Gluing robot

An adhesive robot automatically applies adhesives, sealants, paints and insulating foams. The advantages are clear:

• More precise application of the adhesive
• Less material wastage
• Fast and reliable feed-through
• Exact repetitions
• Consistent quality

The areas of application for bonding robots are extremely diverse. Thanks to the modular principle of igus® robotic components, you can implement almost any gluing process and adapt it as required.

At the Volkswagen plant in Emden, a robolink® articulated arm robot is used in Passat B8 PA production.
Two adhesive seams are applied by the gluing robot for gluing acoustic measures in the area of the rear battery console in order to avoid tedious manual labour by employees and to increase the quality of the gluing process.

• Automated feeding of the part to be glued
• Constant application of the adhesive mass
• Reduction of manual, error-prone processes
• cost-effective bonding processes through the use of Low Cost Automationsolutions

The LOCTITE universal spray dispensing system and an igus® room linear robot enable precise adhesive application. High repeatability can be achieved thanks to the high web fidelity of the gantry and the optimised pressure of the dispenser.

• Reliable bonding of different materials
• Flexible filling quantities
• Consistent adhesive pattern and precise dosing
• Cost-effective bonding processes through the use of Low Cost Automationsolutions
