What is Automated Dispensing System?
Dispensing adhesive is a process that requires precision and continuous repeatability, making automated dispensing system the optimal choice for manufacturers. They help optimize the production process as well as profitability.
So what is dispensing system, and why does it play a crucial role in the manufacturing process and various adhesive applications? In this article, GLUDITEC will explain automated dispensing system and its role in different industries.
1. What is automated dispensing system?
Automated dispensing system is a combination of devices that perform a function similar to its name, supporting or replacing workers in the dispensing process. It helps increase accuracy and reduce variability in repetitive processes. There are different types of dispensing systems available, depending on the level of automation and accuracy required.
However, to optimize the benefits it offers, a standard dispensing system typically includes the following components:
Dispensing Controller
Pressure Tank
Dispensing Robot
Pressure Pump
Dispensing Valve
Dispensing Accessories
2. How does a dispensing system work?
Similar to a 2K dispensing system, a single-component dispensing system consists of operational and interactive components to ensure that the adhesive is dispensed accurately in the desired locations and shapes:
1. Material preparation: Based on the design of the adhesive container (20L – 200L), the adhesive is transferred to a material container of the system (manually or using specialized adhesive suction equipment like GLUDITEC). The pressure vessel is connected to the pressure pump and other accessories such as valves and controllers are also connected and set up.
2. Operation of the pressure pump: The pressure pump is activated to create pressure within the adhesive container. This pressure pushes the adhesive from the pressure vessel through the connecting tubes to the dispensing valve.
3. Control of the dispensing valve: The dispensing valve is precisely controlled by a dedicated controller. When activated, the valve opens and allows the adhesive to flow through. When deactivated, the valve closes to stop the adhesive flow.
4. Dispensing robot: A robot or specialized mechanical system from GLUDITEC carries a dedicated adhesive dispensing nozzle and performs the dispensing operation. The robot can be programmed to move along a specific path or shape to ensure accurate and precise dispensing.
5. Management and control: During operation, the system controller is monitored and controlled by a programmed operator. Parameters such as pressure, adhesive volume, and dispensing speed are monitored to ensure accurate and stable dispensing.
6. The system can be equipped with additional GLUDITEC accessories, including:
3. Benefits of Automated Dispensing System
- High Precision: The adhesive dispensing system can be programmed to deliver adhesive with millimeter-level accuracy, ensuring precise application in exact locations.
- High Consistency: The adhesive dispensing system helps achieve high-quality and synchronized products. It can consistently repeat the dispensing process, significantly reducing errors and cost savings.
- Connectivity Capability: Manufacturers can connect their production processes through a central control center. This allows for batch data collection from individual equipment and efficient detection of any operational issues.
- Remote Operation Capability: Allows manufacturers to control and optimize the adhesive dispensing process remotely, eliminating the need for manual labor required by manual systems.
- Increased Productivity: The adhesive dispensing system can work continuously without breaks, leading to a significant increase in production speed at lower costs.
- Handling of Multiple Patterns: The adhesive dispensing system can be programmed to dispense adhesive in various patterns, such as dot lines, circles, and arcs, accommodating different mold designs.
4. Why is it necessary to use dispensing system?
In today’s context, as electronic circuits and components are becoming increasingly smaller and require neater assembly, the need for precise and consistent dispensing of adhesives has become more crucial.
With GLUDITEC’s dispensing system, you can benefit from:
1. Providing solutions for challenges in the bonding process that require high precision and consistent repeatability during manufacturing.
2. Reducing material waste and cost since the dispensing system only uses the necessary amount of adhesive.
3. Saving time and increasing productivity. The system operates continuously, reducing downtime for component changes or worker rest periods. As a result, work efficiency is significantly improved.
Some of the industries that can benefit from using a dispensing system include electronics, aerospace, medical, and automotive manufacturing.
