Adhesives & Dispensing Assembly

RSS

WEST LAFAYETTE, IN—Engineers at Purdue University are developing new types of adhesives that are sustainable. They’re turning to nature for inspiration.

A fully automated system dispenses and cures masking material for jet engine components.

Volt Tough electrically insulative, single-sided filmic tapes are engineered to address the challenges of insufficient electrical insulation in EV battery packs.

For Chromatic’s process to work, the company needed accurate and reliable technology to meter, mix and dispense two-component polyurethanes.

Summit Engineered Automation has developed what it calls the Summit Agile Process to create true partnerships with customers by focusing on risk analysis early and throughout a project. The process was put to the test recently when the systems integrator was approached by start-up Corvida Medical of Coralville, IA, to build equipment to produce its latest product.

New adhesives have been formulated for bonding electronics, EV motors and stainless steel.

Engineers can now program, monitor, perform diagnostics and access data from multiple dispensers directly through a PLC, PC or mobile device.

Robotic dispensing equipment is an ideal way to increase productivity, enhance quality and prevent rejects. However, these capabilities come at a cost that can’t always be justified. 

This eBook series will help manufacturers navigate the path to automation, whether it be a robotic screwdriving cell or a multistation automated assembly line.

Numerous dispensing applications are required in the production of traction motors for electric and hybrid vehicles. Bus bar potting is one of them.
