The reference configuration shown here for true-to-contour application of FERMASIL 2-component silicone sealing foam in the grooves of detergent tab housings in dishwashers consists of the DM 502 mixing and dosing system with LR-HD 3-axis linear robot and WT 1-LEVEL shuttle table. Parts are picked up and processed in continuous shuttle mode in one plane. Alternatively, we can offer the WT 2-LEVEL shuttle table with pick-up plates in two planes situated one above the other in shuttle mode.

The highly dynamic LR-HD 3-axis linear robot used or, alternatively, the highly efficient LR-HE plus ensures that the MK 800 PRO precision mixing head is guided over the component true to contour. At the same time, the mixing head applies the silicone foam to the pre-programmed contour fully automatically with high dosing accuracy. After the dosing cycle, the coupling point of the foam gasket closes seamlessly and is thus almost invisible. The applied material foams, expanding to several times its original volume, and forms an elastic soft foam gasket with the desired foam hardness at room temperature.
