Sealant Equipment and Engineering's new, patent-pending Program-A-Swirl is designed to dispense adhesives or sealants in a circular pattern or as a continuous bead.

Sealant Equipment and Engineering's new, patent-pending Program-A-Swirl is designed to dispense adhesives or sealants in a circular pattern or as a continuous bead By dispensing in a swirled pattern of closed loops, the Program-A-Swirl maximises adhesion between two substrates and uses less material to 'wet out' a greater area

Swirling is achieved when the servomotor spins the system's nozzle.

When the servo motor stops, the nozzle "self-centres", allowing the tool to alternate on-the-fly between swirling patterns and dispensing beads.

The versatile Program-A-Swirl system is available in two styles.

One can be used with a static mixer nozzle for two-component, reactive-resin materials.

The other version is designed to dispense single-component materials.

Program-A-Swirl is typically mounted as an end-of-arm tool in robotic applications, or fixture-mounted in automation tooling.

Program-A-Swirl's dispensing patterns will meet the geometry of virtually any application requirement, precisely adjusting the size of the looped pattern or bead.
