The Semi-Automatic dispenser combines both a controller and reservoir into a single unit. The controller provides digital timing control for any Loctite® automatic dispense valve or pneumatic hand-held applicator. Dispense time within the range 0.1-99.9 seconds is available. The controller can be actuated either by a footswitch or fingerswitch. It is also capable of operating in a continuous mode for bead dispensing applications. The reservoir will accommodate 50 ml, 250 ml, 500 g, 1 litre, and 2 kg packages.
