Continuous Flow Metering for Sandwich Panel Production

Sandwich panels bond skins to insulating cores across large areas. Continuous flow metering supplies two part adhesive at a steady rate for spreading or string beading across the full panel. 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. Materials handled include polyurethane and epoxy resins, acrylics, silicones, methyl methacrylate, polysulphides and thermal pastes, from low viscosity fluids right up to thick thixotropic pastes, across a wide spread of two part mix ratios. Buyers usually come to Rockingham Systems with one of three problems: too much material wasted, too many rejects, or a manual process that cannot keep up. Metered dispensing tackles all three. The payback is simple.

Less material wasted, fewer rejects, faster cycle times and a process you can repeat and document. Rockingham Systems provide installation, training, spare parts, on and off site servicing and ongoing technical support. Call the UK sales team on +44 (0) 1536 628 734.
