Automated Mixing & Dispensing Technology for Maximum Efficiency
Mixing and dispensing systems from RAMPF Production Systems stand for fast cycle times and maximum flexibility in lighting manufacturing. With a high degree of automation and autonomy, the systems ensure precise and reproducible application of single- and multi-component sealing systems – both as stand-alone solutions and integrated into existing production lines. Whether low- or high-viscosity foams, grooves, or flat profiles – RAMPF mixing and dispensing technology delivers ultra-precise results.
In series production, additional efficiency gains are achieved through RAMPF’s proprietary FlexSpeed technology. By synchronizing dispensing output with axis feed and using precise volumetric forced dispensing, cycle times are reduced by up to 50 percent. The dispensing robot reaches speeds of up to 40 m/min on straight paths and decelerates smoothly at corners and curves, ensuring consistently high sealing quality. Even with large-format lighting components such as linear luminaires, the geometry of the seal remains stable.
FlexSpeed also increases machine utilization while protecting mechanical components. Thanks to only brief periods of full load, wear is minimized. Speed-dependent dispensing protects mechanical parts and ensures sustainable efficiency improvements.
