E-Flo iQ Metering & Dispensing Systems
The new E-Flo iQ system is a single-component metering and dispensing solution that greatly simplifies robotic application of sealants and adhesives.
Innovative Metering
E-Flo iQ is a complete tank-to-tip solution for intelligent metering. With an electric servo-driven motor, you can meter directly from the drum and maintain optimal flow control — without the hassle and expense of an external metering device.
A new level of intelligence, control & performance
Consistent control of flow rate
The E-Flo iQ meters directly from the drum, without the need for external dosing systems. The electric servo-driven motor on the E-Flo iQ knows the position of the piston pump and controls its velocity, assuring a consistent control of the flow rate at all times. And with pressure sensors placed at key locations, the pressure is constantly monitored and is kept constant from tank to tip.
Accurate Dispensing Performance
For applying accurate dispenses at the start and stop and during the complete length of the bead, the E-Flo iQ has a wide range of dispense valves that are suitable for non-heated and heated applications up to 70°C (158°F).
For low flow applications, iQ Valves are available in tip seal, ball/seat or snuff back versions. While the Axial Valve is ideal for high flows applications, such as window urethane dispense.
Easy to use and simple to integrate
Setting up and programming a metering system has never been easier. With the Advanced Display Module (ADM), Graco's HMI, you can easily set up the bead profile and save up to 16 different dispense styles.
Simple diagnostic screens make it easy to follow-up on all process variables and to find predictive maintenance parameters. The Communication Gateway Module (CGM) allows complete integration with your PLC via Discrete I/O, EtherNet/IP, PROFIBUS, PROFINET, or DeviceNet.
Low cost of ownership
Metering directly from the drum reduces the number of system components. By using fewer components that are long lasting and high quality, maintenance needs are extremely low.
With only a hose and valves mounted on the robot, you do not need to invest in an expensive robot with heavy payloads. This makes the E-Flo iQ the most cost-effective solution for pumping, metering and dispensing single component adhesives. Additionally, thanks to the electric servo-driven motor, it operates significantly quieter than traditional pneumatic pumps.
Better in Every Aspect
Optimised Dispensing Solution for Automatic Applications
Quiet Electric Motor
The core of the E-Flo iQ is its electric servo-driven motor, which directly controls the movement of the pump. It consists of a powerful driver and precise encoder that generates enough power so that you can reach high and low flows consistently. Using an electric motor, the sound level of the E-Fo iQ is very low, which is often less than 70dBa.
Applicators
A wide range of dispensing applicators is available for non-heated as well as heated applications up to 70°C (158°F).
Low Flow Applications: iQ Valves are ideal for low flow applications and deliver long-lasting and dependable performance. With tip seal, snuff-back, and ball-seat models, and different temperature, nozzle, and tip offerings, this line of valves deliver greater flexibility and compatibility for a wide range of single component sealant and adhesive dispensing applications.
High Flow Applications: The Axial Valve is a rotating dispense valve with a triangular head ideal for designed for high flow applications that require reliable and consistent beads. Common applications include urethane and sealant dispense for automotive window and windshield glazing.
Robust Heated Hoses
The hoses are robustly built for longer life and include a swivel to reduce wear. The heated hoses are insulated to ensure a consistent and uniform temperature of the material.
Advanced Display Module
With the Advanced Display Module, Graco’s HMI, you can set up the right bead profile in no time and allows you to save up to 16 different dispense styles. Simple diagnostic screens make it easy to follow-up on all the process variables and find predictive maintenance parameters. The communication gateway module allows complete integration over EtherNet/IP, PROFINET, PROFIBUS, and DeviceNet or simple integration over discrete I/O.
