Precision Dispensing for Advanced Manufacturing Applications
At Dispense Robotics, we specialize in high-performance dispensing systems engineered specifically for automated gasketing applications. Our integrated solutions empower manufacturers to apply complex seal patterns using high-viscosity materials with exceptional speed, consistency, and precision eliminating the inefficiencies of manual gasket placement or slow, labor-intensive methods.
What is Gasketing?
Gasketing also known as form-in-place (FIP) gasketing is the automated application of one- or two-component liquid sealing material, dispensed directly onto a flange, groove, or sealing surface. Once cured, the bead forms a flexible, durable seal that protects components from moisture, dust, vibration, chemicals, and temperature extremes.
This approach is ideal for applications demanding:
- Reliable environmental sealing
- Adaptability to complex geometries
- On-demand application and reduced material waste
- Shorter cycle times and improved production efficiency
Why Automate Gasketing?
Manual gasketing, tapes, and die-cut alternatives are often inconsistent, wasteful, and difficult to align especially on complex parts. Automated gasketing brings precision, repeatability, and real-time process control into your manufacturing line.
Key benefits of automation include
- Accurate, repeatable bead geometry even on 3D and multi-surface components
- Programmed paths adaptable to changing part designs
- Reduced material waste compared to overbuilt die-cuts
- Higher sealing reliability for mission-critical applications
Dispense Robotics Equipment for Gasketing
Our systems are purpose-built to handle high-viscosity adhesives, sealants, and gasketing materialsincluding RTVs, epoxies, silicones, and polyurethanes with ±1% volumetric accuracy.
Material Feeding Systems
Electric motor-driven pump systems designed for long-distance, bubble-free material transfer
- Precision metering: ±1% dosing accuracy
- Clean feeding from 20 kg containers

Precision Dispensing Valves for Gasketing
Dispense Robotics integrates high-precision dispensing valves engineered to deliver accurate, clean, and repeatable gaskets with controlled bead geometry.
Valve Options Include:
- Needle Valves: Ideal for continuous, thin bead application and clean starts/stops
- Progressive Cavity (PC) Valves: Volumetric dispensing with pulsation-free flow, great for sealing irregular shapes
- Jet Valves: Non-contact dispensing for tight, hard-to-reach areas or small part geometries
- Two-Component Mixing Valves: For reactive polyurethane or epoxy gasket materials with perfect mixing ratios
Each valve is optimized for your material type, required flow rate, and bead profile, offering suck-back control, non-drip finishes, and low maintenance requirements.
