2. Description:
The Binks E475 CS is a lightweight, high-pressure applicator designed for robotic application of
cosmetic sealing, an application requiring high precision and quality demands. The applicator is equipped
with a swivel for optimum robot flexibility and is designed to be used with a single nozzle or with a tool
changer. It is designed to handle most types of single component adhesives and sealants with medium to
high viscosity.
The swivel makes it possible for the robot to rotate the nozzle head independently of the cables and hoses
supplying the applicator. The nozzle head can be specified for various nozzle angles and directions.
The solenoid valves controlling the pistons for material valves are placed externally for ease of
maintenance.
The applicator includes two material valves that can be used either as one nozzle valve and one
recirculation valve or as two nozzle valves. Material circulation with the integrated circulation valve is
available when using only one nozzle valve and is provided through the entire length of the applicator for
material thixotropy breakdown and temperature control.
If required, the following optional features can be added to the configuration of the applicator:
• Induction sensors for indication of needle opened/closed and actuation times.
• Connection housing low profile, see page 10.

6.1 Testing before installation:
If the applicator has been assembled after a major repair or maintenance operation, it is recommended to
do a function test before the applicator is returned to production.
The extent of the test is dependent on the degree of maintenance performed on the applicator and the
available test facilities.
A minimum level of function test is to connect a compressed air supply then checking for air leakage by
opening each of the solenoid valves manually.
The electrical connections can be checked using an ohm-meter to test the connections from the plug to the
terminals and to make sure that there are no short-circuits.
Make one last check on all fasteners and then follow the installation instructions (Chapter 3) to mount the
applicator on the robot.
If the applicator has slipring discs, control that the distance between slip ring disc and the electric slip ring
brushes are approximately 2,1 - 2,3 mm. If the distance is not within this interval, contact the
manufacturers.
2,1 mm—2,3 mm
Electric slip ring brushes

If the applicator is tested off-line with mate-
rial pressure applied it’s very important to
take appropriate safety measures to prevent
personal injury!

9. Maintenance:
To ensure top performance, it is very important to maintain the unit properly. This chapter describes the
minimum level of daily, monthly and preventive maintenance.
Daily maintenance
Check the applicator for material leakages by ocular inspection.
Check the leakage detection hole on the swivel chamber and all connections.
Listen carefully for air leakages.
Clean the applicator thoroughly.
Monthly maintenance
All of what is mentioned in daily maintenance.
Inspect hoses and cables for excessive wear.
If possible, run a spray test on a spray test table.
Preventive maintenance
Typical wear parts in the applicator are the sealing rings inside the swivel chamber, the central body, the
needles, needle packings and the needle seats. Refer to spare parts manual for additional information and
spare parts numbers.
The wear of these parts is very dependent on the sealer material being used and also depending on the
operation conditions of the applicator.
Due to this, the frequency for preventive maintenance has to be evaluated for each case of application. Re-
fer to the service interval instruction manual for additional information.
Maintenance frequency
Due to the variations in working conditions, it is not possible to give a general frequency for preventive
maintenance.
The figures below can thus only be used as a guide for the maintenance frequency and are best estimates
based on standard material.
If a normal PVC material and supply pressure are used, it is recommended that the needle packings should
be replaced after 1 000 000 cycles (1 cycle = open and close).
The sealing rings in the swivel chamber is expected to be changed after 2 000 000 rotation cycles
(1 cycle = start to stop).
Preventive maintenance service
Dismount and disassemble the Binks E475 CS applicator according to chapter 4-5.
Clean all parts thoroughly and make sure no parts are damaged or worn out. Replace all parts included in
the service kits. Please refer to the spare parts list for available service kits. After reassembly of the
applicator, test all functions of the applicator to make sure that all parts are installed correctly.
Before any service action is undertaken on
the applicator, make sure that air and
material pressure is relieved.
WARNING !
Always use original spare parts!
