a.tronNEXT dosing system, Limutrustning
Det automatiserade doseringssystemet a.tronNEXT
Med a.tronNEXT doseringssystem fungerar limrobotar snabbt och med hög precision. Det beror på doseringsmataren, limstyrenheten och trumpumpen – alla komponenter är perfekt matchade för att säkerställa maximal prestanda Baserat på dina individuella krav kommer vi att konfigurera det automatiserade doseringssystemet så att det passar dina fogningsjobb. Oavsett om lim, tätningsmedel eller vätskeisolerande material behöver bearbetas – a.tronNEXT-systemen åstadkommer det permanent snabbt och exakt. Det beror på att tack vare de specifikt utvecklade tätningarna, en underhållsoptimerad design och användningen av standardkomponenter är a.tronNEXT doseringssystem exceptionellt robusta, hållbara, underhållssnåla och mycket tillförlitliga.
the automated a.tronNEXT dosing system
With the a.tronNEXT dosing system, gluing robots work quickly and with high precision. That is because the dosing feeder, glue controller and drum pump – all the components are perfectly matched to ensure maximum performance Based on your individual requirements we will configure the automated dosing system so that it fits your concrete joining jobs. Regardless of whether adhesives, sealants or liquid insulating materials need to be processed – the a.tronNEXT systems accomplish that permanently quickly and precisely. That is because thanks to the specifically developed seals, a maintenance-optimized design and the use of standard components the a.tronNEXT dosing systems are exceptionally robust, durable, low-maintenance and highly reliable.
Gluing and dosing systems – now also available with integrated controller
Most gluing and dosing robots operate with a separate controller module. We now offer you the a.tronNEXT dosing system, in addition to the classic version, with an integrated controller in which the intelligence is mounted directly on the dosing feeder. In this design option, you can simply intervene in the controller on the system through a laptop, master computer or the panel. The advantages of such an integrated control solution are obvious: The plant needs less space overall, the investment costs sink by about 20 % and operation for the user is simpler. Furthermore, the dosing systems with integrated controller are ready to operate more quickly when starting production or after restarting because no indexing is required. Furthermore, the wiring expenditure, which is significantly less than with classic systems, also reduces assembly times and costs.
Only at NIMAK: Gluing and welding technology from one, single source
NIMAK is the only company in the world that provides innovative joining technology from the gluing and welding sectors from one, single source and together with first-class support in both technological areas. We take advantage of our decades of experience in resistance welding to open new perspectives with pioneering developments in the gluing technology sector. Our customers profit from optimized production processes through ideally matched plant components and uniform operating concepts. That is a win-win situation for everyone. And the a.tronNEXT perfectly adapts in the system environment when using gluing robots.

Advantages
Benefits in an overview:
Very durable: the highest availability
The availability of the a.tronNEXT dosing systems is higher than 99 %. That means you can assume that your system will work precisely continuously and generally fault-free. The patented multiple sealing face, specially developed seals, a maintenance-optimized construction and the use of standard components ensure that.
Fast and precise: high reproducibility and
Perfectly matched components in the controller and dosing feeder along with extremely exact prepressure adaptation with pressure sensors in the application head ensure that a.tronNEXT dosing systems work with high precision over a long period of time. The perfect interaction of the PLC and fast-acting valves also guarantee high control speed.
Reduced downtimes: low maintenance expenditures, simple replacement of wearing parts
We have optimized all wearing parts like nozzles and seals so that they can remain in use for a very long time. That reduces repair and machine failure times. On top of that, the maintenance expenditures of the a.tronNEXT systems are very low. The required work can be accomplished in a very short time.
Global spare part delivery: simple handling
In the truest sense of the word, the a.tronNEXT dosing systems are constructed simply and are based on standardized, large-scale production elements from the SIEMENS Simatik series. With this strategy not only do we ensure the high quality of the plant, but even guarantee that spare parts can be obtained anywhere in the world in a short time.
