Dispensing System administers patterns and beads.

Press Release Summary:




Program-A-Swirl® dispenses adhesives or sealants in circular swirling pattern or continuous bead. Swirling is achieved by oscillating nozzle assembly, creating concentric circular pattern. Assembly self-centers its action, allowing tool to alternate on-the-fly between dispensing swirl pattern and consistent bead path. System can be used with standard nozzle for single-component materials or with static mixer nozzle to dispense 2-component, reactive resin materials.

Program-A-Swirl® Dispenses Patterns and Beads



Sealant Equipment & Engineering Inc.'s recently patented Program-A-Swirl® system is designed to dispense adhesives or sealants in a circular swirling pattern or as a continuous bead.

By dispensing in a swirled pattern of closed loops, the Program-A-Swirl maximizes adhesion between two substrates and uses less material to 'wet out' a greater area. Swirling is achieved by oscillating the nozzle assembly creating a concentric circular pattern. The assembly "self-centers" its action-this allows the tool to alternate on the fly between dispensing a swirl pattern and a consistent bead path.

The versatile Program-A-Swirl system can be used with a static mixer nozzle to dispense two-component, reactive resin materials, or with a standard nozzle for single-component materials. Program-A-Swirl is typically mounted as an end-of-arm tool in robotic applications or fixture-mounted in automation tooling. It can be integrated with many Sealant Equipment dispense systems.

Program-a-Swirl's dispensing patterns will meet the geometry of virtually any application requirement, precisely adjusting the size of the looped pattern or bead.
