Inline Visual Inspection System Measures Adhesive and Sealant

Coherix 3D features four high-speed laser sensors that lead and trail dispensing nozzles to track and inspect material as it is applied. It can acquire and process 400 samples per second. The sensor features a solid aluminum frame that can withstand impacts and an IP67-sealed housing to protect the unit. It can be used for bead inspection in numerous dispensing applications, including thermal paste for battery manufacturing and structural adhesive for body shop applications.

Electrical Insulation Tapes Are Designed for High-Voltage Applications

Volt Tough electrical insulation tapes are engineered to address the challenges of insufficient electrical insulation in EV battery packs. They provide insulation to protect bus bars, cell connection systems and other sensitive components from electrical arcing that can lead to shorting and fires. The tapes are available with conformable options for curved geometries; high abrasion-resistant options; and various color options for vision inspection systems.
