Method and device for applying an element to a component part by use of a manipulator

Abstract

A method for applying, in particular for evenly pressing across a surface, a component to a construction part by way of a manipulator, by receiving the component to be applied by means of a first vacuum pressure in a first interstice between a supporting member and the component, displacing the manipulator with the component towards the construction part, disposing the component at at least one partial surface of the construction part by way of the manipulator, where, during disposing, a second vacuum pressure is generated in a second interstice between the supporting member and the construction part, and mounting the component at the construction part by increasing the difference between the first and second vacuum pressures, where the manipulator continuously maintains the first vacuum pressure until completion of arrangement and at least partial attachment of the component at the construction part.
