Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
The present disclosure relates to an application apparatus for applying a sealing profile to a body component, including a roller head which is configured to, as a first station step, apply the sealing profile to a receiving surface of the body component, and comprising a drilling unit having a drill bit, wherein the drilling unit is configured to, as further station step, drill holes into the sealing profile by means of the drill bit.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1 . An application apparatus for applying a sealing profile to a body component, comprising: a roller head configured to, as a first station step, apply the sealing profile to a receiving surface of the body component, including a drilling unit having a drill bit, wherein the drilling unit is configured to, as further station step, drill holes into the sealing profile by means of the drill bit. 2 . The application apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the drilling unit is assigned to an arrangement position which defines a drilling of the sealing profile as further station step prior to an application of the sealing profile. 3 . The application apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the drilling unit is assigned to an arrangement position which defines a drilling of the sealing profile as further station step during an application of the sealing profile. 4 . The application apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the drilling unit is assigned to an arrangement position which defines a drilling of the sealing profile as further station step after an application of the sealing profile. 5 . The application apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the application apparatus is assigned a control unit, wherein the control unit is configured to control the roller head and the drilling unit. 6 . The application apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the drill bit of the drilling unit is oriented along a drilling axis, wherein the drilling axis of the drill bit can be adjusted by means of an actuator unit of the application apparatus. 7 . The application apparatus of claim 6 , wherein the drilling axis of the drill bit can be adjusted in a first spatial direction (X) and/or in a second spatial direction (Y) and/or in a third spatial direction (Z). 8 . The application apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the drilling unit includes a suction-removal unit which is configured for suction removal of chips produced during the drilling of the sealing profile. 9 . The application apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the drilling unit comprises at least one sensor unit which is configured to monitor a drilling operation carried out by the drill bit of the drilling unit. 10 . The application apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising an arrangement interface by way of which the application apparatus is arranged on a movable robot arm or on a station carrier.
