Smarter Gluing for Metal Caps – Discover BAT 360-S1

High-Speed Gluing Solution for Metal Caps | Delta BAT 360-S1 Empowers SMEs to Improve Quality and Boost Efficiency

In the field of metal cap gluing—particularly in industries such as food and beverage, cosmetics, and chemicals—small and medium-sized manufacturers often face the challenge of handling small-batch, multi-variety, and short lead-time orders. Traditional gluing equipment frequently falls short in terms of compatibility, precision, and efficiency, resulting in frequent line changeovers and reduced productivity.

To address these industry pain points, Robotphoenix has developed a high-speed automated solution specifically optimized for gluing applications: the Delta Robot BAT 360-S1 – High-Speed Gluing Edition. This intelligent system delivers enhanced production flexibility and automation, helping SMEs improve operational performance and stay competitive in a fast-changing market.

In this project, we take a 250×250mm square metal cap with curved edges as an example. The system uses the BAT 360-S1 Delta robot, paired with Robotphoenix’s self-developed high-precision gluing control system and intelligent visual positioning technology, to achieve a stable processing speed of 50–60 pieces per minute—boosting productivity by more than 80% compared to conventional semi-automatic or manual processes.

The solution offers several key technical highlights that significantly enhance performance, flexibility, and automation capabilities.

1. Advanced Precision Gluing Algorithms

Given the complexity of curved-edge metal caps, Robotphoenix has developed a dedicated 3D path optimization algorithm that enables adaptive glue path planning. This ensures a consistent glue width control accuracy of ±0.5mm, greatly improving sealing performance and visual consistency.

2. Strong Compatibility & Fast Format Changeover

The Delta robot BAT 360-S1 is designed with high flexibility in mind, capable of quickly adapting to a wide variety of cap sizes and shapes. With one-click parameter switching, the average changeover time is reduced to under 3 minutes, making it ideal for multi-variety, small-batch production environments.

3. Fully Integrated Automation System

The system is equipped with Robotphoenix’s proprietary vision recognition and gluing control platform, offering features such as one-click start/stop, real-time monitoring, and user-defined parameter sets. This minimizes the need for manual intervention and significantly enhances system stability and reliability.

4. Modular Design for Easy Expansion

Built with a modular architecture, the system supports future upgrades such as integration with quality inspection systems, MES platforms, or traceability solutions, helping manufacturers move toward intelligent and digitalized production lines.

This high-speed gluing solution is suitable for a wide range of industries that require precision and efficiency in metal cap applications. For example, automated gluing for food-grade metal caps, cosmetic bottle cap sealing and gluing, pharmaceutical packaging component sealing and precision dispensing for curved or irregular-shaped metal parts
