Overview
Robots apply adhesives, sealants and lubricants along complex 3D paths with controlled speed and volume. Vision can inspect the bead in-line.
We combine robots or SCARA arms with metering pumps, nozzles and bead inspection.
How It Works
- The part is located in a fixture
- The robot follows the path with synchronised pump flow
- A camera or sensor verifies the bead
- Nozzle cleaning and purge cycles are automated
What's Included in the System
- Robot (6-axis or SCARA)
- Metering pump and dispensing valve
- Nozzle cleaning station
- Vision bead inspection
- Fixtures and enclosure
Benefits
- Consistent bead volume
- Less adhesive waste
- Improved seal quality
- Traceable process data
Industry Facts & Standards
- SCARA robots are the fastest choice for planar, top-down assembly; six-axis robots suit parts approached from several angles
- Torque monitoring records every fastening, which gives traceability for each unit
- Vision can locate parts and inspect adhesive beads in the same cell
- Cobots are useful for low-volume, high-mix stations, provided the risk assessment covers the tool and workpiece
- Standards and safety: ISO 10218 for industrial robots; ISO/TS 15066 when a collaborative robot works beside people.
- Figures are typical ranges from public industry sources, not Zhiyan project results.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you dispense on 3D surfaces?
Yes, 6-axis robots follow curved paths with constant speed and stand-off distance.
