Application Applicators

Application Applicators Graco, a company that has been operating in sealants and adhesive equipment for nearly 100 years, closed 2021 by presenting three new and noteworthy application applicators to end users. The use of single or multi-component chemicals in automotive, commercial vehicle and electronics sectors for bonding, sealing, sound and vibration damping applications is increasing every day. In parallel with this, equipment manufacturers are increasing their R&D activities in application applicators as equipment develops to ensure that these chemicals are applied in desired mixing ratios and quantities. We will address the basic features of these three application applicators, which are compatible with Graco's sealant and adhesive application equipment, widely used in Turkish industry as in world industry. Graco Voltex Two-Component Dynamic Mixing Valve It is a dynamic mixing valve with a rotating static mixer that provides safe mixing of two chemicals requiring high mechanical mixing energy for homogeneous mixing. It features a reliable servo motor, innovative error detection technology and precise control capabilities. The use of disposable static mixers eliminates the need for cleaning chemicals, reducing maintenance and downtime, lowering maintenance costs and optimizing material consumption during production. Graco Axial Axial Rotating Head Valve Specially developed for automotive glass bonding polyurethane applications, the lightweight and high-flow AXIAL Axial Rotating Distribution Valve provides high reliability for robotic glass bonding applications, eliminating error risk during production. • Unique swivel design prevents entanglement of hoses, air lines and electrical cables. • Does not create thickness variation around corners in bead application. • High level of accuracy and repeatability. • Compatible with high production speeds. • Manufactured with wear-resistant seals and hardened components for long service life. • Easy assembly for robotic and automatic applications. Graco Switch 3D Valve Switch 3D is designed with three different application nozzles and a rotating head. Thanks to this exclusive configuration, it provides flexibility, versatility and efficiency in medium and high viscosity single-component adhesive and sealant applications. With a head that can rotate independently of cables and hoses and three different nozzles, it provides ease of application at difficult angles, efficiency and reduced processing times during production. With its lightweight construction and ability to apply two different chemicals independently of each other, it has become an ideal robot end-effector equipment for body panel hem-flange sealant applications in the automotive sector, paint shop underbody and body interior sealing, underbody protective and sound and vibration damping sealant applications. With 36 years of accumulated knowledge, Genmar continues to provide comprehensive and complete service for these products with its experienced sales, engineering and service team, offering solutions that benefit Turkish industry during production.
