Glass Bonding
Adhesives are applied to glass to create a bond with metal, plastics and other materials. The adhesive must be dispensed in a specific bead size for proper adhesion and a clean aesthetic. This is a multiple step process that requires precision and repeatability in each segment.
Glass Bonding Solutions for Tier 1 Automotive
Glass bonding is a precise process that must be reliable and repeatable for high volume production. Different materials used include RTV silicones, urethanes, butyls, primers and activators. Throughout each of stage of the process manufacturers should make sure their equipment has the following elements.
- Accuracy and reliability for reduced rework and material costs
- Efficiency and versatility to increase production speeds
- Control and visibility for repeatability for better processes
