Comau + F.T. FAMAT (case105)

Surface treatment and silicone gasketing for automotive with Comau Racer-7-1.4

Our approach

Semi-automatic flexible system for gasketing of plastic parts after surface treatment. This special surface treatment called BOND-PSV guarantees optimal cohesive bonds between the bulk and the silicone.

 

Looking for high speed and precision, Racer-7 by Comau was the best choice for F.T. Famat.

Ever since the robot has been installed two years ago, FT Famat could increase the production up to 120.000 parts/year.

The total flexibility of this system allows several components to be processed with the same robot by selecting the proper program.

 

F.T. FAMAT said

"Our self designed gripping system, allows two different tools to be used in series on the same component. In fact, after an innovative surface treatment, the one-part polyurethane foam is applied".

"Our customers require gaskets that perfectly seal the gap and they cannot afford the minimum leakage. We needed to fill small cavities and the silicone had to perfectly match the path. We went beyond expectations with the Racer-7 and a high-tech dosing system reaching a tolerance < ± 0.1 mm. This jump in precision had little to no impact on the speed and we are able to keep the process below the cycle times"
