Clean and efficient with servo-driven glue dispensers |
Servo-driven glue dispensing devices with the highest dynamics are being used in car production. Behind these high-performing devices are servo drives.
Servo-driven glue dispensing devices with the highest dynamics are being used in the production of new top-segment car models being produced by a respected car manufacturer in the south of Germany. Behind these high-performing devices are servo drives.

The plant for a new top-segment car model being produced by a respected car manufacturer in the south of Germany has a long and proud tradition for the quality of its products, and it is here that topsegment cars are produced and supplied to customers worldwide. When the company decided to install servo systems, Omron’s reputation for quality and reliability was uppermost in their minds.

Car body manufacturing
In car body manufacturing, glueing in particular is becoming increasingly important in addition to a wide variety of welding processes. Compared with hydraulic and pneumatic dispensing systems, the new servo-driven dispensing equipment installed in the plant offer various advantages with regard to space saving. For instance, there are no oil, air and associated feed lines, and there are advantages particularly regarding dynamics, quantity and control accuracy.
|
Because the adhesive is usually applied by robot, the dynamics of the dispensing system in relation to the widely varying robot speeds, are of particular importance. This is due to the quantity distribution being proportional to the speed of robot travel.

Decision to choose Omron
Following extensive practical tests and prototype development in close collaboration with key account manager at Norgren, the car manufacturer decided to use the Xtra-Drive servo. The man in charge of the plant engineering department, considers the main advantages lie in the extremely small design of the servo system with industrial network on-board, plus the option for a singlephase power supply, even at maximum output. And, of course, the familiar high quality and worldwide availability played a very important role in the decision to choose Omron.

In the meantime, more than 200 servodriven dispensing devices equipped with servos are being used successfully at the car manufacturers German plants. Also our advanced laser displacement sensors can detect the exact position and thickness of glue.
