by swisscham in Engineering, Manufacturing
ABB announced that it has provided an application solution integrated with spraying, gluing, and wiping for Volvo Car Group’s new production based in Chengdu, becoming the first robot supplier to provide a water-soluble adhesive system solution in the domestic market. The water-soluble adhesive is a kind of water-based liquid noise reduction material that is environmentally friendly. Volvo uses ABB robots to spray the water-based adhesive to the body and chassis inside the car. After solidification, this seal can reduce the noises and vibrations in the operation of the whole car, creating a quiet and comfortable driving environment for the owners; this seal can also greatly reduce the amount of volatile and organic compounds needed during manufacturing, minimizing environmental pollution and damage to human health by improving the air quality in the car.
