Beyond the Bottle – How LOCTITE^® Equipment Solutions are Transforming Pump Manufacturing

LOCTITE^® Has the Adhesives – Did You Know We Have the Equipment Too?

LOCTITE^® sealants and adhesives may traditionally be more associated with the manual process of squeezing product from a bottle or applicator gun, yet LOCTITE^® offers a range of application equipment with the capability to deliver the intelligent control, consistency, short cycle times and cost efficiency that modern pump production lines demand.

LOCTITE^® equipment solutions are in use around the world, helping a wide range of industries increase consistency and efficiency and reduce cycle times and waste.

Benefits of Automated Adhesive Dispensing

Automated or semi-automated application of adhesives, sealants and coatings enables more effective management of the pump manufacturing process and provides a consistent baseline for improvement.

The benefits of using automated or semi-automated processes include:

• Applying the exact amount of product in precisely the right place every time
• Minimizing waste
• Reducing cycle times
• Assuring consistent quality
• Reducing the challenge of having to attract and retain skilled operators
• Providing automated management of the process
• Capturing real-time performance data to drive continual process improvement

LOCTITE^®’s top of the line Dual-Channel Controller is a versatile, multi-function controller that can actuate one or two dispensing valves as well as appropriate peripherals, such as an advancing slide, rotorspray, an in-line flow monitor or a reservoir. The controller digitally measures and precisely regulates reservoir pressure. The controller can be integrated into fully automated assembly line operations by means of the Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) interface.
