Adhesive Dispensing Systems (PU, Epoxy, Silicone)
High-accuracy metering and dispensing systems for PU, epoxy, and silicone-based adhesives. Available with servo-controlled dispensers, heated hoses, and shot-size monitoring for consistent application in automotive, electronics, and glass bonding.
This refers to specialized, high-precision industrial equipment designed to accurately and consistently apply adhesives made from specific chemical compositions: Polyurethane (PU), Epoxy, and Silicone. These systems are crucial in manufacturing where precise bonding, sealing, or encapsulation is required.
Key Features and Components Mentioned
⦿ Metering Pump/System: This is the core component responsible for measuring the exact volume of adhesive (and often hardener for two-part systems) to be dispensed. "High-accuracy" means it can deliver extremely precise and repeatable shot sizes or continuous flow rates.
⦿ Ratio Control (for 2-part adhesives): For adhesives like epoxies or some polyurethanes that consist of two parts (resin and hardener) that need to be mixed in a precise ratio, the metering system ensures these components are delivered in the correct proportion.
⦿ Dispensing Valve/Nozzle: The component that applies the adhesive onto the workpiece. Different types of valves (e.g., needle valves, jet valves, diaphragm valves) are used depending on the adhesive viscosity, desired bead size, and application speed.
⦿ Servo-Controlled Dispensers: This is a key advanced feature. Integrating a servo motor into the dispensing mechanism allows for:
⦿ Extremely precise control over the flow rate and shot size.
⦿ Dynamic adjustment of dispensing speed (e.g., speeding up on straight lines, slowing down on curves).
⦿ High repeatability between dispensing cycles.
⦿ Better response to changes in viscosity or pressure.
⦿ Many adhesives, especially epoxies and some polyurethanes, have high viscosity (are thick) or require specific temperatures to flow properly for optimal application and curing.
⦿ Heated hoses maintain the adhesive at a consistent, optimal temperature from the reservoir to the dispensing valve, ensuring smooth flow, consistent viscosity, and preventing premature curing in the line.
⦿ This is a quality control feature. Sensors or feedback mechanisms are integrated to verify that the exact programmed amount (shot size) of adhesive was dispensed during each cycle.
⦿ If the actual shot size deviates from the programmed one, the system can trigger an alarm, stop the process, or mark the part for rejection, ensuring "consistent application.
