Dispensing two-part adhesives to assemble electric vehicles can be a challenge, particularly if the mix ratio is wide or the two components have different viscosities.
Taken literally, the terms "accurate dispensing" and "dispensing with accuracy" are not interchangeable. In practice, however, manufacturers and their machine operators know that the words describe the same desired result: Dispensing an exact amount of material, at a specified location, on a repeatable basis
High-tech adhesives are very reliable, and problems do not occur often. When used correctly, adhesives can resolve many design issues while also saving money, time and effort.
A variety of high-tech equipment is available to dispense two-part adhesives.
