The robot glue filling assembly line is a production line that combines automated robot technology with precision glue filling technology. Its core is used for glue sealing, insulation, or structural fixation of electronic components (such as sensors, LED modules, circuit boards), automotive parts, new energy components, and other products. Its characteristics revolve around four core advantages: accuracy, efficiency, stability, and flexibility. Specific details can be explained from the following dimensions:
1、 High precision glue filling ensures product consistency
The core competitiveness of the robot glue filling assembly line lies in "precision control", which can solve the problems of "too much glue, too little glue, leakage glue, and uneven glue volume" that are prone to occur during manual glue filling, specifically reflected in:
Correct control of adhesive volume: Paired with high-precision screw pumps and dispensing valves (such as piezoelectric valves and diaphragm valves), stable output with small adhesive volume (nano upgrade) can be achieved, with an error usually controlled within ± 1%, meeting the adhesive needs of micro components (such as chip packaging and sensor lead sealing);
Correct path positioning: Multi axis robots driven by servo motors (commonly 4-axis and 6-axis) can achieve a repeat positioning accuracy of ± 0.02mm. They can evenly apply glue along product gaps, solder joints, or certain areas according to preset CAD paths, avoiding glue overflow to non target areas such as circuit board pins and optical component surfaces;
Stable process parameters: Real time monitoring of glue filling speed (adjustable from 0.1-100mm/s), pressure (0.1-1MPa), and temperature (some hot melt/epoxy adhesives require temperature control of 25-80 ℃) through PLC or industrial control system, ensuring that the glue filling process parameters are completely consistent for different batches and workstations, and the product yield can be improved to over 99%.
2、 High degree of automation, significantly improving production efficiency
Compared to manual glue filling (which requires manual positioning, control of glue gun, and frequent glue replenishment), the robot glue filling assembly line achieves "full process automation" with significant efficiency advantages:
Continuous and uninterrupted operation: The robot can run continuously for 24 hours, only requiring regular replenishment of glue (some lines are equipped with automatic glue bucket supply systems). The daily production capacity is 3-5 times that of manual labor (such as LED drive power supply glue filling, manual labor can produce about 500 units per day, and robot lines can reach more than 2000 units);
Multi process integration: It can integrate the entire process of "feeding positioning gluing curing detection unloading", such as automatic feeding of conveyor belt → product positioning by vision system → robot gluing → automatic curing by UV lamp/oven → CCD camera to detect whether the glue amount is qualified → automatic sorting of unqualified products, without manual connection, reducing intermediate waiting time;
Reduced labor costs: One robot glue filling line only requires 1-2 operators (responsible for monitoring equipment and supplementing consumables), which can replace 5-8 manual glue filling workers, especially suitable for labor-intensive and high-precision industries such as consumer electronics and automotive electronics.
3、 Strong stability, adaptable to complex working conditions and environments
The structural design and control system of the robot glue filling assembly line can cope with the "complex scenarios" in industrial production, reducing the impact of external interference on the process:
Strong anti-interference ability: adopting a closed body (dust-proof, oil proof) and isolated electrical system, it can adapt to workshop dust, temperature and humidity fluctuations (5-40 ℃), mechanical vibration and other environments, avoiding glue volume fluctuations or equipment failures caused by environmental factors;
Wide compatibility of adhesive materials: It can adapt to different types of sealing adhesives (such as epoxy adhesive, silicone adhesive, polyurethane adhesive, hot melt adhesive, etc.), and can quickly switch adhesive types by replacing rubber hoses and cleaning pipelines (some lines have automatic cleaning function), without the need to replace core equipment;
Fault self diagnosis and protection: The system has built-in alarm functions for abnormal pressure (such as hose blockage), insufficient glue volume, motor overload, etc. When a fault is triggered, it will automatically shut down and prompt the fault point, reducing the risk of equipment damage. The mean time between failures (MTBF) can reach over 5000 hours.
4、 High degree of flexibility, quickly adaptable to multi category production
Under the current production demand of "multiple varieties and small batches" in the manufacturing industry, the "scalability" and "fast switching ability" of robot glue filling assembly lines are particularly important:
Quick changeover: By importing a new product CAD glue path (without mechanical adjustment) and replacing the compatible fixture (modular fixture, changeover time<10 minutes), you can switch from producing "mobile phone camera modules" to "automotive sensors", meeting the needs of multi category mixed line production;
Modular design: The line can increase or decrease the number of robots according to production capacity requirements (such as single robot workstation → dual robot parallel workstation → multi robot assembly line), or add auxiliary workstations (such as preheating station, secondary glue filling station), resulting in low expansion costs in the later stage;
Data management: supports integration with MES (Manufacturing Execution System), real-time uploading of glue parameters, production capacity, yield and other data for production Planning and quality traceability. At the same time, process parameters can be remotely adjusted through software to adapt to different product glue requirements.
5、 Reduce material waste and enhance environmental friendliness
Due to poor control accuracy, manual glue filling often results in a waste rate of 15% -20%, while robot glue filling assembly lines can significantly reduce waste and better meet environmental requirements
High utilization rate of adhesive: Proper control of adhesive quantity and path planning can reduce the waste rate of adhesive to below 5%, especially for high cost adhesives such as thermal conductive silicone and high-temperature resistant epoxy adhesives, which can save a lot of material costs in the long run;
Environmental protection design: Some production lines are equipped with glue mist collection devices (for volatile rubber materials) and waste glue recycling systems (for uncured rubber materials) to reduce the impact on workshop air and operators, and meet VOCs emission requirements;
No manual contact pollution: fully automated operation, avoiding contamination caused by manual hand contact with rubber or products (such as oil and dust adhesion), especially suitable for medical electronics, food grade sensors and other products with high cleanliness requirements
