Abstract

The paper presents two ways of assembly of liquid radiator tank gaskets. A comparison of the test results of liquid coolers with a manual and poured gasket on a modular robotic assembly station is presented. Gaskets made of EPDM (ethylene propylene diene monomer) and two-component silicone rubber were used, verifying their hardness, chemical composition, detachment strength and resistance to aging. After the clinch joints were made, they were tested for their burst strength and micrography taking into account the deflection values of both gaskets. The summary presents the advantages and disadvantages of sealing in relation to the durability of liquid coolers, the duration of assembly operations, including directions for further tests.
