Precision Continuous Flow Metering & Dispense System

Brand: Graco, Inc

Used in conjunction with a material supply system and robotics platform, the Graco PCF Metering System assures a precise, continuous flow of material. 

Closed-loop technology provides real-time adjustments for changes in material temperatures, viscosities, dispense rates or robot speeds – providing your operation with a highly precise, continuous dispense. 

System components include: Advanced Display Module, Fluid Plate, Graco CAN Cable and Gateway.
Features
  • Closed-loop "real-time" control ensures a precise, continuous dispense – improves part quality and reduces material waste.
  • Intuitive user interface simplifies setup, reduces training time.
  • Integrated USB interface for easy data downloads - allows for further analysis of process data.
  • Multiple gun capabilities for additional productivity - lets you program up to four guns.
  • Compact modular design - easy to install, integrate and maintain.
  • Low cost of ownership - fewer wear parts compared to shot meters.
  • Handles a range of materials
    • Ambient, warm melt and hot melt materials to 400°F (204°C).
    • Low to high viscosity materials.
    • Unlimited volume.
