, even in the best operating scenario it is still likely that over time thePUR will occlude the inner adhesive passages, requiring the applicator to becleaned. When the applicator is cleaned, is it critical to remove cured PURadhesive from all adhesive passages, not just the adhesive passages insidethe module.

Daily Startup and Operation 1. Turn on the robot.

2. Turn on the controller. The controller display will go through the startupscreens.

NOTE: The controller always powers on in the user mode.

3. Turn on the air supply.

4. Allow the system to reach application temperature.

5. If a cured adhesive warning exists at startup, reset the Elapsed Timeparameter to 0. Refer to Changing a Parameter in the User Mode underSetup.

6. Verify that the temperature settings are at the desired value. Refer to SetUp the Unity Controller under Setup as needed.

7. (IC30 applicator only) When the READY light turns on, place thecontroller purge switch in the on position until the rest of the material inthe flush syringe (used during shut down) is dispensed.

(IC300 applicator only) When the READY light turns on, place thecontroller purge switch in the on position and purge material from the theflush cartridge (used during shut down) for approximately five (5)minutes.

WARNING! Risk of burns. Wear heat‐protective gloves and clothing whenworking around heated equipment. Failure to avoid contact with hot metalsurfaces can result in personal injury.

8. (IC30 applicator only) Load an adhesive syringe in the applicator asfollows:

a. Open the adhesive syringe latch and remove the air cap.

b. Remove the caps from both ends of the adhesive syringe and insertthe syringe into the applicator.

c. Reinstall the air cap and close the latch.



Daily Startup and Operation (contd)

(IC300 applicator only) Load an adhesive cartridge in the applicator asfollows:

See Figure 35.

a. Unscrew the cartridge end cap (1).

b. Heat the adhesive cartridge. Nordson Corporation recommends usingan adhesive cartridge preheater, such as the PUR adhesive easypreheater available from 3M.

c. Place the needle pierce (3) on the bottom end of the adhesivecartridge (2), place the needle retainer nut (3) on the needle pierce,and tighten the nut until it bottoms out.

d. Slide the cartridge, needle, and nut assembly into the applicatormanifold.

e. Reinstall the cartridge end cap and tighten it until it bottoms out. Theend cap will pierce the other end of the cartridge.

Monitoring the System

Several parameters available on the controller are useful for systemmonitoring, including, but not limited to, the following:

� PRESSURE

� SETPOINT

� ELAPSED TIME

� CYCLE COUNT

� BATTERY VOLTAGE

Refer to Set Up the Unity Controller under Setup for a description of allcontroller parameters and the procedure for viewing or changing aparameter.

Shutdown

Because PUR adhesive reacts with moisture in the air, exposure of the PURadhesive in the system to air must be minimized. The procedures belowrepresent the best practices for overnight or long‐term (longer than overnight)shutdown.

Overnight Shutdown 1. Shut down the system and allow the applicator to cool, leaving the

current syringe/cartridge in the applicator. This will retain the seal andminimize the exposure to air.

2. The next morning, follow the Daily Startup and Operation procedureearlier in this section to install a new syringe/cartridge.

Long‐Term Shutdown 1. Place a large collection pan under the applicator.

WARNING! Risk of burns. When the last drops of adhesive are beingpurged, the pressurized air will cause some adhesive spray. Ensure that thecollection pan is large enough to shield the operator from the spray.

2. Place the controller purge switch in the on position until all adhesive isdispensed from the syringe/cartridge, then place the switch in the offposition.



3. (IC30 applicator only)

a. Open the applicator latch and, without putting pressure on thesyringe, remove the air cap.

b. Use a pick to remove any hardened adhesive from the syringe.

c. Install the air cap and close the latch

(IC300 applicator only)

a. Remove the cartridge end cap and then remove the cartridge, nut,and needle assembly.

b. Remove the retainer nut and needle pierce from the cartridge.

c. Use a pick to remove any hardened adhesive from the retainer nutand needle.

d. Reinstall the cartridge end end cap.

4. Remove the applicator nozzle and purge again to ensure that alladhesive is dispensed.

CAUTION! Ensure that the flushing material is compatible with the PURadhesive being used. Refer to the MSDS for both the adhesive and theflushing material.

5. Load a flush syringe/cartridge into the applicator.

6. Purge again until a clean flow of flush material is achieved. Leave someflush material in the syringe/cartridge.

7. Reinstall the nozzle and purge the system again to flush all PURadhesive out of the nozzle. Leave some flush material in thesyringe/cartridge.

8. Turn off the air supply.

9. Turn off the controller.

10. Turn off the robot.
