Challenges in sunroof applications:

Sunroof applications require well-sealed joints to prevent water leakage and corrosion. Atlas Copco provides technology for reliable, strong joints with consistent quality, and fast switches between 1K and 2K applications to extend uptime and lower costs.

Our application solutions:

Shaped bead application: The glass panel is mounted to a module frame using an accelerated polyurethane shaped bead, ensuring even adhesion and 100% sealing to avoid water leakage. Our SCA product line offers dynamically adjustable mixing ratioses to lower process costs.

Mounting of the sunroof into the car body: The finished sunroof module is mounted to the car body using the same material for a reliable structural bond. Our SCA product line’s piston meter technology ensures high speed, repeatability, and continuous quality.

Challenges in trim part applications:

Trim parts like spoilers, bumpers, front ends, tailgates, and antennas are often thin plastic but must be mounted solidly to withstand vibrations and adversities.

Our application solution:

Creating reliable and invisible joints is crucial. Thin plastic parts are sensitive to temperature and can easily deform. Atlas Copco’s SCA product line offers dynamic mixers for perfect 2K adhesive mixing, reducing material consumption and increasing process speed and safety. Using 2K adhesives requires controlled material flow and precise mixing ratioses to prevent unwanted curing. Our flexible metering system controls each component's flow, and our hybrid peltier technology with water-cooled hoses ensures consistent quality, even in hot climates.
