“In our production process, applying the silicone gasket to water pump covers was an extremely critical stage, both in terms of quality and repeatability.”

• Precise silicone deposition on complex geometries
• Continuous bead control (cross-section, continuity, position)
• Need for integration with a vision system for quality inspection
• Complete cycle management: dispensing → handling → curing

“The main critical issue was ensuring bead uniformity on high production volumes, avoiding defects that would compromise the component’s sealing performance.”

• High-precision silicone dispensing system
• Integration with an anthropomorphic robot for complex path execution
• Artificial vision system for checking bead presence and quality
• Complete line with automated handling and transfer through hot-air ovens for polymerization

“The integration of dispensing, vision and handling was crucial in stabilizing the process.”

• High bead uniformity and quality
• Significant reduction in waste
• Fully tracked and controlled process
• Greater reliability of the final product

“Today, the process is under control from both a quality and production standpoint, with a level of repeatability that was previously unattainable.”
