360° GLUING: ADHESIVE APPLICATION WITH COLLABORATIVE ROBOTS

360° Gluing automates gluing processes of round, cubic, or geometrically irregular parts. For this purpose, an adhesive application system is connected to a collaborative robot using an integration kit. With 360° Gluing, you can relieve your personnel of a manual, monotonous adhesive application process while increasing process reliability, productivity, and gluing quality at the same time.

PRECISELY APPLYING ADHESIVES OR SEALANTS WITH COBOTS

Would you like to apply adhesives or sealants to your components and workpieces with repeatable accuracy? Would you like to automate your gluing process for quality, safety, or cost reasons? Do you have small batches and would like to convert quickly? No problem.

360° Gluing stands for gluing with collaborative robots. The robot is connected to an adhesive application system via an integration kit. Collaborating robots, also known as cobots, can be easily programmed to perform any movement pattern. This makes it easy to automate manual gluing processes. Cobots apply adhesives or sealants precisely and repeatably to workpieces with simple to complex shapes. If necessary, the cobot touch panel is used to change the format quickly. Collaborative robots are so safe that they work hand in hand with humans. Depending on the application, they apply adhesives or sealants in bead, dot, curl patterns, or wild spraying. With 360° Gluing, you increase the quality, save time, reduce scrap, and lower unit costs. You can be sure of a fast return on investment.

ADVANTAGES OF 360° GLUING AT A GLANCE

  • Increases productivity through reliable adhesive application
  • Increases adhesive application quality through precise and repeatable execution
  • Easy programming and control of the gluing process
  • Reduces error susceptibility and costs compared to manual application
  • Relieves personnel and protects them from injury
  • Straightforward integration using Robatech's integration kit

MODULAR APPLICATION SYSTEMS FOR ADHESIVES OR SEALANTS

Our adhesive application systems are modular. Whether adhesive or sealant, we will put together the right system for you. The integration kit connects the system to a collaborative robot. We recommend a rotary union for heated hoses. It provides reliable protection against torsion and thus increases the service life of the hose. An automatic filling system is available as an option for the melter. It ensures operator safety and extends the adhesive refill intervals.

INTEGRATION KITS CONNECT ADHESIVE APPLICATION SYSTEMS WITH COLLABORATIVE ROBOTS

In just a few steps, you can use our integration kit to connect our adhesive application systems with cobots from various manufacturers. The integration kit contains:

  • A holder for the application head
  • Brackets for the heated hose on the robot arm
  • Brackets for cable routing
  • Visualization software for cobot touch panel

You control and program the entire gluing process via the cobot's user-friendly touch panel.

  • Dynamic movements of the cobot
  • Adhesive application pattern
  • System status of the melter
  • Settings for the melter, heated hose, and application head
  • Easy format change by recalling stored jobs
