Automated Structural Bonding Line
Project Scope
Automate the structural bonding process by integrating surface preparation, adhesive dispensing, quality inspection, and force-controlled assembly into a fully automated production line.
Business Challenges
- Achieving consistent surface preparation for reliable bond strength
- Maintaining accurate sealant bead dimensions and dispensing path
- Ensuring precise component alignment and controlled bonding force
- Detecting dispensing defects before the bonding process to prevent quality escapes
ARi’s Solutions
- Delivered a fully automated structural bonding line using Mitsubishi industrial robots
- Integrated plasma surface treatment for consistent surface activation
- Implemented automated sealant dispensing with controlled bead application
- Deployed an AI-powered vision inspection system to verify bead width, height, continuity, and dispensing path deviation
- Implemented force-controlled robotic bonding to achieve consistent assembly force and bond quality
ARi’s Value Proposition
- Enabled fully automated structural bonding with Improved bond reliability through integrated plasma treatment, AI vision inspection, and force-controlled assembly
- Achieved 100% inline inspection of sealant bead dimensions and dispensing path before bonding
- Reduced process variation through automated dispensing and closed-loop quality verification
- Improved assembly accuracy and bonding consistency through force-controlled robotic joining
- Designed to achieve 95% First Pass Yield (FPY) at the system level
