Hall 4, Stand C79 design to full production integration. Our innovations transform gasketing processes, ensuring optimal sealing effectiveness and durability for diverse industries.
What challenges are your customers facing?
Our customers face challenges relates to consistency, accuracy, efficiency, and customisation in their sealing processes. Manual application of seals can lead to variability in gasket thickness, resulting in potential leaks and quality issues. This inconsistency presents a challenge for ensuring reliable and effective seals. Moreover, manual application is timeconsuming, leading to lower production rates and higher labour costs, especially in high-volume applications. Additionally, the ability to customise seals of different shapes and sizes is crucial for meeting diverse design and manufacturing requirements. Overcoming these challenges is vital for our customers to enhance their sealing performance and optimise their production processes.
How can your technology help?
Our technology effectively addresses the challenges faced by our customers in their sealing processes. It ensures consistency and accuracy by placing the foam precisely, resulting in uniform gasket thickness and improved sealing performance. By eliminating manual application variability, it minimises leaks and quality issues. Additionally, our technology offers increased efficiency with faster sealing, leading to higher production rates and reduce labour costs. In addition, it enables customisation, allowing easy programming of gaskets in different shapes and sizes. Our 6-axis robot systems can apply foam to diverse substrates, from plastics to metals and glass. With our technology, customers achieve reliable seals, improved efficiency, and design versatility, enhancing product quality and competitiveness.
