Form-in-place gaskets (FIP) have been part of the mainstream enclosure industry for many years but the cost and physical size of robotic application has been a major constraint for SMEs – until now. Intertronics has focused on bench-top robotics and matched compliant gasket materials to provide low cost equipment to suit boxes or housings from 200 x 150mm, junction boxes, terminal boxes, control boxes, electronic housings or small mechanical gearboxes. The company says it has dramatically cut entry cost on the smallest – with larger equipment running right up to 800 x 600mm machines.
