Normally, ViscoTec has a central topic at this time of year in addition to its daily work: The “Volksfest” visits! Under the special circumstances in 2020, the management decided not to miss the cozy get-together completely. Last Friday they called for the “Trachten-Freitag” at ViscoTec. And as a small compensation for the cancelled company evening […]
The quality of the insulation in electric drives determines, among other things, the durability and efficiency of the motor. Low-viscosity materials are used as an impregnation material so that they can be filled into any cavity, even into narrow areas of the windings. Most resins are thermally curing. Typical properties of impregnating resins are good […]
In the cosmetics sector, ViscoTec barrel extraction solutions are often used to feed highly viscous products such as mascara to filling stations. While the emptying and dosing systems can be easily disassembled for cleaning, this does not apply to the hoses in use. This is why customers increasingly approached ViscoTec and asked for a solution […]
Lynxter is a manufacturer of 3D printers and an expert in additive manufacturing, using, among others, ViscoTec 3D printheads. The 3D printing company, located in Bayonne, France, designs, constructs, and builds modular industrial machine tools. In a textile printing project, the advantages of the precision ViscoTec print heads were perfectly exploited. Talking to Lynxter, we […]
Since its foundation in 1997, ViscoTec has stood for automated and precise dispensing technology in a wide range of sectors and industries, and for several now also in the special field of aerospace. Why is this area so special and what are the challenges here? Further information can be found in the text below and […]
With adhesive dispensers based on the endless piston principle, the power is transmitted from the motor to the rotor by means of joints or flexible shafts. For over twenty years ViscoTec has been using an in-house developed flexible shaft in its dispensers, which is protected by US Patent No. 6,877,967B2. The advantage of this version […]
The application and injection of TIMS or gap fillers on and into battery modules or electronic components requires an absolutely process-safe handling of 1- or 2-component materials. Precise, fully automated, easily adjustable, and endless dosing is the prerequisite. ViscoTec dispensing systems enable exactly that: Continuous, repeatable, and material-friendly dispensing of TIMs, gap fillers, sealing materials […]
Increased demand for eye and eyebrow cosmetics requires more flexible and faster production processes for manufacturing and filling of materials. Automation (or partial automation) in certain processes, such as emptying or filling, can be the necessary optimization. Progressive cavity pumps offer great potential, especially when processing fluids and pastes. If one follows the trends in […]
A major challenge for the dosing technology in food, cosmetics and pharmaceutical industries continues to be the gentle dosing of solids-laden liquids without damaging the solids. In addition, there is a risk that the solids will settle during prolonged downtimes. The material sediments. If this happens, the dosing unit becomes clogged and must be completely […]
Wherever (vibration) energy has to be dissipated – i.e. where components move – dampers are often used to “buffer” this kinetic energy, e.g. using the viscous behaviour of liquids. The best example of the effect of large-volume dampers are structures embedded in bridge piers that compensate for earthquake vibrations using special hydraulic oil. Numerous examples […]
