Fire protection 2C flat stream dispensing application

Application and process development

We specialize in material and part design analysis, selecting suitable joining methods to effectively join and seal diverse metal and composite materials. Additionally, we provide comprehensive process and application development services. Our approach includes developing a scope of work tailored to your process needs—whether by addressing your existing specifications or assisting you in their development and offering recommendations if they are not already defined. We also support you in determining accessibility, feasibility, cycle time, equipment specifications, and process parameters.

Material testing

We offer material testing services for liquid dispensing materials, including parameter setting, material release testing, and comprehensive assessments such as abrasion testing, two-component mix ratio analysis, wet-out evaluation, and compression testing. These material testing services allow us to optimize dispensing equipment settings—such as pressure, temperature, and flow rate—ensuring consistent and precise adhesive application. This approach helps minimize waste and reduces the risk of defects.

Joint analyses micrograph imaging

Joint development

We conduct thorough analyses of mechanical joints, including rivets and screws, to ensure the optimal method is selected for joining similar and dissimilar materials, such as aluminum, high-strength steel, and ultra-high-strength steel. Our services include detailed cross-sectional analysis and micrograph imaging, as well as shear and tensile testing, to ensure joint integrity and performance.

Technology integration

With our complete portfolio of in-house solutions for mechanical joining, dispensing, and machine vision, we specialize in integrating these advanced technologies, including feasibility testing of process combinations. By combining mechanical joining and dispensing with machine vision technologies, we enhance operational efficiency and precision, leading to improved product quality and reduced scrap rates.

Self-pierce riveting product demonstration

Prototype production

We provide comprehensive pilot production services, including the installation and programming of complete systems prior to the start of production. Our services also encompass prototyping with your parts, subcomponents, or entire assemblies to ensure smooth and efficient production processes. Through prototype builds, we can iterate together on improving the joining or dispensing process before it hits your production floor.

Self-pierce riveting product demonstration

Product demonstrations

In addition to our extensive testing, validation, and development services, we offer live, hands-on product demonstrations at our Innovation Center. These demonstrations allow you to experience our products in action, offering valuable insights into their functionality, performance, and suitability for your specific applications.
