New products include a form-in-place gasket material for EVs and adhesives for medical device assembly.

Dürr Systems provides automated paint line, final assembly, and inspection and test systems for Turkish EV manufacturer.

ANN ARBOR, MI—Coherix is hosting free online quarterly workshops to improve the application of adhesives and sealants in product assembly operations.

Many engineers and operators lack the knowledge they need to harness the full benefits of robotic dispensing. Eastern Michigan University (EMU) recently launched a program to address the issue.

FOSHAN, China—Some 100 six-axis robots weld, bond and package EV batteries at the FAW-Volkswagen Automobile Co. Ltd. assembly plant here. The factory produces 300,000 battery packs annually.

When dispensing form-in-place gaskets—for example, on the die-cast housing of an automotive control unit—it’s important to apply the material precisely along the contour of the part. On the housing, the contour runs partly in a straight groove, partly around corners and screw locations and partly along various radiuses. In the area where the plug housing will be installed, the material often must be applied on a ramped surface. All this makes consistent, gap-free dispensing difficult.

The new DC803 Dispensing Cell from Scheugenpflug GmbH promises to make the process faster, easier and more reliable.
