Motion Industries Inc., distributor of maintenance, repair, and operation replacement parts, announced that its industrial automation solution provider Motion Ai opened a new facility for its growing business.

ViscoTec recently introduced cartridge applicators featuring Festo pneumatic control modules for the exact and clean feeding of adhesives, pastes, and silicones of different viscosities. 

The electronics market is booming, and its trends toward component miniaturization, increasingly short cycles, and highest dispensing quality require constant innovation. Dispensing systems are key technologies in an environment of increasing automation and demand for high product output.

The ability to efficiently and accurately dispense adhesives, sealants, and other materials is absolutely vital in assembly operations. Companies that rely on manual methods run into issues with operator error, slow speeds, excessive waste, and other problems.

The methods for dispensing adhesives, epoxies, grease, silicone, oils, sealants, and a multitude of other assembly fluids cover a wide spectrum of techniques—from manual applications like squeeze bottles, toothpicks, and hand-plunger syringes to semi-automated tabletop dispensing robots. Each dispensing method presents unique challenges as manufacturers attempt to scale the sophistication of their fluid dispensing processes to meet requirements for quality, volume throughput, and cost efficiency.
