The methods for dispensing adhesives, grease, oils, sealants and other fluids cover a wide spectrum of techniques: from manual applications like squeeze bottles, toothpicks and syringes to semiautomatic tabletop robots.
Manufacturers that use adhesives and sealants to assemble their products know how critical it is for these materials to be dispensed with accuracy and repeatability.
Automotive manufacturers are using more adhesives, sealants, oils, and coatings than ever before. For example, today’s vehicles typically contain as much as 40 pounds of adhesive.
CINCINNATI—Adhesives manufacturer Bioformix Inc. has formed a strategic partnership with dispensing and material handling expert Precision Valve and Automation to offer cabinet and furniture makers a faster, more precise, and cost-saving system for applying adhesives.
