Dispensing / Sealing

Dispensing tasks like gluing and sealing can be efficiently carried over by cobots.

Dispensing and Sealing Collaborative Robots

Apply adhesives, liquids and sealers with more consistency, accuracy and efficiency using dispensing collaborative robots from FANUC. Our dispensing and seam sealing cobots can automate applying a variety of materials with extreme precision and repeatability.

Manual dispensing requires trained operators to maintain accuracy and consistency over long hours. This causes safety issues such as ergonomic challenges and exposure to hazardous materials. FANUC’s automated dispensing cobots solve these problems and also unlock greater speed, consistency, and cost savings.
