Overview
This manual describes the installation, operations, and maintenance of the Fan Width Control (FWC)
system. The FWC system is used with the Asymtek Century Series C-740 (conveyor) or C-741 (batch)
dispensing systems. The FWC system controls the dispenser fan spray pattern using the Easy Coat for
Windows NT (ECNT) software.
CAUTION! Installation, operation, and service should only be performed by Asymtek-trained
operators and service technicians.
Safety First
WARNING! CAUTION!
Failure to adhere to warning labels on the dispensing system or on the FWC
system, could result in personal injury or damage to the system.
WARNING! CAUTION!
Make sure the dispensing system is off-line and disconnected from electrical and
pneumatic power before initial installation of the FWC system. Failure to do so
could result in personal injury or damage to the system.
? NOTE Before using this manual, please familiarize yourself with the operational and
safety aspects in the Century Series C-740/C-741 Installation, Operation, and
Maintenance Manual.
Hardware Description
The FWC System consists of a Sensor Fixture and a Fan Width Enclosure. The Sensor Fixture is located
in the dispensing area of the dispensing system and is typically mounted to the conveyor rail or other
convenient location. The dispenser fan pattern is measured in this fixture.
The Fan Width Enclosure communicates between the Robot Controller and the Sensor Fixture. This unit
takes commands from the Robot Controller and coating program and adjusts the fluid pressure. A Fiber
Optic Sensor Amplifier detects the fan pattern and sends the information to the Robot Controller. The
ECNT software communicates with the Fan Width Enclosure.
