Shot Metering for Robotic Bead Dispensing

Robots need a metering system that keeps up and stays accurate as bead speed changes. Servo driven shot meters integrate with robot controllers to lay consistent beads around corners, curves and complex profiles. 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. Every material behaves differently. Viscosity, fillers, pot life, moisture sensitivity and mix ratio all shape the right set up, so Rockingham Systems look at the product datasheet and the process before recommending kit. Typical applications include bonding and sealing, filling and dosing, potting and encapsulation, casting and moulding, and form in place gasketing. Consistent output means consistent product.

Quality teams get a stable process and production managers get predictable throughput. 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.
