What Are Automatic Glue Guns?
Automatic glue guns are electro-pneumatic devices mounted to packaging or production lines. They’re triggered by PLCs or photo eyes to dispense precise amounts of adhesive exactly where and when it’s needed. They can operate continuously or intermittently depending on your line speed and requirements.
Key options include:
- Single or multi-module configurations
- AO/AC or AO/SC patterns
- Air-open/air-close or spring-close mechanics
- Zero-cavity designs to reduce char and maintenance
