This article provides a complete technical and application overview of the PU gasket dispensing machine, a two-component polyurethane foaming and sealing system used for automated in-place gasketing (FIPFG) in industrial environments.
What is a PU Gasket Dispensing Machine?
A PU gasket dispensing machine is an automated dispensing system that mixes and applies liquid polyurethane (PU) foam directly onto a substrate to form a custom-shaped gasket. This process is known as Formed-In-Place Foam Gasketing (FIPFG). The machine replaces traditional pre-cut rubber gaskets with a precisely dispensed foam seal that cures after application. KAIWEI's PU gasket dispensing machine is a two-component foaming machine that meters and mixes polyurethane resin and hardener in a controlled ratio before dispensing the mixture through a mixing head directly onto the part.
Industry Background and Application Scenarios
The need for automated sealing solutions has grown across multiple industrial sectors as manufacturers seek higher throughput, consistent quality, and reduced material waste. KAIWEI's PU gasket dispensing machine is applied in automatic sealing projects where it provides dust-proof sealing and explosion-proof sealing for enclosures. It operates in a 24/7 continuous operation mode and is designed to integrate with an automatic gluing production line. The product functions within an operating temperature range of -20 to 40 degrees Celsius.

Detailed Solution: KAIWEI PU Gasket Dispensing Machine
KAIWEI manufactures a series of PU gasket dispensing machines designed for different production volumes, part sizes, and sealing requirements. The machines use a low-pressure dispensing process suitable for polyurethane foam. All models feature a touch screen HMI, operate via PC or teach pendant, and use a motion control card combined with a PLC for precise control of the dispensing path.
Key Models and Specifications
KW-510B
The KW-510B is a 3-axis linear robot arm machine with an effective stroke of 2250*1250*200mm, suitable for medium to large enclosure sealing. It uses a KW mixing head and can produce seal strip widths of 4-30mm. It supports manual or automatic filling of raw material tanks with a volume of 40L each for both A and B components. The running speed reaches 0-12000mm/min.
KW-520 Series
The KW-520A and KW-520B models offer various configurations. The KW-520A uses a 10.2-inch PC touch screen and a Nidec servo motor. The KW-520B uses a 15-inch screen and supports ABB or Fuji servo motors. Both share an effective stroke of 22501250200mm and a 4-30mm seal width.
KW-523 and KW-523A
The KW-523 and KW-523A models have a smaller effective stroke of 1250*800*200mm, making them ideal for compact parts. They can handle both polyurethane and silicone. The KW-523A offers a wider seal strip width range of 2-60mm, compared to the standard 2-10mm/10-60mm split range.
KW-526 (6-Axis Model)
The KW-526 is the advanced 6-axis linear robot arm model. It provides a customizable effective stroke, a 2-60mm seal strip width range, and a running speed of 0-12000mm/min. This multi-axis configuration enables sealing of more complex 3D geometries. It supports servo motors from Xinje, ABB, Fuji, and Panasonic.
Step-by-Step Dispensing Process
- Material Loading: Polyurethane resin (A component) and hardener (B component) are loaded into separate 40L air pressure tanks. Manual or automatic filling is available.
- Metering: Two KAIWEI or Barmag metering pumps (A3cc/r, B0.6cc/r) precisely control the mixing ratio, adjustable between 1:1 and 10:1.
- Mixing & Dispensing: The two components are mixed in the KW800 or KW-900 mixing head. The mixed liquid is then dispensed onto the substrate at high pressure water cleaning after use.
- Robot Path Execution: The 3-axis or 6-axis linear robot arm moves the mixing head along the programmed path at speeds up to 12000mm/min.
- Curing: The liquid PU foam cures on the part, forming a compressible, dust-proof, and explosion-proof foam gasket.
