Nozzle Magazine/Carousel for Automated Dispensing Equipment

Product Specifications

Technical details and manufacturing context for Nozzle Magazine/Carousel

Definition

The Nozzle Magazine/Carousel is a component of the Nozzle Changer system in automated dispensing equipment. It stores multiple nozzles in organized positions and rotates to present the required nozzle to the dispensing head for automated tool changes during production. The carousel rotates on a central axis to align specific nozzle positions with the pick-up/drop-off point. When a nozzle change is required, the system rotates to the programmed position, allowing the dispensing head to exchange nozzles automatically without manual intervention. This component is typically constructed from aluminum alloy, stainless steel, or engineering plastics, with material selection depending on the application environment and required durability. Key parameters include the number of stations (8–24), which determines nozzle capacity and footprint; indexing accuracy (±0.05 mm) and repeatability (±0.02 mm) ensure precise alignment and consistent pick-up. Rotation speed ranges from 10 to 60 rpm, affecting cycle time but potentially reducing accuracy at higher speeds. Operating pressure is 0.4–0.8 MPa, and operating temperature is 5–60°C. Ingress protection ranges from IP54 to IP65 (IEC 60529), with IP65 suitable for washdown environments. Supply voltage is 24 V DC ±10%. The material grade for aluminum alloy is 6061-T6 (ASTM B211), with corrosion-resistant coating optional. Weight ranges from 15 to 60 kg, depending on station count and material. These values are directory reference ranges and must be confirmed for the specific model and application. Always verify model-specific values and standards with the legal manufacturer or supplier.

Working Principle

The carousel rotates on a central axis to align specific nozzle positions with the pick-up/drop-off point. When a nozzle change is required, the system rotates to the programmed position, allowing the dispensing head to exchange nozzles automatically without manual intervention. The rotation is typically driven by a motor or pneumatic actuator, and the indexing accuracy ensures that the nozzle is presented precisely. The system uses sensors and control signals to confirm the position and status of each nozzle, enabling reliable automated operation.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the typical number of stations available?

The number of stations ranges from 8 to 24, which determines the nozzle capacity and the footprint of the carousel. The specific number should be selected based on the required number of nozzles for the application.

What is the indexing accuracy and repeatability?

Indexing accuracy is ±0.05 mm, ensuring nozzle alignment with the dispensing head. Repeatability is ±0.02 mm, critical for consistent nozzle pick-up. These values are reference ranges and must be confirmed for the specific model.

What are the environmental and electrical requirements?

Operating temperature is 5–60°C. Ingress protection is IP54–IP65 (IP65 for washdown environments). Supply voltage is 24 V DC ±10%. Operating pressure for pneumatic actuation is 0.4–0.8 MPa.

What materials are used in construction?

Materials include aluminum alloy (e.g., 6061-T6 per ASTM B211), stainless steel, and engineering plastics. The choice depends on the application environment and required durability. Corrosion-resistant coating is optional.
