Claim Text:
1. A method for sealing insulating glass blanks, the method comprising: introducing, from at least one sealing nozzle, a sealing compound into an outwardly open edge joint of the insulating glass blank, a relative movement being carried out between the sealing nozzle and the insulating glass blank; measuring the length of a material tongue that is made of sealing compound forming sealing compound emerging in front of the sealing nozzle through the sealing nozzle by feeding a gas stream to a sensor, which is disposed in front of the sealing nozzle relative to the predetermined direction of movement of the sealing nozzle, data of the gas stream, which changes because of the change of the cross-sectional area, which is available for the discharge of the gas stream, fed to the sensor, from the sensor and which depends on the length of the material tongue that is made of sealing compound emerging from the sealing nozzle, being acquired; and regulating the supply of the sealing compound to the sealing nozzle and/or the relative speed between the sealing nozzle and the insulating glass blank based on the detected length of the material tongue.
