ABSTRACT:
An automated apparatus for applying sealant, for example to insulated glass, is disclosed. The apparatus comprises a computer control and a support structure on which is movably disposed a sealant applicator. The sealant applicator is selectively positionable along at least one axis via the computer control one or more sensors operate to provide the computer control with data regarding sealant application as the sealant is applied. The computer control is further operative to both determine the depth of sealant to be applied, and to effect positioning of the sealant applicator in response to data from the one or more sensors such that sealant applied does not exceed the determined depth.
