Abstract:
Method for the adhesive bonding of a backing plate for a sensor assembly to a vehicle window, especially a windscreen of a passenger car or truck, the backing plate having an adhesive layer and being heated at least in the area of the adhesive layer by a heating device until the adhesive layer is sufficiently softened for the formation of an adhesive bonded connection, the backing plate being transferred into a contact pressure device, the contact pressure device pressing the backing plate with the adhesive layer on to the vehicle window for a predetermined length of time,wherein the heating device has a heater operable to emit infrared radiation, heating of the layer of adhesive being carried out until it has softened sufficiently by positioning the backing plate with the adhesive layer facing the heater relatively close to the heater for a predetermined length of time, and wherein the backing plate is preheated by a preheating device before being transferred to the heating device.
