Adhesives and Sealants Industry
Hydraulic Valve Maker Cuts Production Time 10%
Meeting growing demand without increasing production costs can be a real challenge. By switching from squeeze bottles to EFD dispensers, HydraForce Inc. has cut production time by 10 seconds per part, eliminated threadlocker waste and dramatically reduced production costs.
Manufacturer Rethinks Adhesive Dispensing Process, Saves 33 Hours of Maintenance Per Week
Stepping back to get a fresh perspective is often the best way to solve a problem. When a company seeking a more efficient way to dispense adhesive retrofitted their assembly machines with EFD valves, productivity shot up 10% and maintenance-related downtime was virtually eliminated.
A.T. Cross Eliminates Maintenance, Cuts Adhesive Use 50%
One reason world-famous Cross pens function so well and last so long is the attention Cross engineers give to every aspect of the manufacturing process. EFD dispensing systems have enabled the company to increase productivity, reduce maintenance time from hours to minutes, and cut adhesive use by an impressive 50%.
Assembly
Fresh Look at Dispensing Process Saves Manufacturer $70K a Year
Replacing squeeze bottles with EFD dispense valve systems has helped Tridelta Industries reduce process time from 5 minutes to 5 seconds, eliminate production bottlenecks, and increase overall productivity by 25%.
Automatic Dispensers Shorten the Learning Curve
When demand for their latest product took off faster than anticipated, Leatherman Tool Group needed a fast, reliable way to train 40 new operators to make critical adhesive deposits. EFD's timed pulse dispensers helped get them up and running in record time.
Connector Specifier
New Epoxy Dispenser Simplifies Fiber Optic Assembly
Fiber-to-ferrule bonding is a critical fiber optic assembly process. Pneumatic dispensers, which use a timed air pulse to determine the amount of epoxy applied to the ferrule, provide much better control than medical-type syringes often used for this application. Benefits include higher yields, fewer rejects and shorter training time for new operators.
Machine Design
Low-maintenance Dispense Valve Provides Trouble-free Cyanoacrylate Application
Great bond strength and short cure time are two reasons cyanoacrylate or 'super glue' is used in so many different industries and applications. Controlled application, however, is critical to achieving good bonds. To meet this challenge, EFD developed a unique dispense valve that provides tens of millions of accurate deposits without maintenance or downtime.
Medical Design Technology
Medical Manufacturer Enhances Process Control with Dedicated Valve Controllers
In many applications, the quality and reliability of the finished part depends on the degree of process control during the assembly process. This medical device manufacturer found EFD's precision dispense valve systems the perfect way to make 10 simultaneous micro-deposits of UV-cure adhesive.
Occupational Hazards
Air-powered Fluid Dispensers Reduce Hand Fatigue
Replacing squeeze bottles with air-powered EFD dispensers has helped Federal-Mogul Corporation eliminate the risk of hand and wrist fatigue problems on their Midwestern assembly line. In addition to resolving the ergonomic issues, the dispensers have reduced waste by 60% and greatly simplified training for new operators.
