Automatic gluing system

Doucet's AGS automatic gluing system allows users to feeds stave parts through the glue extrusion head and move them laterally, one against each other, to form a panel load ready for the clamp carrier or any RF press. This can be added to an existing clamp carrier or integrated to a new SRX clamp carrier with RT100. In addition to uniform and repetitive glue application, manufacturers can save up to 30% on glue consumption, and also on maintenance hours, Doucet says.
