Apparatus and method for producing sealing rings, also a control device and use thereof for this purpose, use of a rotatably mounted disc for this purpose, and a sealing ring

A device for producing sealing rings made of an endless-material, the device comprising:

• a feeder unit configured to convey and position the endless-material in at least one cutting position;
• a cutting unit configured to cut off a section of the endless-material;
• at least one gripper unit configured to grip and to displace the endless-material or the section of the endless-material and to control a displacement of at least one free end of the section of the endless-material along a predefined path of motion in and/or out of a wetting position;
• a control device connected with at least one of the feeder unit, the at least one gripper unit, and the cutting unit;
• and
• a feeding device for a bonding fluid, the feeding device being connected with the control device and being arranged so that the bonding fluid is deposited in a controlled manner on the at least one free end of the section of the endless material in the wetting position.

A sealing ring made of an endless-material, the sealing ring being produced by a method comprising:

• a controlled gripping of a cut section of the endless-material;
• displacing at least one free end of the cut section on a circular path along a predefined path of motion in a wetting position;
• and
• depositing of a bonding fluid on the at least one free end arranged in the wetting position.
