Abstract
The present disclosure relates to an application apparatus for applying a sealing profile to a bodywork part, comprising a roller head, which is designed to apply the sealing profile to a receiving surface of the bodywork part, and at least one further functional unit for performing a further station step, wherein the at least one further functional unit is respectively designed as a functional module from a set of functional modules.
Claims20
An application apparatus for applying a sealing profile to a bodywork part, comprising:
- a base body including four metallic plates connected to one another at right angles so that the base body has a rectangular outline, wherein each of the four metallic plates has a configuration different than the others;
- a roller head, configured to apply the sealing profile to a receiving surface of the bodywork part, forming a first station step;
- and
- at least one further functional unit, configured to perform a further station step associated with the sealing profile and/or the application of the sealing profile, wherein the at least one further functional unit is respectively designed as a functional module from a set of functional modules, wherein the base body includes the roller head and a plurality of predetermined arrangement positions, wherein a specific arrangement position from the plurality of predetermined arrangement positions is assigned to a respective functional module from the set of functional modules for arranging on the base body, wherein each functional module of the application apparatus is arranged at the arrangement position assigned to the respective functional module.
A modular kit for constructing an application apparatus, comprising:
- a plurality of modules with predefined properties, from which different variants of the application apparatus can be constructed, including:
- basic modules, which are always a part of the kit and always incorporated into the constructed application apparatus;
- and
- supplementary modules, which are always a part of the kit and sometimes incorporated into the constructed application apparatus;
- wherein the basic modules include a base body and a roller head;
- wherein the supplementary modules include a drilling unit, a cleaning unit, at least one sensor unit and a severing unit.
