Continuous Flow Metering for Rail Vehicle Assembly

Rail vehicles use long bonded and sealed joints on roofs, sides and floors. Continuous flow metering keeps those joints consistent across large structures. Output can be matched to robot speed, so bead size stays constant on straights, curves and corners without operators constantly adjusting settings. Continuous flow metering systems use mass flow technology to simplify robotic application of sealants and adhesives. Flow is measured and controlled in real time rather than dispensed in fixed shots. Common materials include two part epoxies and polyurethanes for bonding and potting, silicones for gasketing and sealing, MMA for fast structural bonds, and filled thermal compounds for heat management. Markets served include home appliances, general industry and assembly, automotive and eMobility, electronics, the filter industry, aerospace and defence, transportation and specialist vehicles, and offsite construction. Get the mix and the dose right and everything downstream gets easier.
