Introduction

The most common questions when you start learning about FELIX GLUER

Can a CNC plotter machine really be faster than highly specialized manual gluing operators?

Yes! FELIX GLUER glue plotters can speed up the gluing process up to 6 times, depending on the project. Even highly specialized manual operators cannot match this, as their working time includes both manual glue application and manual assembly. With FELIX GLUER plotters, the application of glue is lightning-fast and fully automated, while your operators can focus on the assembly.

Can my gluing operators handle the process of working with a glue plotter?

Absolutely. FELIX GLUER plotters have been created to optimize the production process, so the machine operation is really straightforward and user-friendly. During the installation of our plotters we conduct a multi-day training for operators, during which we make sure that every member of your gluing team can efficiently work with a plotter.

Are glue plotters precise enough for my gluing project?

Yes! FELIX GLUER plotters offer unmatched precision when it comes to applying adhesive to a flat surface. With a proper configuration of a CNC machine, the precision of glue application and the repetitiveness of glue paths should always be 100 percent.

Can FELIX GLUER plotters handle gluing materials with complex die-cut forms?

FELIX GLUER plotters work great when applying adhesive on flat substrates, no matter how complex die-cut forms are, so we are quite positive that they will also work for you. For further assessment we advise to contact with our team, for example in case of non-standard materials such as 3d prints. [Contact us]

Working with FELIX GLUER

The most frequent questions about the FELIX GLUER functionality

Do I need a specialized CNC operator or CAD designer to work efficiently?

No. Our FG : PRO software offers an impressive range of features for CAD designers, but does not require any additional course, outside of the complimentary training we always provide for your gluing team. After a two-day introduction, every operator can use FELIX GLUER plotters without a hassle.

Will a glue plotter fit into my production space?

Every model of FELIX GLUER plotters has a floorplan, on which basis you can easily calculate the space needed to introduce a glue plotter in your production hall. You can find floorplans for each model on its dedicated page.

Can I save my production setup to use it later on?

Of course! When designing glue paths in our software, each project can be saved and continued according to the production plan. With an optional FG : Production Planner module it is even possible to set a production queue for each shift at the precise time. [Learn more]

Can I load glued materials onto the plotter's worktable together with their container (i.e. a pallet)?

With FELIX GLUER's semi-automated loading mechanism, it is not a recommended choice, as it would slow down an overall speed of the production setup. Glued materials are handled most efficiently when placed precisely on the worktable without additional elements or layers of packaging.

Which type of adhesives should be used together with FELIX GLUER plotters?

For a smooth gluing experience, we provide clients with our own dedicated line of adhesives, hand-picked to get the best results for both hot melt gluing and cold gluing. Learn more about them in a dedicated section [Adhesives].
