Introduction (contd)
A suspension package, which includes a mast and overhead balancer, bears
the weight of the gun and hose and allows a wide range of operator
movement. The gun assembly easily swings both left/right and in/out on the
swing arm, relative to the operator's position. This weight‐support design
and ergonomic configuration help reduce worker fatigue and physical stress
in bench‐top gluing applications such as automotive panels, appliance
panels, and furniture.

Description 2-5
Performance
A light‐touch trigger activates a micro‐switch in the gun handle, providing
instant adhesive flow. The ball and seat design assures clean cut‐off at the
nozzle. The gun is equipped with resistance temperature detectors (RTDs).
When used with RTD‐controlled Nordson systems, FP‐200 guns permit gun
temperature control within one 1_F (0.5_C).
Reduced Maintenance Costs

The guns are equipped with quick disconnecting electrical plugs. Gun
modules are interchangeable for ease of cleaning and maintenance. A
module can be replaced in minutes by simply removing two cap screws and
two o‐rings. The air‐open, spring‐close design includes long‐life seals and
provides superior cutoff, greater pattern uniformity and the ability to handle a
wide range of hot melt materials.
Design Flexibility
A wide selection of modules and nozzles is available for spiral spray and
bead extrusion to meet numerous deposition requirements. Patented
Controlled Fiberizationt gun modules permit exceptional control of spiral
pattern density without overspray. For bead extrusion flexibility, modules are
available in standard and reduced cavity designs with a choice of nozzle and
orifice diameters. Reduced cavity modules help provide clog‐free operation
with a self‐cleaning needle and nozzle assembly.
For operating ease, the FP‐200 guns incorporate an adjustable trigger

handle. An auxiliary guide handle permits two‐handed use for further control.
The handle can be positioned for either left‐ or right‐handed use. The
compact body design optimizes pattern visibility and lets the operator
maneuver the gun into otherwise difficult to reach areas.
FP‐200 guns can easily be converted from swirl to extrusion or extrusion to

swirl using a conversion kit. Refer to Section 8, Parts, for conversion kit part
numbers.
An air supply line is connected to FP‐200 guns through an air pressure

regulator, thus eliminating the need for an air control kit. FP‐200 guns that
currently use an air control kit may be easily replaced. Refer to Replacing
Air‐Control‐Kit FP‐200 Guns in Section 3, Installation.
Approvals
FP‐200 guns are designed to meet Underwriter's Laboratory (UL), Canadian
(C‐UL), and Conformité Européenne (CE) standards.

Description 2-7
Selecting Swirl Spray Nozzles

There are two basic swirl spray nozzle types: the spray disk nozzle and the
spray cap nozzle.
Spray disk nozzles have two parts: a disk and a retaining nut. The disk
contains the orifices for both the fiberizing air and the adhesive and is
secured to the module by the retaining nut. The spray cap nozzle has the
disk and retaining nut as a single piece. Spray cap nozzles have a small
o‐ring that serves as a seal between the air section and the adhesive section
of the nozzle.
Both nozzle options provide particular advantages. The spray cap nozzle
provides easy cleaning, but the part of the nozzle containing the orifices is
not recessed as with the spray disk nozzles. The spray disk's recessed
nozzle tip provides protection from tool damage and dropping the nozzle.
Swirl spray nozzles are typically constructed of brass, produce clockwise

spray rotation and can produce pattern widths from 0.5 inches to 6.0 inch.
Nozzles are available in various orifice sizes. A list of available spray nozzles
is in Section 7, Parts.
Wide pattern swirl nozzles are available in the following sizes: 0.020 in.,
0.030 in., and 0.046 in. The pattern capabilities meet most product assembly
applications for density, coverage, and edge control. These are
recommended for all but the most precise (<1.0 in. width) applications.
Special application nozzles are available. Contact your Nordson

representative for additional information.

maintenance activities.
Cleaning Extrusion Nozzles

Nozzle clogging occurs when a filter screen is damaged or when there is
charred material in the hose or gun. Char may occur if adhesive is heated
above the application temperature recommended by the adhesive
manufacturer. If this occurs it may be necessary to replace the gun.
1. Relieve hydraulic pressure. Refer to the Relieving Hydraulic Pressure

procedure in Section3, Installation.
3. Move the applicator circuit breaker to the OFF position, then disconnect
and lock out input electrical power to the applicator.

5. Place the nozzle in a container of TypeR fluid. Use a controlled heating
device (such as a small, deep fat fryer or thermostatically‐controlled hot
plate) to heat the TypeR fluid above the hot melt adhesive material
melting temperature.
NOTE: Another method for cleaning nozzles is to place the parts in an
ultrasonic cleaner filled with TypeR fluid.
NOTE: Pin‐type probes are not for use on zero cavity, reduced cavity, or
swirl modules. Review the instruction sheet received with zero cavity and
reduced cavity modules for specific nozzle cleaning procedures. Call
your Nordson representative if you have any questions regarding the
correct cleaning procedure for your modules and nozzles.

5. Place the nozzle in a container of TypeR fluid or equivalent. Use a
controlled heating device (such as a small, deep‐fat fryer or
thermostatically‐controlled hot plate) to heat the TypeR fluid above the
hot melt adhesive material melting temperature (see Figure5‐4).
NOTE: Another method for cleaning nozzles is to place the parts in an
ultrasonic cleaner filled with TypeR fluid.
6. Remove the nozzle from the cleaning fluid, then separate the nozzle disk
from the retaining nut and inspect the nozzle for warping and blockage.
NOTE: Prior to nozzle replacement, it may be advisable to trigger air
through the gun body to remove adhesive that may have entered an air
port. If this step is taken, slowly increase air pressure at the regulator to
34 or 69kPa (5 or 10psi). Trigger the gun, then turn the air regulator off.

Maintenance 5-7
CAUTION: Installing a nozzle disk upside down deforms the disk and
prevents the bead from forming a spiral. If a deformed disk is then correctly
installed, adhesive may leak into the nozzle air section or an abnormal
pattern may be produced.
7. Reinstall the nozzle and retaining nut. Ensure that the disk is correctly
placed with the pointed side down. Torque the retaining nut to
20‐25 in‐lb.

Using the Illustrated Parts Lists

To order parts, call the Nordson Customer Service Center or your local
Nordson representative. Use these five‐column parts lists, and the
accompanying illustrations, to describe and locate parts correctly. The
following chart provides guidance for reading the parts lists.
The number in the Item column corresponds to the circled item number in the parts
list illustration. A dash in this column indicates that the item is an assembly.
The number in the Part column is the Nordson part number you can use to order the
part. A series of dashes indicates that the part is not saleable. In this case, you must
order either the assembly in which the part is used or a service kit that includes the
part.
The Description column describes the part and
sometimes includes dimensions or specifications.
The Note column contains letters that refer to notes at

the bottom of the parts list. These notes provide
important information about the part.
The Quantity column tells you how many of the part
is used to manufacture the assembly shown in the
parts list illustration. A dash or AR in this column
indicates that the amount of the item required in
the assembly is not quantifiable.

Section 10
Glossary
Adhesive Any material that can be used to adhere or “stick” one surface to another.
Angel Hair Fine threads of adhesive caused by incomplete transfer of the adhesive
mass from applicator to substrate, followed by elongation of the connecting
bridges. May be caused by improper nozzle shutoff with a high viscosity
adhesive.
Applicator That part of the hot melt system that is used to heat adhesive to its required
application temperature and pump it to the hose(s) and gun(s). It consists of
a tank or reservoir, pump, filter, distribution manifold and temperature
controlled heating system.
Ball Check Valve An automatically actuated valve which is opened by fluid flow in one direction
and closed by flow in the opposite direction.
Bead Thickness The width of an adhesive bead which has been deposited on a substrate.
The measurement is taken before the bead has been flattened by adhering it
to another surface.
Cartridge Heater See Heater Cartridge.
Cast‐in Resistive Heating A non‐replaceable heating element specifically shaped to provide a uniform
thermal profile in the heated object.
Element
Charring in Tank The degradation of a fluid that occurs as a result of time and exposure to
atmospheric air and/or heat.
Circuit Breaker An electronic device that acts to shut down a powered AC circuit when
current draw (amps) exceeds some preselected value or when certain fault
conditions exist.
Close‐on‐rise Thermostat A temperature control device that closes, completing an electronic circuit
upon reaching a specific temperature.
Crossover Tube The tube that connects the outlet port of a pump to the distribution manifold
of a hot melt applicator.

10-2 Glossary
Drop‐out Time The time between when the gun is signaled to stop and when the adhesive
flow actually does stop.
Dual‐acting Piston Pump A pump that delivers material on both the upstroke and the downstroke.
Enclosure Rating A manufacturer's statement of the maximum level of some external condition,
such as water or dust level, that the enclosure is capable of withstanding.
Encoder A speed‐sensing device which outputs a frequency of pulses proportional to

the measured line speed.
Extrusion Gun A spring‐loaded triggering device for dispensing or depositing material.

There are two basic types of guns, the manual gun which is actuated by hand
and the automatic gun which is actuated by process controls.
Filter Bung That part of a filter assembly external to the unit to which the filtering element
is attached, or contained within the unit. It is also used for access or
cleaning.
Flow Rate The amount of material flowing through the system per unit of time. The
amount may be expressed in gravimetric (weight) or volumetric terms.
Examples: grams/minute, ml/min, lb/hour, gallons/hour.
Four‐way Air Valve A valve typically used to pressurize one side of a double acting cylinder while
opening a exhaust path for the opposite side.
Gear‐to‐line See Key‐to‐line.
Gel A cross‐linked, insoluble material which can form in a hot melt applicator
under extended thermal stress.
Ground Wire A wire that connects all AC powered devices to earth ground.
Gun The device that dispenses a material (adhesive) onto a substrate or product.
Heater Cartridge A replaceable resistive heating element, tubular in shape, designed to fit in a
machined hole in the object to be heated.
Heating Bong The volume that is heated and thermally controlled by a single control device.
Hopper A container allowing non‐melted adhesive to be supplied on a continuous

basis to a melt zone.

Glossary 10-3
Hot Melt Material The adhesive or thermoplastic material dispensed by the hot melt system.
Hot Melt System The applicator, hose(s), gun(s) and timing mechanism.
Key‐to‐line A system that regulates flow rate in proportion to the substrate (line) speed.
Level Indicator A device that shows the level of material in a tank, reservoir or hopper.
Light Emitting Diode (LED) A device that converts applied voltage to light. LEDs appear as colored
lights that indicate operating conditions.
Low Level Indicator See Level Indicator.
Manifold The device that distributes fluid and/or air.
Maximum Operating Gun The highest cycle rate of the gun that produces a repeatable pattern.
Speed
Maximum Pumping Rate The maximum adhesive flow rate achievable without exceeding any
operating limits. The maximum pumping rate is measured at the manifold
outlet. The rate is based on an adhesive with a given viscosity.
Melt Rate The rate at which a material can be melted continuously on a long‐term basis
while maintaining the output fluid temperature within a desired temperature
band. Commonly expressed in units of grams/minute, grams/hour, lb/min or
lb/hr.
Nozzle The extrusion tip, the point at which the adhesive exits the gun. The nozzle
controls the adhesive stream's volume, shape and direction. Nozzles may
have single or multiple orifices.
Open Time The time after adhesive is applied during which a serviceable bond can be
made. Many factors affect open time, including temperature, substrate, the
adhesive used and the amount of adhesive applied.
Operating Air Pressure The pressure at which the pump and/or guns are operated. See product
specifications.
Operating Temperature The range of temperatures in which the specific material or adhesive in use
functions satisfactorily in a particular application.
Range
Overtemperature Protection A product feature that shuts down the unit or produces an alarm when
temperatures are outside a specified band.

10-4 Glossary
Parent Machine Interlock A product feature that prevents the parent machine from operating before the
hot melt system is ready.
(PMI)
Pattern Control A device that controls the dispensing of material.
Pressure‐Sensitive An adhesive that remains tacky after curing or setting.

Adhesive
Pull‐in Time The time between when the gun is signaled to start and when the adhesive
flow actually begins.
Pulses Per Minute Output signal frequency, often from an encoder, tach generator or similar
device.
Pumping Rate The amount of material a pump can deliver per unit of time.
Rebuild and Exchange A Nordson program which offers factory rebuilt equipment at a reduced cost
in exchange for the customer's old equipment.
(RBX)

Relief Valve A safety device designed to release pressure if it exceeds a preset level.
Resistance Temperature A temperature‐sensing device that changes resistance at a predetermined

rate in response to changes in temperature.
Detector (RTD)
Run‐up A special case of Key‐to‐line or Gear‐to‐line, often applied to air control for
piston pumps.
Service Block Part of an automatic extrusion gun, the service block supplies the needed air,
adhesive and heat to make the gun operate.
Setting Time The time required for a material to reach a set state after being applied in a
fluid state.
Shifter Assembly A mechanical or electrical device used to switch a 4‐way air valve.
Slats A common shape of adhesive.
Slot Nozzle A nozzle that applies a film of adhesive instead of a bead.
Solenoid Valve An air control valve actuated by an electromagnetic coil.

Glossary 10-5
Solid State Circuitry An electronic circuit whose operation depends upon any combination of
optical, electrical or magnetic phenomena within a solid. Specifically
excluded are circuits that depend upon physical movement, as well as those
requiring either contact with or avoidance of other solids, liquids, gases or
plasmas.
Solid State Device A device whose electrical functions are performed by semiconductors or
otherwise completely static components such as resistors and capacitors.
The device may contain components that do not depend on electronic
conduction in a vacuum or gas.
Solvent In the Nordson context, a material used to desolve hot melt adhesive to
facilitate system cleaning.
Stringing A defect in adhesive application characterized by hair‐like fibers of adhesive

emanating from the trailing edge of the bead. Stringing may produce
continuous fibers attached to the nozzle. It is most often caused by the gun
temperature being too cold.
Substrate The material or product on which the adhesive is applied.
Tank Capacity The amount of material that the tank can hold with the fluid level 25 mm (1
inch) from the top of the hopper or tank.
Tank Strainer A product feature that helps keep large pieces of foreign material out of the
pump.

pump is taken into account in this measurement.
Temperature Sensor That part of a temperature control system that detects the temperature and
feeds this information to the control device.
Temperature Setback A product feature by which the system temperature may be automatically
reduced to a preset number of degrees.
Thermoplastic Material A synthetic material which is solid at room temperature, becomes soft when
heated, and returns to solid form upon cooling.
Timing Device See Pattern Control.
Touch Pad Operator interface.
Unlubricated Air Air free of oil.
Viscosity A physical measurement of resistance to flow.
