Frequently Asked Questions

Automated adhesive dispensing is the use of machinery or robotics to apply adhesives with accuracy and repeatability. These systems help reduce adhesive waste, improve process control, and deliver consistent glue application across high-volume production environments.

Adhesive dispensing automation helps improve production efficiency by speeding up application cycles, reducing manual labor, eliminating inconsistencies, and minimizing rework. Automated systems also cut downtime associated with clogged nozzles or inconsistent bead paths.

Yes. Many of our industrial adhesive dispensing systems are engineered to reduce material costs 40–60% through precise metering, uniform bead patterns, and elimination of over-application—one of the largest sources of adhesive waste.

We provide a wide range of industrial adhesive dispensing systems, including:

• Robotic adhesive dispensing cells
• Cobot adhesive application stations
• Hot melt adhesive dispensing systems
• Precision adhesive dispensing modules
• Foam-in-place gasket and foam-melt solutions
• 3-axis and 6-axis gantry platforms
• Custom-engineered automated adhesive lines

These systems support adhesives such as PUR hot melts, reactive materials, pressure-sensitive adhesives, structural glues, and foam reactive compounds.

Robotic adhesive dispensing uses robots to apply adhesives to parts with extreme accuracy. Robots help achieve consistent glue application, faster cycle times, and better quality—especially in complex geometries or high-throughput environments.

Cobot adhesive application involves using collaborative robots (cobots) to apply adhesives safely in shared workspaces. These systems are ideal for flexible production lines, small-batch runs, or environments that need quick reprogramming and redeployment.

A hot melt adhesive dispensing system melts adhesive pellets or blocks, then dispenses the molten adhesive with controlled volume and temperature. These systems are used for packaging, product assembly, and sealing applications where fast curing and clean application are essential.

Precision adhesive dispensing refers to the ability to dispense exact bead sizes, patterns, and volumes—down to fractions of a millimeter. This ensures high-quality, repeatable results while helping manufacturers reduce adhesive waste and eliminate quality variation.

Foam-in-place gasket (FIPG) technology involves creating gaskets directly onto parts by dispensing foam-reactive adhesive materials. Our foam-melt systems improve seal quality, cut labor costs, and offer major material savings (often 40–60% reduction in adhesive use).

Absolutely. Many companies turn to Fuse Automation specifically for cost-saving adhesive automation to reduce waste, lower material consumption, reduce labor reliance, and improve first-pass yield—all of which contribute to strong ROI.

Yes. We design packaging adhesive automation solutions for case forming, carton sealing, labeling, and product assembly. Our systems deliver reliable adhesive bonds while lowering hot melt consumption and speeding up packaging throughput.

Our solutions support a wide range of industries, including:

• • Automotive adhesive application systems
    (headlamp bonding, interior trim, gasketing, sealing)
  • Furniture manufacturing glue automation
    (panel bonding, edge gluing, upholstery components)
  • Electronics adhesive dispensing systems
    (PCB potting, enclosure sealing, component bonding)
  • Appliance assembly adhesive automation
    (gasketing, insulation attachment, structural bonding)
  • Packaging, aerospace, marine, footwear, and more

Yes. Our machines are designed to integrate with existing conveyors, robots, pick-and-place systems, safety equipment, and supervisory controls. Whether you need a standalone cell or full-line automation, we can accommodate your workflow.

We start with a detailed review of your process—adhesive type, application geometry, current manual or automated setup, cycle times, and waste levels. Then we recommend an appropriate solution such as robotic dispensing, cobot application, hot melt solutions, or a foam-in-place gasket system.

You can contact us to schedule a consultation. We’ll review your needs, recommend the best adhesive automation solution, estimate potential savings, and outline an implementation plan that fits your production and budget goals.
