Automatic or Robotic Application with Syringes

In Section 2.4.5, we studied the manual syringe application. For high-speed jobs, such as surface mounting in Electronics, the syringes are operated by high-speed valves and they are installed on a high-speed robot which can move, for instance on the Fisnar robot I and J 2200, at 5 to 500 mm/s X and Y, with a repeatability of +0.01 mm per axis, and a resolution of 0.01 mm for X, Y and Z axis. The parts to be bonded or potted or sealed are placed under the syringe. 

Other robotic applications Fig. 91 shows the robotic application of a structural adhesive to bond the inside part or a car door onto the exterior shell of the door. The robot can be programmed to apply the bead of adhesive and an experienced worker monitoring the process can improve the application, for instance in moving

Further discussion on robotic applications of adhesives and sealants are done in a separate chapter Robotic Application , and also in the chapters Adhesives for Electronics and Automotive Adhesives and Sealants later in the Handbook.
