Process control

Application lengths and application quantities for hotmelt and cold glue applications can be efficiently controlled and managed using the process control functions. The sophisticated operating concept, clear visualization, and an extensive job database offer a high level of operating comfort and facilitate fast format changes.

Pattern control - intuitive and integrated

Pattern control is an integral part of the Robatech Control System and is easy and intuitive to use. Pattern control supports various modes of operation: continuous or intermittent with up to 32 programmable glue lines per channel, dot or line mode, fixed length or automatic length adjustment. In addition, format-specific settings and application patterns can be stored in over 1,000 jobs and retrieved manually or by PLC.

Quantity control - convenient and integrated

Quantity control is available for models with gear pumps. It allows direct input of the desired application quantity in g/m² and the application width in mm, and automatically calculates the pump speed for the very precise and uniform adhesive application. This function dispenses with the complex weight control procedure to determine the application quantity.
