• Possibility of independent manual purging of volumetric grease and anaerobic glue.
• Nozzle, loader and sheeter tooling for easy management of different diameters.
Characteristics
CASE STUDY
Automatic Simultaneous dispensing System for Grease and Anaerobic Adhesive
The customer required an automatic system capable of simultaneously dispensing volumetric grease and anaerobic adhesive on mechanical components, with a fully pneumatic process managed by a combination of advanced mechanics and sensor technology. The system needed to ensure effective management of different diameters, facilitate manual component loading, and allow independent purging of the two fluids to guarantee process quality.
01
Provided Solution
The system designed and implemented to meet the customer’s needs includes the following features and components:Â
Pneumatic Management and Motorization
Fully Pneumatic System
The process is entirely pneumatic, except for the motor dedicated to rotating the component and the control sensors. This approach enables smooth and precise operation, combining mechanics and dispensing.
Motor for Component Rotation
A dedicated motor controls the rotation of the component, ensuring uniform distribution of the fluids.
Purging and Tooling
Manual Purging
The system allows independent manual purging for both the volumetric grease and the anaerobic adhesive, simplifying process control and maintenance.
Tooling and Diameter Management
The system is equipped with tools for nozzles, feeders, and peelers, allowing for easy handling of different diameters. Consumable replacement and tooling can be done without difficulty
Loading and Sensing
Manual Loading
Components can be manually loaded through a dedicated tool and top window, simplifying access and management.
Advanced Sensing
A series of sensors detect the presence and correct positioning of the components, ensuring that the dispensing process occurs without errors.
Dispensing Process and Configuration
Simultaneous dispensing
The system enables the simultaneous dispensing of volumetric grease (internal) and anaerobic adhesive (external) onto the component, optimizing production time and improving efficiency.
Customized Nozzle Tooling
The nozzle is designed to serve as both a dispensing nozzle for internal radial grease dispensing and a rotation and insertion tool for the component. This versatile design simplifies the operation and reduces the need for complex tooling.
Mirror Tooling System
Mirror Tooling
Two mirror-image tools were developed to allow the processing of the component and a central assembly line for operators. This design enables a continuous flow and efficient component management.
