  • Patent number: 6245173
    Abstract: A window glass of a vehicle, to which a hot melt adhesive agent is applied, is pushed while the window glass is held by a jig which is mounted on a robot. An allowable range of temperature of the adhesive agent is set between an upper limit and a lower limit. The upper limit is one at which the adhesive agent comes to have such a holding force above a predetermined value as to prevent deviation of the window glass. The lower limit is one at which a compression reaction force when a bead of the adhesive agent applied to the window glass is crushed to a predetermined thickness becomes smaller than a predetermined value. The adhesive agent is applied to the window glass at such a temperature that the temperature thereof at the time of completion of pushing of the window glass falls within the allowable range. The apparatus for mounting the window glass has a jig for the window glass which is provided at a front end of a robot arm.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 5456753
    Abstract: A primer applicator which is movable along a surface of a workpiece such as an automobile window glass panel has a rotatable primer coating roller having an outer circumferential layer of soft resin. A robot arm which supports the primer applicator is actuated to move the primer applicator along the surface of the workpiece in rolling contact therewith to apply a primer to the surface of the workpiece. The primer is supplied to the outer circumferential layer of the primer coating roller when the primer coating roller rolls on the surface of the workpiece.
