Case Study: 4-Control 3-Gun Cold Glue Machine with Low Glue Level Alarm

Customized Cold Glue System with Integrated Level Sensor for a Tunisia Customer

The Customer's Requirement

In an automatic glue application process, maintaining a sufficient glue supply is important for continuous production.

If the glue level becomes too low, operators need to know in time to refill the tank and avoid interruptions to the production process.

For this project, the customer in Tunisia required a cold glue machine that could provide multiple glue application controls while also monitoring the glue level inside the tank.

The main requirements included:

• 4 control channels

• 3 glue guns

• Glue level monitoring

• Low glue level alarm

• Automatic alert when the glue level is too low

The Solution

KQ supplied a customized 4-Control 3-Gun Cold Glue Machine with an integrated glue level monitoring function.

The system is equipped with a level sensor inside the glue tank.

During operation, the sensor monitors the glue level in the tank. When the glue level becomes too low, the system triggers an alarm to remind the operator to refill the adhesive.

This provides a simple way to monitor the glue supply during production.

4-Control and 3-Gun Configuration

The system provides 4 control channels and 3 glue guns, giving the customer flexibility for different glue application requirements.

The multiple control configuration can be adapted to different glue positions and production processes.

Low Glue Level Alarm

The key feature of this system is the integrated low glue level alarm.

A level sensor is installed inside the glue tank to monitor the adhesive level.

The basic process is:

Glue Level Monitoring → Low Level Detected → Alarm → Operator Refills Glue

This helps operators identify a low adhesive level before it becomes a production problem.

Why Is Glue Level Monitoring Important?

For continuous automatic glue application, running out of glue can interrupt production and affect the gluing process.

A level monitoring function gives operators a clear warning when the adhesive supply needs attention.

This can help:

• Reduce unexpected interruptions

• Avoid running the system with insufficient glue

• Make routine operation easier

• Improve production continuity

• Reduce the need for frequent manual checking

Key Benefits

Automatic Glue Level Monitoring

The level sensor continuously monitors the adhesive level inside the glue tank.

Low-Level Alarm

When the glue level is too low, the system alerts the operator to refill the tank.

Flexible Glue Application

The 4-control and 3-gun configuration provides flexibility for different glue application requirements.

Less Manual Checking

Operators do not need to rely entirely on visual checks to determine whether the glue level is getting low.

Practical Production Management

The alarm function helps operators respond to low glue levels in time and maintain a more stable production process.

KQ Customized Cold Glue Solutions

Different production lines have different requirements.

For this Tunisia project, the customer needed not only multiple glue application controls but also a practical way to monitor the adhesive supply.

KQ configured the cold glue machine with a level sensor and low glue level alarm according to the customer's requirements.

This reflects KQ's approach to customized automation:

We build the solution around the customer's actual production process.

Conclusion

For automatic glue application, stable adhesive supply is an important part of maintaining continuous production.

For this customer in Tunisia, KQ supplied a 4-Control 3-Gun Cold Glue Machine with a level sensor inside the glue tank.

When the glue level becomes too low, the system automatically triggers an alarm, giving the operator a timely reminder to refill the adhesive.

A small monitoring function can make everyday machine operation simpler and more reliable.
