ELECTRICALLY OPERATED PRESSURE CONTROL VALVE
First Claim
1. A hot melt dispensing system, comprising:
- a melter configured to melt solid material into hot melt;
a pump configured to pump the hot melt from the melter to at least one applicator;
a pressure control system configured to control a pressure of pressurized air for operating the pump, the pressure control system comprising;
a regulator assembly configured to control the pressure of the pressurized air; and
a drive component configured to actuate the regulator assembly; and
a controller configured to determine a pressure setting for the pressurized air,wherein the drive component is configured to receive the pressure setting from the controller and actuate the regulator assembly to a position associated with the pressure setting.

Abstract
A hot melt dispensing system is described. The hot melt dispensing system includes a melter that melts solid material into hot melt, a pump that pumps the hot melt from the melter to at least one applicator, and a pressure control system that controls a pressure of pressurized air for operating the pump. The pressure control system includes a regulator assembly that controls the pressure of the pressurized air, and a drive component that actuates the regulator assembly. The hot melt dispensing system also includes a controller that determines a pressure setting for the pressurized air. The drive component receives the pressure setting from the controller and actuates the regulator assembly to a position associated with the pressure setting.
