In the field of automotive filter manufacturing, sealing performance is directly critical to product lifespan and safety. Traditional gluing processes have long faced pain points such as insufficient precision, adhesive waste, and poor compatibility. To address these challenges, our technical team has launched a new generation of End cap gluing machine after three years of research and development, redefining industry standards through five core technological breakthroughs.
1. High-Torque Transmission Structure: Solving Stability Challenges in Heavy End Cap Gluing
Aiming at the problem of insufficient torque during rotational gluing of large-mass filter end caps, our company innovatively adopted a gear set transmission framework to replace traditional bolt connections. The first gear is directly connected to the motor output shaft, and the second gear transmits power to the rotating shaft through meshing to drive the clamping mechanism to rotate. This design increases torque bearing capacity by 300%, completely eliminating the risk of transmission part breakage and ensuring zero failures in Filter end cover gluing machine with a diameter exceeding 300mm. Additionally, a rotary joint is integrated at the bottom of the rotating shaft to provide a stable fluid channel for the clamping mechanism, enabling continuous production of heavy end caps.
2. Intelligent Adhesive Layer Control Technology: Achieving Precise Regulation of Glue Line Width and Boundaries
To overcome the bottleneck of adhesive layer uniformity, the new generation of Filter element gluing machine is equipped with an adhesive layer regulation mechanism:
Dynamic Width Adjustment System: The width of the glue line is controlled by adjusting the distance (5-30mm range) between the arc-shaped boundary baffle and the output end of the glue gun. Users only need to rotate the width adjustment block to adapt to different specifications of end caps.
Instant Boundary Curing Technology: A heating function strip and a trapezoidal boundary groove are integrated inside the arc-shaped baffle. The adhesive liquid output pipe injects auxiliary adhesive into the groove, which forms a cured boundary layer after instantaneous heating at 60°C to prevent adhesive overflow into the end cap hole groove, reducing the product defect rate by 90%.
This technology is also applied to Filter gasket pouring machine to solve the problem of adhesive flow in complex curved surface gaskets.
3. Multi-Axis Coordination and Adaptive Clamping System
Dual-Station Collaborative Gluing: In the Double head end cap gluing machine, two sets of vertical movement mechanisms are synchronously controlled by PLC, combined with a sliding rail-type worktable for rapid model changeover, increasing production efficiency by 140%.
4. Industrial 4.0 Full-Process Empowerment for Filter end cover gluing machine
Intelligent Control System: Integrated with Wecon HMI touchscreen and LX3V series PLC, supporting the storage of 10 groups of order parameters, and achieving precise execution of seven-step positioning actions through DECO instructions. It real-time monitors adhesive temperature (±1℃), pressure (±0.01MPa), and adhesive volume (error ≤2%).
Visual Quality Closed Loop: An industrial camera captures images of the glue line, and an AI algorithm compares them with standard parameters to automatically compensate for the gluing path. This technology has been applied to the production line of Filter end cover gluing machine, increasing the daily quality inspection efficiency of a single device by 8 times.
5. Energy Conservation, Environmental Protection, and Flexible Production
Adhesive Recycling System: The SU304 stainless steel material tank is equipped with liquid level control and automatic feeding. Combined with an optimized mixing head design, the adhesive utilization rate reaches 98%, saving 45% more adhesive than traditional processes.
Modular Expansion Capability: The Filter element gluing machine supports stepless adjustment of glue output from 20-300g/shot, is compatible with adhesives with a viscosity of 100-50,000mPa·s, and can quickly switch to the production of multiple products such as air filters and oil filters.
From the micron-level adhesive layer control of Filter gasket pouring machine to the parallel and efficient production of Double head end cap gluing machine, our company is building a full-scenario gluing solution. At present, the new generation of End cap gluing machine has served 12 leading automotive parts enterprises, averagely reducing customers’ production costs by 34%. In the future, we will continue to deepen the intelligence of sealing processes and inject the gene of “Made in China with Intelligence” into global filter manufacturing.
