Maintenance Maintenance Preventive Maintenance Typical wear parts in the Switch 3D Gun are the sealing rings inside the swivel chamber, the rod shutoff valves, To help prevent serious injury from pressurized fluid, rod seals and the rod shutoff valve seats.
Life The maintenance tables should be used as a guideline for the frequency of maintenance tasks. Additional fac- tors that could affect Switch 3D Gun life include the fol- lowing: • Material Fluid - Abrasive or fiber filled fluids are much harder on seals, shafts, and seats than non-abrasive fluids such as oil.
Troubleshooting Troubleshooting 1. Follow Pressure Relief Procedure, page 11, before checking or repairing the Switch 3D Gun. Problem Cause Solution Air leaks from Switch 3D Gun. Worn gasket. Replace gasket. Loose or worn air connections. Tighten air connections. Worn o-rings.
Follow the Flush the Switch 3D Gun page 11. b. Follow the Pressure Relief Procedure page 2. Disconnect the material inlet hose and the material 7. The Switch 3D Gun can be now be removed from return hose. Always use two wrenches when the robot.

Performance Charts Performance Charts Pattern Width Versus Tip Sizes The following tests were performed using a typical PVC seam sealer. See F . 36. • 600,000 centipose • Specific gravity 0.82 The graph below shows a fixed flow rate of 9.4 cc / sec and a fixed robot speed of 300 mm / sec.
Performance Charts Material Pressure Versus Tip Sizes The graph below represents the pressures for each tip to achieve the width shown in the Pattern Width Versus Tip Sizes graph. See F . 36. Pressure data may be useful when choosing a tip size due to the pressure limitation of the metering equipment.
