Solution Background

In scenarios such as automotive door module panels, onboard electrical control cabinets, and distribution cabinet door panels, the sealing solution not only affects the protection level against water and dust, but also directly impacts overall equipment reliability, assembly efficiency, and subsequent maintenance costs. Such components typically feature complex structures, long sealing paths, significant dimensional tolerance variations, and fast mass-production cycles. Traditional manual dispensing methods are prone to uneven bead thickness, trajectory deviation, missed or excessive adhesive application, bubbles, and unstable adhesion.

FIPFG (Foam In Place Formed Gasket) in-place foam sealing process is suitable for moving the sealing formation step into the automated equipment process, where precise proportioning and in-situ foaming create a continuous, stable, and repeatable sealing bead. For automotive and industrial manufacturing companies that need to balance IP protection, shock absorption, weather resistance, and long-lasting sealing, FIPFG foam dispensing sealing has become a process route better suited to large-scale production.

Core Logic of the Solution

WINMAN INDUSTRIAL’s FIPFG solution for Tesla automotive door module panels can be summarized as a combined approach of “equipment automation + process parameterization + stable raw materials + traceable mass production.”

  • Automated dispensing:Through a high-precision trajectory control system, continuous dispensing is performed along the preset path, reducing manual operation errors.
  • In-situ foam molding:After mixing, the two-component PU material foams in situ on the workpiece surface, forming a uniform sealing bead.
  • Sealing Performance Control:By integrating metering, temperature control, mixing, and motion control, it improves sealing consistency and adhesion stability.
  • Mass production integration capability:Supports integration with line takt time, fixtures and jigs, software traceability, and equipment interlock systems, making it suitable for continuous production.

Key Capabilities Module

1. Fully Automatic Two-Component PU Foam Dispensing

Through automatic metering, automatic mixing, and automatic dispensing, it enables continuous application of polyurethane sealing material, making it suitable for in-vehicle and electrical control sealing components with high consistency requirements.

2. FIPFG In-Place Foam Gasket Forming

The sealing material is foamed directly on the surface of the workpiece to form a sealing gasket, reducing application errors during assembly and improving coverage on edges, curved surfaces, and complex paths.

3. High-Precision Trajectory Dispensing

Adapt to complex contours and long path trajectories, reducing the risk of adhesive leakage, deviation, and overflow, and helping maintain continuous sealing between the door module panel and the cabinet frame.

4. IP Protection Sealing Support

The solution is designed for waterproof and dustproof protection as well as in-vehicle electronic control protection requirements, and it can meet the comprehensive requirements for protection rating, weather resistance, and long-term stability.

5. Production Stability and Traceability

Supports software function customization, process monitoring, and production line integration, facilitating parameter standardization, process recording, and quality traceability in batch manufacturing.

6. Adaptation Development

Can be customized according to workpiece size, process path, fixture structure, and adhesive type requirements to meet the application differences of various automotive parts and industrial enclosures.

Industry Pain Points

  • Unstable foaming/dispensing pressure can easily cause uneven bead thickness, affecting sealing consistency.
  • Insufficient equipment positioning accuracy may cause bead misalignment, adhesive leakage, overflow, and rework.
  • Rough or bubbly gasket surfaces can affect both appearance quality and long-term sealing performance.
  • The bond between the gasket bead and the substrate is unstable, which may lead to failure risks in waterproofing, dust protection, and weather resistance.

Implementation and Operational Logic

01 Workpiece loading

Place the door module panel, cabinet door panel, or electrical control enclosure to be sealed into the station.

02 Fixture Positioning Locking

Precise positioning and clamping are achieved through a fixture, ensuring a stable dispensing reference for the bead path.

03 Fully Automatic Foam Dispensing

The system automatically completes mixing, metered adhesive dispensing, and CNC-controlled path dispensing.

04 Curing Inspection and Unloading

Visual and process inspection is carried out after the sealing strip is cured in place, and then it proceeds to the subsequent assembly process.
