Industrial gluing solutions

Automation is becoming essential in so many elements of manufacturing and production and we are seeing more and more Industrial gluing robots transforming manufacturing. By replacing labour-intensive manual processes, adhesive robots improve consistency, reduce waste and increase production throughput. All of this can be achieved while maintaining high-quality results.

From automotive assembly and metal fabrication to furniture and machinery production, our low-cost automation solutions are able to provide flexible, scalable robotic systems that can be tailored and designed to virtually most gluing or dispensing applications.

Examples of adhesive and gluing automation

Adhesive application in the automotive industry

At the Volkswagen  plant in Emden, a robolink® articulated arm robot is used in Passat B8 PA production.
Two adhesive seams are applied by the gluing robot for gluing acoustic measures in the area of the rear battery console in order to avoid tedious manual labour by employees and to increase the quality of the gluing process.

  • Automated feeding of the part to be glued
  • Constant application of the adhesive mass
  • Reduction of manual, error-prone processes
  • cost-effective bonding processes through the use of Low Cost Automation solutions
  • To the application

    • Adhesive application in machine production

    Wolfsburg-based tapofix GmbH uses a room linear robot from igus® for the precise application of sealant.
    The faster and perfectly dosed application of the sealant by the robot has eliminated tedious and time-consuming manual labour. The result is higher production capacities and consistently high processing quality:

    • Precise dosing of the adhesive quantity
    • Precise and constant distribution of the adhesive mass
    • Consistent production quality
    • Cost-effective integration and rapid amortisation
  • To the application

    • Adhesive application in lamp production

    LOCTITE universal spray dispensing system and an igus® room linear robot enable precise adhesive application. High repeatability can be achieved thanks to the high web fidelity of the gantry and the optimised pressure of the dispenser.

    • Reliable bonding of different materials
    • Flexible filling quantities
    • Consistent adhesive pattern and precise dosing
    • Cost-effective bonding processes through the use of Low Cost Automation solutions
  • To more gluing applications 

    • Why use robots in adhesive applications?

    An adhesive robot automatically applies adhesives, sealants, paints and insulating foams. The advantages are clear:

    • More precise application of the adhesive
    • Less material wastage
    • Fast and reliable feed-through
    • Exact repetitions
    • Consistent quality

    The areas of application for bonding robots are extremely diverse. Thanks to the modular principle of igus® robotic components, you can implement almost any gluing process and adapt it as required.
