Industrial Hot Melt: Prevent common errors with this strategy
How do I reliably monitor the application of hot melt adhesives?
The success of a hot melt system, and therefore the final product, will be determined by how the adhesive is applied.
To obtain a high quality product, you should expect nothing less than a uniform application across the entire surface.
With this ambitious goal in mind we present our specialized HM-Inspector system, developed to automate the gluing process as precisely as possible. This system is coupled with a line scanner aimed at the backing tape, conveniently providing uninterrupted data in real time.
Anomalies such as air pockets in hot melt lines, contamination/erroneous settings affecting application heads or aging segment pumps will negatively affect the hot melt application. Our strategy will greatly improve the hot melt process by ensuring that the temperature remains stable and the hot melt is applied homogeneously.
Thanks to its scalable design you can also add other features to increase the accuracy of your adhesive application (e.g. segment pump/application nozzle control).
Key features:
- High scanning speed up to 300 lines per second
- Up to 2048 deiscrete meausring points along one measuring line
- High system availability
- Variable interfaces for a PLC connection (also upradable on old facilities)
- Control of hot melt feeding pumps
