EV lifespan, paving the way for a more sustainable future.
AUTOMATED DISPENSING TECHNOLOGIES EV manufacturing and assembly is inherently a high-volume environment, and manufacturers are continuously exploring ways to enhance the eff ectiveness and speed of their processes. Used in conjunction with adhesives, automated dispensing systems have proven to be an invaluable tool for creating high-performance automotive parts. T ese systems can be programmed to dispense a precise amount of fl uid at a set location with unrivalled accuracy. In addition to improving the production rate, this also signifi cantly reduces the margin for error resulting in fewer rejected parts and minimised material waste. Whilst automated dispensers require an initial investment of both time and money from the manufacturer, Ellsworth Adhesives’ experienced technical team are on hand to support this integration. T ey off er comprehensive set-up and aftercare to ensure users are fully equipped with the skills required to operate and maintain these systems to their maximum potential. With the automotive
robust end-product. Modern automotives are composed of a composite mix of materials including metal, glass, rubber and plastics. T anks to their distinctive properties, adhesives provide optimum joining of dissimilar substrates. Multi- material bonding means manufacturers can opt for lighter substrates without compromising on strength or performance. Using a blend of lighter-weight components also helps signifi cantly reduce fuel consumption and increase
