Joining technology for Seal foaming

Installations for the application of foam seals are systems for processing, mixing, dosing, extrusion and application as foamed sealing lips, including the required handling technology. Foam seals are predominantly made of two-component materials, can be adapted to any workpiece geometry and, in many cases, enable cost-effective and technically better solutions for sealing releasable connections. A system always includes material supply and preparation, a material flow metering, dosing and mixing heads, a control system as well as a handling system, with the aid of which the dosing head runs off the pre-programmed workpiece contours and applies sealing foam drums. As a rule, handling systems with at least three axes such as portals, Cartesian robots or articulated robots are used. Installations for the application of foam gaskets serve for the production of foamed seals for dismountable components or assemblies, which are to be protected, insulated or insulated from the ingress of air, gases, dust and moisture. To protect against electromagnetic radiation, conductive seals can be used. Foam gaskets allow quick and cost-effective sealing without pre-assembled seals and can be adapted to any component geometry. Typical parts are housings, control cabinets, plastic switch boxes, lamps, dust-proofing discs, filters, household appliances and packaging. Important user industries are the automotive supply and automotive industry, medical technology, as well as manufacturers of household appliances and filters.
