Gluing linear robot - tapo-fix

tapofix GmbH from Wolfsburg uses an igus® room linear robot for the automated application of sealing compound to metal parts.
Thanks to the simple operation of the robot, every production employee can work with it immediately. The tedious manual labour of employees in the process of applying the sealant is significantly reduced and the quality of the sealant dispensing process is considerably increased, as no manual errors can occur.

The original sealant dosing process was very laborious and time-consuming and required a high degree of employee concentration.
It was therefore almost impossible to guarantee consistent sealing seam quality. Employee workload was also very high due to the length of the process, and this could further reduce quality.

Using an igus linear robot to automate the dosing procedure not only frees up employees, but also ensures precise, consistent sealant distribution.
Human-robot cooperation and the greater sealant application speed increased production capacity by a factor of four.
