PCF metering system

Model No:	PCF

Used in conjunction with a material supply system and robotics platform, the Graco PCF Metering System assures a precise, continuous flow of material. Closed-loop technology provides real-time adjustments for changes in material temperatures, viscosities, dispense rates or robot speeds – providing your operation with a highly precise, continuous dispense. System components include: Advanced Display Module, Fluid Plate, Graco CAN Cable and Gateway.
