Robotic technologies improve
fluid dispense applications for
manufacturing
Many manufacturing operations rely
on manual dispensing of adhesives or
other fluids. This dispense method is
adequate in some applications;
however, it has a number of
drawbacks. In manual dispensing, the
quality of dispense is only as high as
the quality of the operator’s work.
Dispense accuracy is therefore
often highly varied, even when
comparing different products
produced by the same operator in
a single day. Poor dispense
accuracy can result in a great deal
of waste and rework, leading to
higher manufacturing costs.
Companies looking to improve dispense quality and ensure operator-
independent product quality can benefit from investing in semi-automated
robot dispensing technology, such as is offered by Amada Miyachi
Europe. With robot dispensing, product quality is always the same, as
long the adhesives being used are within specifications. Robot dispensing
results in higher productivity, less waste and rework, and better overall
product quality; as a result, though companies must invest in it up front, it
often has a rapid ROI and eventually reduces manufacturing costs.
