3.12.2 Heater Tooling
 NOTE Available only on X-1020 Dispensing Systems. Thermocouple type heaters are standard;
RTD type heaters are options.
Heater tooling includes contact heaters and impingement heaters. Each heater type is capable of
independent temperature regulation with temperature parameters for each station set up within
Fluidmove. The software communicates the parameters to the conveyor/heater controller, which regulates
heater operation. Both types of heaters receive power directly from the conveyor/heater controller.
Contact or impingement heater tooling can be installed on top of lift tables at pre-dispense, dispense, post-
dispense conveyor stations. They are connected to power and vacuum using quick disconnect fittings.
Refer to Section 7 – Specifications for heater tooling performance specifications. For heater operation
information, refer to 4.7 Operating Heater Tooling.
Heater tooling temperature is set in the Fluidmove software. The conveyor/heater controller in the lower
front cabinet monitors the thermocouple (TC) or resistive temperature detector (RTD) readout, compares
it to the heat parameters set in Fluidmove, and regulates the voltage going to the heating element to
maintain the set temperature. See Figure 3-23.
