tapo-fix uses gantries to automate their home wallpaper assembly machines

What do they do? tapo-fix designs and manufactures specialized wallpapering equipment for home and craft applications. In this automation project, a manual process involved an employee applying sealant to a metal part in a specific pattern.

Challenge: Manual application of sealant required high levels of concentration and time, leading to inefficiencies and potential for inconsistent results.

Solution: tapo-fix implemented a custom automation solution using modular igus® components—a gantry robot paired with a drylin® E motor control system. Automation has enabled a faster and more precise sealant application, freeing employees to focus on higher-value tasks. The intuitive design also allows any employee to operate the robot with ease.
