Solutions for automotive manufacturing
Perfecting the final touch
Graco has a long track record for reliable, high-performance equipment that handles low to high viscosity materials. Whether it concerns applying windshield urethanes or filling up fluids under the hood, we have a full line of innovative dispense solutions.
Glazing
The glazing application demands meticulous attention to detail and quality standards to guarantee optimal fitment and structural integrity. Graco applies high-precision and highly consistent adhesive strips, suitable for both manual and automated processes, providing reliable and durable solutions for glass bonding applications
Bonding
Bonding applications ensure structural integrity, longevity, and aesthetic appeal. These applications involve the use of advanced adhesives, such as polyurethane, to securely bond various components together.
From attaching body panels and trim pieces to joining different materials like metal, plastic, and composite, bonding applications offer numerous advantages over traditional mechanical fastening methods. They distribute stress more evenly, reduce weight, minimize vibration, and enhance the overall strength of the vehicle's structure.
Graco provides innovative pumping and metering systems designed for both manual applications and automated setups, seamlessly integrating with robotic technologies. These systems offer robust solutions for metal bonding —crucial components in the assembly of hoods, tailgates, doors, and other vehicle sub-assemblies.
Sealing
Sealing applications represent a critical stage in the final assembly of automobiles, ensuring optimal performance, longevity, and protection against environmental elements. These applications involve the use of specialized sealants and gaskets to create barriers against moisture, dust, noise, and other external factors. Graco's advanced sealing technology applies sealants with utmost precision, avoiding material waste, elevating quality, and optimizing efficiency.
