Abstract
A system for applying a tile adhesive, including: an adhesive supplying device for supplying the tile adhesive on a surface of a tile, including a nozzle for emerging the tile adhesive and a pump unit for pumping the tile adhesive in the direction of the nozzle; and an automated supporting and moving device, in particular robot, for supporting and positioning the tile with respect to the nozzle so that the tile adhesive is distributable onto the surface of the tile when emerging from the nozzle.
Claims14
A system for applying a tile adhesive and tiling a surface, the system comprising:
- an adhesive supplying device for supplying the tile adhesive on a surface of a tile, the adhesive supplying device comprising:
- a nozzle having a longitudinal slit or several apertures and configured to direct the tile adhesive to emerge from the longitudinal slit or the several apertures, the nozzle including an active or passive mixing device that mixes an accelerator with the tile adhesive at the nozzle;
- and
- a pump configured to pump the tile adhesive in a direction of the nozzle;
- and
- a robot arm configured to (i) support and position the tile with respect to the nozzle so that the tile adhesive is distributable onto the surface of the tile when emerging from the nozzle and (ii) position the tile onto the surface to be tiled.
