Ashby Cross has added a PLC based control system to one of our most popular dispense systems. The 1125 Variable Ratio piston metering system is an excellent bench-top meter, mix for light to medium production potting. The cylinders and rotary valve used to control flow are hardened which provides many maintenance free cycles especially when using abrasive fillers.
The PLC adds a lot of flexibility to the process. Standard features include a pot life (anti-gel) timer with alarm, machine controlled shot size via built in encoder, a five shot selectable menu, cycle counters for both the dispense head and metering section, and cycle set points which provide data for preventative maintenance.
Automatic meter, mix system
In encoder mode, shot sizes range down to 0.3 cc with a +/- 1% repeatability. Maximum full charge volume is 160 cc at 1:1 ratio. The encoder also will sums the volume dispensed in each cycle and automatically refills the cylinders to avoid fractional shots.
Available options include heating and vacuum degassing, wide range of tanks with or without agitation, remote, hand-held snuff-back mix/dispense gun.
