A method for the dimensionally accurate application of an elastoplastic spacer strip onto a glass pane intended for producing an insulating glass unit is that the spacer strip is not withdrawn from the storage drum but instead it is unwound in a manner free from any tensile stress and that the same is kept free from tensile and shearing stresses on the further route up to the pressing onto the glass pane, this being despite the fact that the application speed will inevitably fluctuate several times between zero, and a maximum value while edges of the glass pane are covered mechanically. The apparatus for performing the method therefore comprises a compensating or tailback section (3) between a first adjustably driven pair of rollers (1) and a second adjustably driven pair of rollers (9) as well as a sensor for recognizing the position of the strip in the compensating section.
A method for the mechanical application of an elastoplastic strip as a spacer onto a glass pane which is intended for assembly with at least one further glass pane into an insulating glass unit, comprising:
