Programmable system dispenses swirl
patterns
Programmable system dispenses adhesives or sealants in a circular swirling pattern or as a continuous bead and uses less material to 'wet out' a greater area.
Sealant Equipment and Engineering's recently patented Program-A-Swirl system is designed to dispense adhesives or sealants in a circular swirling pattern or as a continuous bead By dispensing in a swirled pattern of closed loops, the Program-A-Swirl maximizes adhesion between two substrates and uses less material to 'wet out' a greater area

No-drip mix-dispense valves are adjustable
Adjustable stroke mix-dispense valves provide controlled flow of two-component adhesives and sealants such as silicones, epoxies, urethanes and acrylics.
Swirling is achieved by oscillating the nozzle assembly creating a concentric circular pattern.
The assembly 'self-centers' its action - this allows the tool to alternate on the fly between dispensing a swirl pattern and a consistent bead path.
The versatile Program-A-Swirl system can be used with a static mixer nozzle to dispense two-component, reactive resin materials, or with a standard nozzle for single-component materials.
Program-A-Swirl is typically mounted as an end-of-arm tool in robotic applications or fixture-mounted in automation tooling.
It can be integrated with many Sealant Equipment dispense systems.
Program-a-Swirl's dispensing patterns will meet the geometry of virtually any application requirement, precisely adjusting the size of the looped pattern or bead.
