Abstract Robotic foam-in-place gasketing (FIPG) is an established technology for automating the gasketing of component parts used in the manufacture of plastic automotive, appliance and electrical components. Many plastic parts are amenable to the use of foam-in-place gaskets. However, up-front attention to mold and plastic part design is critical to capture the high productivity and superior performance of FIP gasket technology. Some applications include vacuum cleaners, air filters, dishwashers, clothes dryers, dehumidifiers, air conditioners, freezers, refrigerators, ranges, air cleaners and computers. The potential benefits of the foam-in-place gasket approach are a significant reduction in labor costs, increased flexibility in both product and process design and seamless, high-performance gaskets. The purpose of this article is to explore issues of part design that yield higher manufacturing productivity and improved gasket performance from the use of foam-in-place gaskets. XX
