The 500 series is easy to convert from non-contact to contact glue patterns. Simply change the output nozzle to the type of glue pattern desired. No valve modifications or special adapters are required. Valco Melton’s AS302 optical glue pattern sensor, designed for use with the 500 series valve, can verify glue patterns or dots at speeds up to 600m/min. The 524 valve and AS302 sensor work together for folding carton, specialty corrugated, envelope and other high-speed finishing and converting applications.
