  • Tool connectable to a robot for the automatic installation of a sealing joint
    Patent number: 5765276
    Abstract: The present invention concerns a tool connectable to a robot for automatic installation of a sealing joint in a fillister or groove. The tool can be used, for example, for the automatic installation of a sealing joint around a vehicle door. The tool includes a frame designed to be attached to the wrist of a robot, and to which a functioning part of the tool is pivotally attached. The functioning part works in conjunction with the frame by means of pneumatic jacks which flexibly and precisely adapt the motion of the tool to the contour of the joint or of the element housing the joint along the path which the robot causes the tool to follow.
