Abstract
A system includes a robot, a measuring device, and a processor. The robot is configured to dispense, based on at least one process parameter, a liquid adhesive bead onto a substrate. The measuring device is configured to measure at least one characteristic of the bead shape. The processor is configured to determine, based on a reference bead shape and at least one reference process parameter, response surface profile of the liquid adhesive. The processor is configured to compare the measured bead shape to a reference bead shape and, responsive to determining the measured bead shape is different than the reference bead shape, determine, based on the response surface profile, at least one updated process parameter. The updated process parameter is configured to cause the robot to dispense a second bead having the reference bead shape.
