Robot gluing cell

The production process for Husqvarna Automower robotic lawn mowers makes use of an automated gluing system from Altec Engineering.

The Altec system is designed to automatically dispense adhesive onto a rubber “Bumper Strip” which in turn is assembled to one of the main plastic mouldings which make up the outer body housing of the Automower.

A FANUC LR mate 6 axis robot is used to manipulate an adhesive dispensing nozzle around the profile of the rubber strip, ensuring consistency in the quantity of adhesive and repeatable positioning of the adhesive profile on the part.
