Precision Dispensing with Cyanoacrylates
Cyanoacrylates often referred to as super glues are renowned for their fast cure times and strong bond strength, making them indispensable in electronics, medical devices, consumer goods, and general manufacturing. But while their performance is unmatched, their handling requires specialized dispensing technology due to their low viscosity, moisture sensitivity, and fast reaction rates.
At Dispense Robotics, we understand these unique challenges and offer solutions engineered for high precision, reliability, and repeatability across production environments.
The Challenge of Dispensing Cyanoacrylates
Industrial cyanoacrylates cure rapidly in the presence of trace moisture and can bond a wide range of substrates including metals, plastics, rubber, and ceramics. However, these very traits introduce difficulties
- Premature curing at dispense tips
- Inconsistent flow due to low viscosity
- Clogging of nozzles and valves
- Sensitivity to metal components in wetted parts
Our Solution: Specialized Dispensing Components
To tackle these issues, our systems integrate purpose-built components and accessories:
Diaphragm Valves
These valves isolate the fluid from actuator components, reducing the risk of moisture-induced curing inside the valve. They’re ideal for clean, consistent deposits of low-viscosity adhesives.
PTFE-Lined Dispense Tips
Cyanoacrylates tend to cure when exposed to metal or contaminants. Our PTFE-lined tips provide a chemically inert flow path, minimizing the chance of clogs and ensuring clean dispensing.
Tapered SmoothFlow Tips
For gel-based CAs, our SmoothFlow tapered tips provide steady flow with minimal turbulence, optimizing line and dot placement without stringing.
Precision Pressure Control
For benchtop and low- to medium-volume use, systems like the DT-400Q and DT-500FV are recommended, they deliver tight control over flow rate, reducing waste and ensuring product consistency.
Integration with Automated Systems
For high-volume applications, our cyanoacrylate dispensers and valves seamlessly integrate with automated platforms, delivering precise micro-deposits or continuous beads in fully programmable workflows. This integration ensures:
- Higher throughput
- Reduced operator variability
- Clean, repeatable results even in demanding environments
Trusted in Critical Applications
