The final assembly process involves various dispensing applications, each with unique requirements. Key requirements include precision and control, material compatibility, adherence to safety standards, efficiency, environmental resistance, and rigorous quality control. Glazing, for example, needs precise adhesive application for secure glass integration. Trim parts require flexible adhesives for a perfect fit and finish.
A diverse dispensing portfolio with the right system options is essential for high application quality. At Atlas Copco, we collaborate with OEMs and Tier suppliers to develop customized solutions, ensuring we meet the specific demands of each application and enhance efficiency and quality in the final assembly process.
- Glazing
Glazing involves the installation of windows and windshields, which must meet high standards for clarity, strength, and sealing. The adhesive application ensures a secure fit, weather resistance, and contributes to the vehicle's structural integrity.
- Sun roof
The sun roof installation requires precise adhesive application to ensure a watertight seal and smooth operation. It must also meet aesthetic standards and integrate seamlessly with the vehicle's design, providing both functionality and style.
- Trim parts
Trim parts, including moldings, badges, and decorative elements, require accurate adhesive application to ensure they remain securely attached under various conditions. This process enhances the vehicle's appearance and contributes to its overall durability and quality.

Shaped bead application with RTVision.3d in final assembly
Our vision solutions support you with high quality shaped bead applications
Glazing applications in final assembly
Challenges in glazing applications:
The increasing size and quantity of windows demand secure glazing applications. The bonded joint must protect against water, absorb vibrations, and add strength to the car structure. Atlas Copco provides technology for reliable triangular bead shapes.
Our application solutions:
Shaped bead: Ensures even adhesion and 100% sealing to prevent water leakage. Used with 1K, 1K accelerated, or 2K adhesives.
One component (1K): Suitable for consistent ambient conditions, ensuring fast curing and reproducibility.
1K accelerated: Faster curing with an additional acceleration paste, reducing the time the module needs to be fixed to the car body.
Two components (2K): Reduces cycle time with high dynamic application, adjusting material flow for fast production.
