Challenge1: Gluing Line
The customer required a fully automated solution for assembling curved OLED automotive displays, specifically focusing on the ornamental frame and glass bonding. The process had to ensure precise positioning of the display and frame, despite their complex 3D geometry.
Gap and flash checks, plasma cleaning, and 2K gluing had to be executed with utmost accuracy—within a cycle time of 33 seconds and under ISO 7 cleanroom standards. A key challenge: measurement values from previous stations had to be dynamically integrated into the adhesive dosing and joining steps, requiring a tightly connected, intelligent process.
Developing a Solution
HAHN Automation Group developed a fully automated line with manual loading of the OLED and frame, combining several advanced technologies. A custom-developed WPC with vacuum clamping ensured precise holding and alignment of the curved display. A six-axis robot applied 2K adhesive based on real-time gap measurements, while upper tooling and vacuum systems stabilized the parts during gap and flash inspection.
Plasma cleaning and item-specific cleaning were fully integrated. All processes were coordinated digitally, using measurement data from earlier stations to drive precise joining and dosing.
Challenge 2: Bonding Line
After the initial frame assembly, the next step in display production required precise bonding of the display unit to the support plate. The challenge was to align and join multiple curved components with high positional accuracy, despite 3D geometries and strict ISO 7 cleanroom requirements.
Plasma cleaning, gap inspection, and 2K adhesive dosing had to be integrated seamlessly—within a 33-second cycle time and with minimal manual intervention.
Developing a Solution
HAHN Automation Group implemented a fully automated line with manual loading of the support plate. A customized WPC concept with vacuum clamping was used to position and stabilize both the frame assembly and support plate. Upper tooling ensured precise part holding, while a six-axis robot executed dynamic 2K adhesive dosing, guided by real-time gap inspection data.
Integrated plasma and item-specific cleaning ensured surface quality, and the entire joining process was based on exact alignment and measurement values. The result is a cleanroom-compatible, high-precision bonding system that guarantees stable and repeatable joining of complex display units.
