From bonding to potting, Graco's complete line of sealant and adhesive equipment is engineered to maximize your production efficiencies – with innovative features that save time, material and labor.
Virtually every product assembled requires bonding or sealing at some stage of the process. Graco offers automated technologies for single-component and two-component bonding and sealing for a broad array of products, markets and end-uses.
Hem flanges are the edge of metal sheets that are bonded together by bending the edge of one sheet over the edge of another, and using a streaming bead or swirl bead of adhesive to seal the sandwiched metal.
Graco offers manual and automated technologies for single-component and two-component bonding and sealing for a broad array of products, markets and end-uses.
In the potting process, a reservoir is filled with either a single-component or two-component resin to protect electronic components, connections or terminations.
Many types of electrical and electronic devices, from medical implants to automotive engine modules, are insulated and protected from the environment by being encapsulated or embedded within polymeric resins.
Encapsulation protects electronic components, connections or terminations from moisture and dirt by encasing and sealing them with a single- or plural-component resin.
Potting
A complete potting system consists of carefully selected components including dispensing equipment, valves and automation.
In the potting process, a reservoir is filled with either a single-component or two-component resin to protect electronic components, connections or terminations.
Thermal management is the process of dispensing either a single- or plural-component thermally conductive material onto printed circuit boards within electronic control modules.
The cable fill application involves encasing and sealing the cable connections and terminations with a two-component silicone and/or urethane.
Precise metering, controlled flow and robotic dispensing are crucial to forming the exact profile required by the application. Count on Graco for accurate, reliable performance.
Resin infusion is a specific form of resin transfer molding (RTM). Alternate names include vacuum infusion process (VIP) and vacuum assisted RTM (VARTM).
Many consumer products such as razors, toothbrushes, hairbrushes and power tools are designed with a soft, non-slip surface. The manufacturing process used to create this non-slip surface is called overmolding.
A prepreg material is a composite of partially cured resins that are pre-impregnated into reinforcement fibers using coating line or filming techniques.
Reaction injection molding involves the injection of liquid polyurethane systems into a mold. The components then polymerize within the mold to form a part.
Composite fiber winding (also known as filament winding or wet winding) is a process used to fabricate cylindrical objects such as pressure vessels, golf clubs, underground storage tanks, and pipes.
Manufacturers who need to expand capacities are looking to automate the way they add multi-resins/hardeners to process vessels and in-line fiber wetting equipment.
