Dispensing process is used to apply various materials (glue, sealant, mastic, foam etc.) on automotive parts. Adhesives create stable joints between the individual parts.
Typical dispensing equipment is composed of a robot, nozzle, dozer and an unloader pump unit. The nozzle is the spraying tool, while the dozer controls the quantity of glue material applied to the part. Robot path & speed is controlled together with the dozer & nozzle to apply glue at correct places, and in right shape & quantities.
Gluing is increasing in all types of automotive bodyshops; also due to increasing in material mix.
ABB has set up the industry benchmark by developing the first integrated dispensing solution (
Integrated Dispensing Function Package) which provides outstanding performance results both from a quality and cycle time stand point.
