Automation kit for dispensing – precise dosing, flexible production
When it comes to dispensing – i.e. precisely dosing, potting, gluing, or coating – abso-lute 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, ge-ometries, and dispensing heads change quickly.
Machine manufacturers must therefore ensure the highest precision, stable process-es, in-line quality control, and integration into digital production environments. Re-quirements such as energy efficiency and sustainability are also becoming increasing-ly important.
The "Dispensing" solution set based on ctrlX AUTOMATION combines precise motion control, open interfaces, and efficient engineering. This allows CNC dispensing pro-cesses – from gluing, potting, and coating to spraying, sealing, and filling – to be con-trolled with high precision, adapted flexibly, and operated efficiently.
Automation for CNC dispensing in a set
The "Dispensing" solution set is a pre-configured automation bundle for high-precision 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 future-proof dispensing solutions.
