Case Study: Upgraded 8-Control 5-Gun Cold Glue System with Spray Glue Detection

A Customized Cold Glue and Detection Solution for a Customer in Mexico

Article Summary

A customer in Mexico received an upgraded KQ Cold Glue System with 8 independent controls, 5 glue guns, a Windows large-screen interface, and a gantry structure. The system is also equipped with 3 spray glue detection heads for inline glue quality control.

The Customer's Requirement

For automated packaging production, different carton designs may require different glue positions and application patterns.

The customer needed a cold glue system with greater control flexibility and multiple glue guns to meet different production requirements.

At the same time, the customer wanted to add glue detection to the production process so that glue application could be monitored during operation.

The solution therefore needed to combine:

• Multiple glue application points

• Flexible control

• Easy operation

• Stable glue application

• Inline spray glue detection

The Solution

KQ developed an upgraded 8-Control 5-Gun Cold Glue System for the customer in Mexico.

The system combines multiple glue application channels with an integrated control interface and spray glue detection.

8 Independent Controls

The system features 8 control channels, providing greater flexibility for different glue application requirements.

This allows the system to be configured for different carton designs, glue positions, and production requirements.

5 Glue Guns

The system is equipped with 5 glue guns for multi-point cold glue application.

Multiple glue guns provide more application flexibility when several glue positions need to be handled within the same production process.

Windows Large-Screen Control

A Windows large-screen controller provides a clear interface for system operation and monitoring.

The larger display makes it easier for operators to view and manage system parameters during production.

Gantry Structure

The system uses a gantry structure to support the glue application and detection components.

The structure provides a practical platform for positioning multiple components according to the customer's production requirements.

3 Spray Glue Detection Heads

Three Spray Glue Detection Heads are integrated into the system.

The detection heads monitor the glue application during production and help identify potential issues such as missing or inconsistent glue application.

This combines adhesive application and quality control within the same production solution.

Key Benefits

Flexible Glue Application

Eight control channels and five glue guns provide flexibility for different glue application requirements.

Integrated Glue Detection

Three spray glue detection heads allow glue application to be monitored during production.

Easier Operation

The Windows large-screen interface provides a clear and centralized operating environment.

Customized Configuration

The system is configured around the customer's actual production requirements rather than using a fixed standard configuration.

Application and Detection in One Solution

By combining Cold Glue Application + Spray Glue Detection, the system provides both adhesive application and inline quality control.

Why Combine Glue Application with Detection?

Applying glue is only part of the production process.

For automated packaging, it is also important to know whether the glue has been applied correctly.

A glue detection system can help monitor:

• Glue presence

• Glue position

• Glue continuity

• Glue application consistency

By integrating detection into the production process, potential glue application problems can be identified earlier.

KQ Customized Automation

This project is another example of KQ's approach to customized automation.

Instead of providing only a standard cold glue machine, KQ configured the system around the customer's requirements, including:

8 Controls + 5 Glue Guns + Windows Large Screen + Gantry + 3 Spray Glue Detection Heads

The result is a more complete solution that combines automatic glue application and inline glue detection.

Application

This type of solution is suitable for:

• Folder Gluer

• Carton Production

• Corrugated Packaging

• Folding Carton

• Packaging Automation

• Automatic Glue Application

• Spray Glue Detection

Conclusion

For automated packaging production, flexible glue application and reliable quality control are both important.

For this customer in Mexico, KQ combined an upgraded 8-Control 5-Gun Cold Glue System with a Windows large-screen controller, gantry structure, and three spray glue detection heads.

The solution brings glue application and detection together in one customized system, helping customers build a more controlled and efficient production process.
