How Much Are Bent Dispensing Nozzles Costing You?
In high-speed, high-stakes manufacturing environments, precision is everything. But even the most advanced robots are vulnerable to one small, costly issue: bent dispensing nozzles.
The Hidden Cost of Nozzle Misalignment
When a dispensing nozzle bends—even slightly—it can throw off the tool center point (TCP) of your robot. This results in:
- Poor bead placement
- Inconsistent or defective products
- Unplanned downtime
- Manual rework and scrap costs
These aren’t just annoyances — they’re production risks that chip away at your margins and damage your reputation for quality.
Why It Happens
Dispensing nozzles can bend from routine wear and tear, accidental collisions, when replacing 2K nozzles or improper maintenance. Unfortunately, misalignment often goes undetected until it’s too late — when the bad parts start piling up or the line grinds to a halt.
The Solution: Coherix 3D TCP Locator
Enter Coherix 3D TCP Locator — a robust, inline solution that automatically detects nozzle bends and recalibrates your robot’s tool center point before it causes problems downstream.
With our real-time 3D measurement technology, you can:
- Keep your robot on target
- Prevent production errors before they start
- Maximize uptime and throughput
Let Your Robot Aim Better…It Deserves It
Your dispensing system is only as good as its precision. Give your robot the ability to self-correct and stay aligned — every cycle, every part, every time.
