SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PREVENTING OVERFLOW OF ADHESIVE
20180050366 · 2018-02-22 ·

A system for preventing overflow of adhesive applied to a PET rolling film includes a drive unit, a detection unit, and a processing unit. The detection unit detects whether UV adhesive spread on a PET film flows out to limit lines on the PET film. The detection unit generates trigger signal upon detecting that the UV adhesive on the PET film flows to any of the limit lines, and then transmits the trigger signal to the processing unit. The processing unit controls the drive unit to accelerate a rotational speed of a guide roller for the PET film upon receiving the trigger signal from the detection unit, so as to accelerate a moving speed of the PET film.

Combination nozzle and device for applying a viscous material to a component edge

A combination nozzle and a device for applying a viscous material, particularly an adhesive, to a component edge includes two wide-slot nozzles lying close to one another. The first nozzle applies the viscous material and the second nozzle supplies a gas such as air for shaping the applied material bead. A nozzle mount has a guide roller placed on and movable about the edge of the component during application. A connector element via a connecting mechanism allows movement of the nozzle mount parallel to the surface normal on the component edge to press the guide roller against the edge during the application process by a spring mechanism. With the proposed combination nozzle and the proposed device, an optimal wetting of the component edge with the viscous material can be achieved, and additionally the component tolerances are compensated without the necessity of an elaborate sensor system.
