Background

UFACTORY collaborative robots can support dispensing processes in assembly. Manufacturers need consistent glue paths, while manual dispensing varies by operator technique and can cause broken beads, glue buildup, and quality fluctuation that affects bonding strength and appearance.

Industry Pain Points

Consistency, Fumes, and Flexibility

Manufacturers require high consistency in glue paths. Manual dispensing varies greatly by operator technique and can easily lead to broken beads or glue buildup. Quality fluctuations directly affect bonding strength and appearance.
Some adhesives release solvent vapors and other irritating gases, creating health risks.
Multi-variety production requires flexible adjustment of glue paths and parameters.

Why UFACTORY Cobots

Cost and ROI 01

Cost and ROI

Competitive hardware cost gives small and midsize manufacturers and integrators clear advantages in total procurement, integration, and project payback.

Plug-and-Play Integration 02

Plug-and-Play Integration

The ISO flange and standard I/O simplify integration of dispensing valves, glue supply systems, and other bonding peripherals.

Open Development Ecosystem 03

Open Development Ecosystem

ROS/ROS2 packages and Python/C++ SDKs help integrators tune glue paths, dispense speed, and motion matching for specific processes.

Vision Integration 04

Vision Integration

The UFACTORY 850 connects to 2D/3D vision for workpiece and dispensing-path localization on flexible lines with position variation.

Flexible Changeover 05

Flexible Changeover

Lightweight construction and simple programming enable fast station transfer, product changeover, and adaptation to different dispensing tasks.

Glue Path Consistency 06

Glue Path Consistency

±0.02 mm repeatability and stable motion help ensure accurate dispensing position, uniform volume, and fewer breaks, buildups, overflows, or path deviations.

Labor Value Release 07

Labor Value Release

Robots move workers away from repetitive dispensing and adhesive vapor exposure while easing staffing limits and capacity bottlenecks.
