Continuous Flow Metering for Solar Panel Framing

Solar panels are sealed into frames and fitted with junction boxes using adhesives and sealants. Continuous flow metering suits the high volumes and long beads of panel production. 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. From watery fluids to stiff pastes, abrasive filled compounds to moisture sensitive polyurethanes, the range is built to cope with the materials manufacturers actually use rather than an ideal one. Typical applications include bonding and sealing, filling and dosing, potting and encapsulation, casting and moulding, and form in place gasketing. It is about control. The right amount, the right ratio, in the right place, every time, without relying on operator judgement.

Every system is backed by installation, operator training, spares and technical support from the UK team. Speak to Rockingham Systems on +44 (0) 1536 628 734.
