Dispensing Cell Smart - L
2- / multi- component dosing and mixing system
MIXTURES THAT SUIT YOUR REQUIREMENTS. MODULAR AND COMPACT, WITH A VERY SMALL FOOTPRINT.
The SMART - L is a 2-component or optionally 3-component dosing cell for semi- or fully-automatic use for gasketing, bonding and potting the widest range of parts. The system enables high-precision processing of liquid, medium and high viscosity polymers, such as polyurethane, silicone, epoxy resin or other polymer reactive substances.
QUALITY AT HIGHEST LEVEL
The SMART - L dosing cell always processes the used materials on a constantly high quality level with regard to reproducible material consistency and dimensional accuracy. The use of cutting-edge sensors and actuators provides further reassurance of reliable system quality and process regulation. Since all setup, system, material and process data are automatically logged, the production workflow can be tracked at all times. The „Sonderhoff SAFETY“ package has been developed as a key measure for safeguarding consistently high levels of machine availability. It is primarily based on an underlying concept of preventive and scheduled maintenance.
MODULAR AND FLEXIBLE TODAY AND TOMORROW
Whoever buys a Sonderhoff system today is assuring their ability to master the tasks of the future when processing various components involving new geometries and materials under conditions that may well change. YOUR investment is secured by the modular design of the SMART - L, the use of innovative technology and process-reliable workflows. The dosing cell is equipped with the MK 800 PRO or the MK 825 PRO precision mixing head.
Thanks to its modular and compact design, the SMART - L dosing cell can be integrated into various manufacturing concepts.
PROCESSING WITH MAXIMUM COMFORT
Teach-in Box and optional Sonderhoff CONTROL 2 user interface
In designing its SMART - L dosing cell, Sonderhoff consciously strived to ensure that users can perform the widest range of operations easily and reliably. The optional Sonderhoff CONTROL 2 user interface with touch screen operation is a big step forward to this direction and has proven to be particularly useful. All of the system and process parameters can be pre-set and regulated to reliably assure fully-automated production by the system. Using the „Teach-in“ learning procedure offered by the multi-functional Teach-in Box simplifies the contour programming of the processed parts considerably.
CLEAN AND ACCURATE DISPENSING
High-pressure water rinsing technology and „Stop-Drop DVS-3“ nozzle shutoff system
Using Sonderhoff‘s high-pressure water rinsing technology to clean the mixing chamber offers a series of additional benefits, including quality improvements and efficiency. Precise material output for part dispensing is assured by the pressure-regulated recirculating valve technology. The „Stop-Drop DVS-3“ nozzle shutoff system guarantees adherence to the precisely defined output rate and dimensional accuracy, especially in the coupling areas.
IMPROVED USER FRIENDLINESS
Accessible from all sides
The clear layout and compact design of the SMART - L dosing cell with its large rectangular apertures on the front and side doors improves access to the cell‘s mixing and dosing permitting fast and easy servicing and maintenance. The service door is available either with swing opening to full height at an angle of 180°or as a lift version. The tanks for water rinsing are mounted beneath the mixing and dispensing level on bearing slides for convenient removal and drainage. The cell roof is also removable, thus further simplifying access to the dispensing cell. The height of the cell, without the roof and depending on the adjustable height of the feet, is 2.20 m, which is important for overseas shipment, where the ISO Standard stipulates containers with an opening height of 2.28 m. The hose layout for feeding the individual material components from dispensing pump to mixing head has been improved. A specially separated supply level at the base of the cell assures safe routing of the electrical and pneumatic lines. The lockable machine cabinet containing the dispensing periphery is located right on the rear wall of the cell. The pressure tanks for the material components are mounted on a separate base. The switch cabinet housing the control technology is separate from the SMART- M dosing cell.
