Abstract: The present invention relates to an apparatus for partially adhesively bonding add-on automotive parts with the aid of a two-component adhesive, wherein, according to the invention, the apparatus has a current line as an induction heater, the current line has an associated clamping apparatus which has an air shower which is directed at the parts of a workpiece which is to be adhesively bonded, said parts being clamped in beneath a jaw of the clamping apparatus, with the clamping apparatus pressing the workpiece, which is to be adhesively bonded, against the induction heater.

Abstract: A fluid cooled electric conductor for induction heating of a workpiece includes a flexible conductor which is enclosed within an insulating tube. The conductor is supported within the tube so as to be surrounded by a fluid conducting space or spaces. A support arrangement supports the tube. Temperature sensors adjust the heating process by, for example, operating variable-length holders that support the tube in a spaced relationship with a workpiece.
