DEVICE FOR APPLYING A RUBBER PROFILE

A device for applying a rubber profile to a surface comprises a robot arm moving and guiding a guide head into a position to apply the rubber profile along a defined contour on the surface. A feed device connected to the guide head feeds the rubber profile onto the surface at a defined speed. A guide element on the guide head guides the rubber profile. The feed device includes a motorized drive roller, with a profiled circumferential surface, and a counter-element with a passage for the rubber profile formed between the drive roller and the counter-element, such that the profiled circumferential surface engages the rubber profile A control unit detects the speed of the guide head where the rubber profile is applied to the surface and controls a drive roller such that the rubber profile is advanced on the basis of this speed.
