Patent ID: 7001478

Claim:
A method for automated, series application of adhesive tape by way of a robot-controlled taping down tool, comprising: pressing adhesive tape, which has been pulled off from an adhesive tape roll, onto a surface to be covered by way of a holding device of the taping down tool so that the tape ceases being held on the holding device, moving the taping down tool a few centimeters in a covering direction, extending an application roller of the taping down tool which is arranged downstream of the holding device in a direction of the adhesive tape until the application roller acts upon the adhesive tape and presses it onto the surface to be covered, moving the taping down tool by a desired length of covering and holding an adhesive-tape section lying in the region of the holding device with the holding device, inclining the taping down tool so as to raise a guiding and deflecting roller relative to the application roller, and holding the adhesive tape by the holding device by application of negative pressure, severing the adhesive tape between the holding device and application roller, and retracting the application roller again.
