Glue monitoring is vital for many different products and requires the use of comprehensive technology to ensure proper application. If you experience adhesive application errors, that can lead to mistakes in production that can be detrimental to your bottom line, lead to increasing customer frustration, and impede the production process.
Some of the common adhesive application errors you may encounter include a malfunction in glue presence detection. If your machine stops detecting glue, it can lead to a myriad of problems, like quality issues and failures in the production line, meaning there is less turnout for your product. With this product loss, you can also expect costly delays because of the need for replacements. Think of it this way: if 50% of your products are failing due to glue detection errors, that means only 50% of your products are ready to go to market. That can lead to material and labor waste, which hurts your bottom line.
It’s clear that effective glue monitoring technology is needed. Read on to learn about the role this technology plays within several different industries, and then discover how EMX Industries can help you find an ideal adhesive detection solution for any application.
Glue monitoring technology is vital for a number of industries. Consumer goods manufacturing relies on adhesives for hundreds of products, like cosmetics and toiletries. Any industry that requires adhesive to seal or label their products also relies on glue detection.
Corrugated cardboard manufacturing also must use reliable adhesive detection technology on a regular basis. Adhesives are prevalent in this industry and can affect the total quality of each product. There is an adhesive bond between the liner and corrugated cardboard which adds to the overall durability of each product. Verifying the strength of corrugated cardboard relies on glue monitoring technology, especially since many of these products are used in heavy-duty applications. Errors in this vital technology could severely impact this business. Turn to reliable solutions from EMX.
EMX offers a variety of quality adhesive solutions that can help correct common detection errors. One of our most effective solutions is the UVX Series. Our UVX luminescence sensors employ our field-proven, patented technology to detect various UV luminescent materials. If a UV-luminescent tracer is added to the adhesive, then the UVX sensor will be able to detect it. The UVX sensor emits a small beam of UV light, causing the luminescent material to glow. The sensor then detects and measures this emission to ensure precise requirements are being met. Let’s take a closer look at the different models in the UVX series so you can understand which would fit your application better.
For enhanced reliability for less complex measurements, turn to the UVX-100 and UVX-300. These models have a 0-50 display range, allowing you to verify your adhesive’s fluorescence with accurate measurements. The UVX-100 has an operating range of 20-100 mm, while the UVX-300 has a slightly higher range of up to 300 mm. Both of these models provide simple measurements of the fluorescence of an adhesive, allowing you to enhance the overall quality of your products.
EMX also provides several more advanced glue monitoring solutions, like the UVX-300G, UVX-300G-C, and UVX-600G-C. With higher sensitivity thresholds and longer operating ranges, these models are better for more complex applications, specifically with products utilizing adhesives that are harder to detect.
At EMX, we are happy to provide a number of solutions for all your glue monitoring needs. We understand the frustration and unnecessary costs associated with adhesive detection errors, and our solutions can tackle these difficult challenges. We can provide customized, modified solutions to our customers, no matter the volume because we want to collaborate with you to find your ideal solution. If you have any questions, reach out to our team for our complimentary sample testing so you can ensure you have the best sensor working for you.
