Abstract:
1. A method for adhesive application in vehicle construction during joining of joining partners which are subject to tolerances, wherein the adhesive is capable of flowing such that it distributes in and fills a joint gap of the joining partners, comprising: detecting the geometric data of the joining partners in an automated manner, detecting the joint gap dimensions of the joining partners from the detected geometric data, determining the amount of the flowable adhesive to be applied on the basis of the joint gap dimensions, joining the joining partners in the joining position thereof, applying the flowable adhesive in the joint gap in a temporary gap position and bringing the joining partners into the final position, or applying the flowable adhesive in the joint gap when the final joining position is reached, wherein the flowable adhesive distributes in the joint gap and fills the joint gap, and applying lateral or surface-edge limiting elements consisting of a second adhesive to at least one adhered surface of a joining partner in the joint gap, wherein the lateral or surface-edge limiting elements prevent the flowable adhesive applied in the joint gap from escaping, wherein the lateral or surface-edge limiting elements remain at the bonded joint after curing, and wherein the second adhesive is cured together with the adhesive applied in the joint gap or separately therefrom.
