Robatech Control System (RCS) – control platform for adhesive melters

Graphic overview of the system components of the Robatech Control System (RCS)
The Robatech Control System is a control platform integrated into the melter that makes industrial gluing processes more efficient and transparent. The all-in-one platform not only facilitates the operation and control of the adhesive application but also simplifies seamless integration with third-party systems.

Better connectivity and more efficiency in the gluing process

The Robatech Control System (RCS) offers improved connectivity for machine builders and clear I/O interfaces for users. All system components for the gluing process are already integrated. The range of functions related to the adhesive application can be quickly and easily expanded at any time. For example, quality control functions offer maximum process reliability and more line efficiency.
