Question 1

How does axiss develop the right dispensing solution for each application?

Accepted Answer

Every project at axiss starts with the customer’s component – its characteristics, requirements, and the desired level of process reliability.
Based on this, we define the working area, process steps, and possible integrations such as plasma, UV light, pre-treatment, or curing.
The dispensing valve is then selected according to the dispensing material and cartridge size – regardless of whether the customer ultimately chooses a fully automated system, a manual setup, or only the valve itself.

Question 2

How is the integration of a dispensing machine into an existing production line carried out?

Accepted Answer

Integration takes place via mechanical mounting interfaces and electrical connections such as PLC, fieldbus, or Ethernet.
Optional integration into the safety circuit of the production line, as well as communication with MES or ERP systems, is also possible.
We support our customers during planning, interface definition, and commissioning to ensure that each dispensing machine is perfectly integrated into the existing production process.

Question 3

How are different dispensing heads or materials implemented in more complex applications?

Accepted Answer

For applications involving multiple materials, the dispensing head can be quickly exchanged via a change system on the Z-axis.
In the control software, parameters for each dispensing head can be selected automatically.
This ensures a safe and consistent process when switching between different dispensing heads.

Question 4

How are multi-axis systems (e.g. 4-axis setups) programmed for complex dispensing paths?

Accepted Answer

Programming is carried out using teach-in and interpolation within the control software.

Question 5

How fast and accurate do the dispensing systems operate?

Accepted Answer

Cycle time depends on the material, dispensing volume, and axis speeds – from just a few seconds to several minutes per part, depending on the application.
Automatic height measurement and camera-based process monitoring ensure that the dispensing distance remains constant and any positional deviations are detected immediately.

Question 6

What interfaces and software features are available?

Accepted Answer

Our control systems support all common industrial interfaces such as Ethernet, Profinet, EtherCAT, digital I/Os, and OPC-UA.
The software provides powerful tools for data logging and process management – including dispensing volumes, batch IDs, and test reports. Dispensing programs for different part variants can be stored, managed, and switched quickly.
Integration with MES or ERP systems is easily possible, and remote access enables secure support, software updates, and error diagnostics without downtime.
