The high amount of scrap product produced due to inconsistent manual gluing is a common problem.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>To add to this, it is often difficult to find enough skilled workers to carry out the gluing process. With low staff numbers and low productivity, the gluing station can become a bottleneck for the other steps in your manufacturing process.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But, one company noticed a gap in the market.

For the last 20 years, they have specialized in technical and fabrication solutions for both industrial customers and the Department of Defense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In their team, DVF Corporation has specialists in fields like mechanics, electronics, optics, hydraulics, pneumatics\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2026 and robotics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They are a preferred integrator for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.universal-robots.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Universal Robots<\/a> collaborative robots, with which they create integrated solutions to help other manufacturers to improve their processes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"the-problem-inconsistent-hot-melt-glue\">The Problem: Inconsistent Hot Melt Glue<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>DVF Corporation&#8217;s latest project comes with the arresting tagline &#8220;Stop Talking, Start Gluing.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The project is called <a href=\"https:\/\/roboticgluesystems.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Robotic Glue Systems<\/a> and it provides integrated gluing systems to any company that usually dispenses glue by hand, especially for engineered foam packaging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With this solution, they are trying to solve a persistent problem: inconsistent gluing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Robotic Glue System\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/YI25mLMg0LY?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have ever manually glued a product, you will know how difficult it is to achieve a consistent gluing pattern. It is especially hard to maintain consistency over a long shift with many gluing operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Defective gluing patterns lead to a high scrap rate which means less productivity, more waste, and a higher cost per part.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jay Wolfe, President of DVF Corp, explains:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p><em>&#8220;Before this, clients could not rely on precise glue dispensing coming from manual application. The goal was to eliminate scrap and eliminate the need for skilled operators. With our solution, someone puts a part on the table and pushes a button. When complete, they replace it with another blank part.&#8221;<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"dvf-corporation-s-robot-setup\">DVF Corporation&#8217;s Robot Setup<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The team at DVF Corporation incorporated their various skillsets to create a system that is simple to deploy and easy to program \u2014 the RGS UR1024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"the-robotic-hardware\">The Robotic Hardware<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The core of the setup is a Universal Robots collaborative robot that gives the user the flexibility to use the robot alongside the human operator, without safety fencing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The System can be configured for hot melt, cold glue or epoxy applications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"the-software-setup\">The Software Setup<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The robot can be programmed using the teach pendant provided by Universal Robots. However, for more flexible programming, the team offers <a href=\"https:\/\/robodk.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">RoboDK<\/a> for offline programming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>RoboDK allows users to program the robot offline using a simulated robot and tool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-the-gluing-application-works\">How the Gluing Application Works<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Operating the gluing robot is a simple task. When the system is ready, the user only needs to program the desired path into the robot using one of the available options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are 2 options for programming:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>For online programming on the robot, the user can create the program line-by-line using the robot&#8217;s teach pendant.<\/li><li>For offline programming with more control, RoboDK allows the user to program directly with their CAD files. The program is then loaded into the robot for operation.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"example-operating-procedure\">Example operating procedure<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the benefits of gluing with a robot is that it allows the human operator to load the next items to be glued while the robot is performing the current gluing operation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"RGS Overview\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/8puXxaMHShM?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>To do this, you need to program the same gluing pattern at two different locations in the workplace, a task that is very simple to do in RoboDK. You just change the target reference frame for each workpiece.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>An example operating setup would be as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>The operator loads a blank part into Station 1.<\/li><li>They press the start button on Station 1.<\/li><li>While the program is running, they load a blank part into Station 2.<\/li><li>They press the start button on Station 2.<\/li><li>As the robot completes the glue dispensing task, the operator assembles the part in Station 1 and removes it.<\/li><li>The cycle repeats.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>In this way, the operator can achieve a steady cadence of gluing and assembly which results in the gluing operation being carried out continually.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"who-is-a-gluing-robot-suitable-for\">Who is a Gluing Robot Suitable For<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Jay Wolfe explains that the gluing station has many potential users:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p><em>&#8220;Our first two systems went to a company that couldn&#8217;t hire enough people to do the work manually. Our main customers fall under the field of &#8220;Engineered Foam Products&#8221; but really the solution is suitable for anyone who dispenses by hand.&#8221;<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are using already gluing items by hand in your business, a gluing robot could be a useful and productive addition to your operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-to-set-up-your-own-gluing-robot\">How to Set Up Your Own Gluing Robot<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, if you are interested in learning more about Robotic Glue Systems, <a rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/roboticgluesystems.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">you can find out more about their solution on their website.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Or, perhaps you are thinking about creating your own gluing station?
