The market for adhesives for product assembly is growing rapidly, with design engineers and product manufacturers finding alternative or improved methods of putting their products together. But the right adhesive can also drive important improvements in the product design itself, or provide the enabler to explore new materials or add new features. Visitors to MachineBuilding.Live on 15 October at the NAEC Stonleigh Park will be able to explore these themes for themselves.
In increasingly competitive markets, designers in a host of sectors, including aerospace, automotive and medical devices, are looking to take advantage of the benefits offered by new materials, including plastics (and recycled plastics in particular), composites and lightweight metals. This might be to reduce weight or improve aesthetics, but bonding such materials can be a challenge. Visitors to MachineBuilding.Live will be able to talk to suppliers about specialised formulations for materials of all varieties, including those that have traditionally proved challenging to bond.
As an example, in its 25-year history, Advanced Adhesives has tackled huge numbers of applications where at first glance at the design specification might have suggested no possibility of any joining solution, let alone adhesive bonding. Customers come to the company precisely because they need a solution to something that can seem almost impossible. An adhesive expert, Advanced Adhesives has yet to find a bonding challenge where it couldn't formulate an appropriate solution.
Another key trend in the market for adhesives for product assembly is automation. As an example of what visitors can expect to see at the event, LOCTITE will highlight its automation capabilities, helping manufacturers accelerate production while maintaining precision and quality. Plus, visitors can learn about the comprehensive process audits offered by LOCTITE, which identify cost-saving opportunities through tailored, on-site assessments, complete with actionable reports and expert recommendations.
Seeing is believing when it comes to the speed, precision and repeatability you will witness at MachineBuilding.Live. You can register to attend here.
