Shot Metering for Rail Interior and Panel Bonding

Rail interiors use bonded panels, fittings and seals that must meet strict fire and quality standards. Shot metering delivers controlled, documented adhesive application on large and complex rail components. Positive rod displacement metering proportions both materials to an exact volumetric ratio every stroke. Abrasive and heavily filled products that wear out other pump types are handled without losing ratio. Drive options run from pneumatic and air over oil through single servo to dual servo, giving the right balance of cost, control and programmability for each application. 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. Rockingham Systems will review the application, the material and the target output, then recommend equipment that fits the job and the budget, rather than selling the biggest machine on the list. Get the mix and the dose right and everything downstream gets easier.

Fewer failures in test, fewer returns and less time cleaning up. Talk through your material, ratio and output with the Rockingham Systems UK sales team on +44 (0) 1536 628 734. Service and consumables contracts are available.
