ABSTRACT:
The present invention is an automated sealant applicator held by a gantry tool and is computer directed and controlled for performing sealant operations on workpieces. The automated sealant applicator is computer directed and controlled for moving around a workpiece and for applying controlled amounts of sealants along precise paths, and with desired sealant patterns. The amount, path, and pattern of sealant are derived from engineering data. A CCD advanced vision system and/or a cutter chuck with a positioning and locating system can be used to precisely locate and apply sealant to the workpiece.
