How to Get Over Hem Seal Headaches

Is your team battling recurring issues with closure panel hem seals? You’re not alone.
Today, many OEMs and suppliers grapple with inconsistency in adhesive and sealant application, leading to:
- Excess waste from “overfilling” the hem flange
- Costly and manual rework due to bead skips or neckdowns
- Frequent nozzle damage (bent, clogged or snapped off) causing unplanned downtime
- Production delays from buildup on the nozzle
- Limited traceability, making quality control reactive and risky
With Coherix 3D’s advanced inline inspection and adaptive process control, you can:
- Dispense adhesives with precise volume, height and placement, every time
- Prevent “squeeze-out,” reducing over-hem application and eliminating labor-intensive finishing tweaks
- Protect your nozzles from damage and buildup, minimizing unplanned downtime
- Capture full traceability for each closure panel for proactive quality assurance
Our Closure Panel Hem Seal Applications Brochure dives into these challenges and shows how real-time 3D enabled control transforms your process, from design to operations, using proven methods.
