Introduction
E 2012 Nordson Corporation
WARNING! Allow only qualified personnel to perform the following tasks.
Follow the safety instructions in this document and all other related
documentation.
This conversion kit provides instructions to convert an FP-200 extrusion gun
(P/N 234897) to an FP-200 swirl gun (P/N 234896). It does not
accommodate any other FP-200 gun part numbers.
The Nordson FP-200 gun, when combined with the appropriate
balance-assist devices, allows the operator to maintain a neutral wrist
position while manually applying hot melt adhesives and sealants to
horizontal substrates. Two versions of the FP-200 gun are available:
extrusion and swirl. Extrusion guns can meet a wide variety of bead
deposition requirements while swirl guns permit exceptional control of spiral
pattern density and size.
Nordson offers two conversion kits: One to convert an extrusion gun to
a swirl gun and one to convert a swirl gun to an extrusion gun. This
instruction sheet contains the procedures for converting an extrusion gun to a
swirl gun.
