Safety

Certain warning symbols are affixed to the machine 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.

Do not remove protective guarding.

In situations where inattention could cause either personal injury or damage

to equipment, a warning notice is used.

Theory of Operation

The MR2 has a dual piston system and can process 2K materials with mix ratios up to 15:1.

For 1K chemistries, the MR2 alternates metering chambers to reduce refill time and increase

throughput. Each metering chamber is controlled independently so the mix ratio and flow

rate can be changed at the application point.

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.

Waste Disposal

Dispose of all used parts and materials in accordance with local laws and regulations.

Necessary Tools

PVA offers tools and cleaning accessories to maintain the MR2.

Setup

Before you operate the MR2 Metered Piston Dispenser, read and understand this manual.

This information is for safety and correct operation of the valve. This manual provides the

information needed to operate, repair, and troubleshoot.

Overview

The MR2 Metered Piston Dispenser is constructed from three main components.

•The upper section of the valve is called the metering body; it houses the carbide

cylinders and pistons.

•On the front of the metering body is the oil window and fluid distribution block which

are used to ensure the pistons function smoothly.

•The lower section of the valve is called the metering sleeve which is covered by the

air body that controls the flow of dispensed material.

Operation

Note: Use only compatible solvents and materials or the seals and O-rings will be

damaged.

Bleed the Pump

1. To bleed the MR2, dispense all the way until the rods reach their full travel.

2. Repeat this five times to get all air out of the system.

Shutdown

Refer to the workcell manual for information on how to shut down the workcell.

1. Move the valve over a purge cup and reduce the pressure in the system to zero.

2. Bleed the pressure out of the valve and install the nightcap. Make sure to wipe off any

excess material before screwing on nightcap. If there are two materials, do not mix

them or they will cure.

Disassembly

1. Before you remove the MR2 from the material supply system, purge the material or

manually empty and do not refill. Make sure the pistons are all the way down.

2. Engage the workcell Emergency Stop button.

3. Turn the material and air pressure to 0 psi.

4. Remove the MR2 from the material supply and dispense systems.

5. Use a 2.5 mm hex key to remove the eight M4x12 button head screws in the oil

window.

6. Remove any lubrication fluid in the fluid distribution block.

7. Examine the oil window gasket for any signs of wear or damage. Replace the gasket

if there are signs of wear.

8. Use a 3 mm hex key to remove the six M4x16 bolts on the front of the air body.

Figure 5: Remove the Air Body Bolts

9. Remove the air body.

10. If necessary, remove the valve stop.

Figure 6: Remove the Valve Stop

11. Remove the inlet and outlet pistons from the air body.

Figure 7: Remove and Clean the Pistons

12. Clean the air body and the pistons.

13. Examine the piston O-rings for wear. If they are worn, replace them.
