Dispensing system options
Table of Contents
Dispensing system options are additions to the system that enhance quality by helping to overcome common bonding and process challenges. They are controlled by the system controller which communicates with the other subsystems and ensures all parameters are correctly maintained as programmed.
Visual inspection systems
Monitoring of safety critical applications
The use of adhesive bonding is currently increasing in various industries, often in safety critical applications. Bonded joints can be classified as safety critical if failure of the bonding would pose a danger to the end consumer of a specific product.
A visual inspection system can be used to monitor safety critical applications and meet the strictest quality standards without loss of productivity.
A typical visual system ensures that…
the bead width: has the right geometry and width
the bead continuity: is continuously applied
the bead position: is in the right position
Sensor and Camera used
The type of visual system chosen varies according to the quality check required, which usually relates to the safety classification of the application. Depending on the requirements, the visual inspection system can make the quality checks with either sensors or cameras.
Temperature management
Temperature management may occur throughout the whole dispensing system by heating or not heating the system with the controller according to the material application requirements. However, to maintain a consistent temperature throughout the system, an option such as the Peltier Conditioning System may be used.
Peltier Conditioning System (PCS)
Varying external temperatures may negatively influence the dispensing process.
Some adhesive, sealing and dampening materials have to be dispensed at a constant temperature. A PCS ensures a consistent temperature throughout the dispensing system – one of the factors which guarantee ideal bead shape and application quality.
Reliable material application all year round
To ensure consistent material properties and reliable applications all year round, electric temperature regulation with a PCS can be integrated into the dispensing system. The PCS can be chosen according to customer needs, based on different expected temperature extremes and material flow rates as it cools and heats the material. The PCS is available as an air or water conditioning system.
