Requirements.

  • Very accurate and repeatable mix-ratio control.
  • Ability to handle extremely high-viscosity materials.
  • Continuous, repeatable dispensing with controlled bead geometry and flow rate.
  • Support direct manual dispensing, cartridge filling and robotic application.
  • High process reliability for expensive aerospace materials and components.

Fluidic solution.

  • PK2D variable-ratio meter-mix-dispense system.
  • PK2D with articulated zero-gravity boom for manual dispensing.
  • PK2D with Cartridge Loading System.
  • PK2D-R for automated or robotic applications.
