Final Solution
Our solution delivers precision, reliability, and flexibility through advanced automation and smart engineering. Using Nordson VersaBlue melters and TrueCoat FS applicators, glue is applied with exceptional accuracy and consistency. Integrated tension regulation and thermal control ensure stable material behavior, while dedicated handling modules guarantee precise positioning and movement of skins.
Built on a modular architecture, the system is ready for future upgrades and process adjustments. Its advanced control platform continuously manages glue rate, line speed, and temperature in real time optimizing performance and minimizing downtime.
Over eleven months, the project followed a structured design and integration process, with every module glue application, tension management, thermal control, and material handling engineered and assembled in-house. Automatic roller adjustment further enhances adaptability, ensuring smooth, efficient operations. Fully compliant with CE and Swiss standards, the system delivers safe, reliable, and scalable performance for long term success.
