Abstract
The dispensing of adhesives and sealants (hot, warm, or cold) has been established as a proven market for the application of robotics. Robots are being used across industries for applying adhesive and sealants to increase quality and to reduce labor and material costs. The automotive segment has led the way for the application of robotics. This chapter will deal with that segment and some of the criteria associated with automating particular applications, emphasizing the relationships between the application objectives and the adhesive/sealant dispensing equipment. Successful applications take into consideration the capabilities and limitations of the adhesive/sealant materials, the dispensing equipment, the tooling and fixtures and the robot.
