Abstract:
A system and process for gluing two components together includes measuring the temperature of one or both panels to be glued together prior to application of the glue to the panels. If the measured temperature of the panel(s) is outside a predetermined range, the system and process thermally conditions the panel(s) to bring them into the predetermined temperature range for proper adhesion and known and controlled glued panel properties for subsequent riveting of the glued panels. A control unit with predetermined reference values is in communication with the system temperature sensors and thermal conditioning devices to provide uniform gluing quality irrespective of the environmental conditions of the assembly line.

Claim (Index 8):
A system for assembly on a vehicle-body assembly line, the system comprising:\n a station for gluing together a first component and a second component, the gluing station including a device operable to apply a layer of glue on said at least one of the first component or on said second component; a station for riveting together the first component and the second component, the riveting station including a device operable to apply a plurality of rivets through said first and second components coupled together, with said layer of glue set in between; at least one temperature sensor operable to detect a temperature of said at least one of the first component or of said second component; at least one heat-conditioning unit; and\n a control unit configured for controlling said at least one heat-conditioning unit in order to heat-condition said at least one first component, or said second component, or the layer of glue applied on said one of the first component or said second component on the basis of the temperature detected by said at least one temperature sensor.
