Automation kit for dispensing – precise dosing, flexible production
When it comes to dispensing – i.e. precisely dosing, potting, gluing, or coating – absolute accuracy is essential. Adhesives, pastes, or fluids must be applied in a precisely defined quantity and shape – often with tolerances in the micrometer range. At the same time, the requirements in terms of flexibility are increasing, as materials, geometries, and dispensing heads change quickly.
Machine manufacturers must therefore ensure the highest precision, stable processes, inline quality control, and integration into digital production environments. Requirements such as energy efficiency and sustainability are also becoming increasingly important.
The "Dispensing" solution set based on ctrlX AUTOMATION combines precise motion control, open interfaces, and efficient engineering. This allows CNC dispensing processes – from gluing, potting, and coating to spraying, sealing, and filling – to be controlled with high precision, adapted flexibly, and operated efficiently.
Automation for CNC dispensing in a set
The "Dispensing" solution set is a preconfigured automation bundle for highprecision dosing applications. It is based on ctrlX CORE, ctrlX MOTION, ctrlX DRIVE, motors, and ctrlX I/O. These are complemented by ctrlX HMI, ctrlX IPC, and open communication interfaces such as OPC UA.
The powerful motion control enables precise path guidance, on-the-fly synchronization, and reproducible dispensing results – regardless of whether applying dots, beads, or patches. Features such as product coordinate systems, tool offsets, or switch-on-path ensure maximum process precision.
Thanks to the open architecture, different dispensing heads, materials, and applications can be flexibly integrated: from batteries to semiconductors to solar. Dispensing paths can be programmed flexibly using IEC 61131, G-code, Python, or graphical tools.
"Parameterizing instead of programming" is the motto in engineering. This significantly reduces the amount of work required and speeds up commissioning: for efficient and futureproof dispensing solutions.
