Design of a mechatronic unit for application of coats of adhesive

This paper presents the chosen structural design and confirms the need of a mechatronic system for application of adhesive on parts of seating systems for public transport vehicles. The design assumptions concerning the mechanical part of the machine and control system design are given. The engineering calculations for the chosen structural joints are described. The chosen driving systems are presented and the method for removing excess adhesive is proposed. The control system design is described is described towards the end of this paper. Information is given on the control block diagram which was used for selecting the system components. PLC, motor controllers and the associated sensors are specified. Conclusions are presented at the end of this paper.
