Abstract
A sealant system for operation with a metal workpiece comprises a frame, a cam assembly mounted to the frame, a sealant reservoir, a sealant application unit connected to the sealant reservoir, and a control module for coordinating operation of the cam assembly and the sealant reservoir, wherein the control module comprises a temperature sensor for monitoring the temperature of the sealant, an integrated heating system for heating the sealant and a controller in communication with the temperature sensor and the integrated heating system.
Claims6
A method for arranging a sealant system for operation with a metal workpiece, said method comprising of:
- operatively mounting a cam assembly to a frame;
- arranging a sealant reservoir for housing a supply of sealant;
- connecting a sealant application unit to said sealant reservoir;
- and
- arranging a control module for coordinating operation of said cam assembly and said sealant reservoir, such that said sealant application unit selectively dispenses said sealant on said workpiece as said cam assembly acts on said workpiece.
