Sealing in automotive manufacturing
Sealing seams and applying insulation or protective materials are crucial for corrosion protection in vehicle manufacturing – especially in moisture-prone areas such as the underbody or wheel arches. Liquid PVC is often used, which is delivered to the robot applicator via heated material hoses
Typical Challenges
• Conventional retraction systems cannot be used (due to heating)
• Rigid, thick-walled hoses due to high pressure and viscosity
• Regular hose replacement due to material fatigue
• Risk of loss of performance and contamination
• Maintenance often only possible with considerable effort
