Abstract
Various embodiments of the disclosure relate to a spreading unit, having a shaper, for spreading viscous material, in particular sealing material, on a component, wherein the shaper has a shaping contour for the forming of the viscous material in the course of the spreading. It is proposed that the shaping contour of the shaper for the forming of the viscous material is adjustable by actuator-based means.
Claims15
A system for spreading a viscous material on a component, wherein the system comprises a spreading unit and a component receptacle for receiving a component, wherein the component comprising a joint,
- wherein the spreading unit comprises a shaper for spreading the viscous material on the component,
- the shaper comprising a shaping contour for a forming of the viscous material in a process of spreading, wherein the shaping contour of the shaper for the forming of the viscous material is adjustable by one or more actuators, wherein the shaper comprises a plurality of rods extending in parallel from the spreading unit, wherein the plurality of rods can be actuated in parallel by the one or more actuators causing an adjustment of the shaping contour of the shaper relative to the component,
- wherein the shaper has a casing, which provides the shaping contour and which consists of an elastomer material and/or comprises the elastomer material, wherein
- the shaper is configured to spread the viscous material along the joint.
