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. 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 1):
A process for gluing two components on a vehicle-body assembly line, comprising the steps of:\n providing a first component and a second component; applying a layer of glue on at least one of said first component or on said second component; and coupling together said first and second components, with said layer of glue set in between; said process being characterized in that, before applying said layer of glue on at least one of said first or second components, the process further comprising: measuring the temperature of at least one of the first component or of the second component; and thermally conditioning at least one of the first component or the second component via heat-conditioning means controlled on the basis of the temperature measured so as to bring at least a portion of said at least one of the first component or said second component on which the glue will be applied to a pre-set temperature, even before said layer of glue is applied on said parts.
