Dispensing & gluing

Robots dispensing adhesive, sealant and potting.

People ask for this as: “glue dispensing robot”

How it works

Robots used

  • Dispensing Robot

Ways to buy it

  • Raas — a subscription covering robot, software and support.
  • Purchase Buy the robot (plus software and service plans, usually).
  • Rental — the machine for days or weeks.
  • Service — you pay for the outcome (one inspection, one show, X acres).

Bot or Not?

A robot makes sense when…

  • The job is high, dangerous, or hard to reach
  • It is huge or repetitive (acres, nights, square metres)
  • You need data you will compare over time
  • You need eyes on it right now

Hire a human when…

  • It is small, low and one-off
  • It needs hands, judgement or a repair
  • Weather, permits or timing make robots awkward
  • Nobody has defined the job yet

Here's the catch for this job

  • RaaS lets you pay per hour or per month with no capex.
  • Ask integrators for a payback calculation based on your labor cost.
  • Start with one cell, then scale.

What it costs

Published ranges, each with a receipt. Not quotes: your price depends on scope, location and date. older price = 18+ months.

No published prices yet. We only show prices we can link to a source, and we haven't found one for this yet. Requesting quotes is the fastest way to find out, and every request helps us map the real market.

What to specify and ask

Put these in your request and you'll get a real price instead of "it depends":

  1. Task description and cycle time
  2. Part size, weight and material
  3. Volumes per shift
  4. Shifts per day
  5. Floor space
  6. Existing equipment and PLCs
  7. Safety requirements

Rules and regulation

Follow ISO 10218 / ANSI/RIA R15.06 and ISO/TS 15066 for collaborative robots; risk assessment required.

General information, not legal advice. Rules change; ask the operator which permits they hold and verify them.
