Believed to be an industry 'first', a Windows-based heavy-duty robotic dispensing work cell reduces operator training and reprogramming time to minutes.
Mix and dispense according to choice
Benchtop meter, mix and dispense machines offer three levels of control packages give a choice between fully automated, semi automated or very basic operator controlled dispensing.
A number of interface options are provided for integration with X-Y-Z tables and robots.
The equipment utilizes positive displacement rod-metering pumps that provide unprecedented ratio accuracy and flow control from shot-to-shot or from the beginning to the end of an adhesive bead.
The design allows the adhesive to be fed directly from bulk shipping containers (5-gallon pails or 55-gallon drums) with transfer pumps.

3D models of off-the-shelf telescopic slides
Telescopic ball bearing slide designer and manufacturer, Accuride International, has produced optimised 3D models of its 'off-the-shelf' products which can be downloaded via its website.
The material is fed into the metering pumps through our patented spool reload/dispense directional valve.
In the dispense mode, the spools shift directing the metered materials through the outlet hoses to the dispense valve.
This design eliminates phasing issues and simplifies the process.
Each pump has a shaft reload sensor that prevents the machine from cycling until both pumps are completely refilled.
This built in safety factor prevents an off ratio condition from occurring if the 5-gallon or 55-gallon shipping containers are not replaced when empty.
Our lightweight Twinmixer dispense head is utilized to dispense the mixed material onto the product.
The material is metered through a set of stainless steel hoses to the Twinmixer.
Disposable static mixers are used; therefore, solvent cleaning is not required.
The Twinmixer can be hand held or remote mounted on automation equipment.
High viscosity material dispensing with precise ratio and flow accuracy and automation interface is all accomplished with the front reload positive displacement technology.
