Problems solved by technology

[0009] The main disadvantage of the manual systems used in the prior art is that such manual application results in extremely high manufacturing costs in terms of manufacturing time and labor
[0010] Another disadvantage is the inability to reproduce the quality of the final product, which mainly relies on the experience and skill of the operator performing the application
[0011] In particular, in operations involving the application of conductive elements to a plastic support, insufficient heating of the connection area can lead to incomplete application of the element to the support
Likewise, excessive heating can also lead to localized deterioration of plastic supports with forwardly weak joints during the cooling of the joint zone approx.
[0012] Therefore, insufficient heating of the connection area between the conductive part and the support surface can result in a large number of rejects during quality control inspections

Abstract

System (2) for automatically applying a coating element (4) to a support surface, comprising a heating device (1) for applying the coating element (4) along an application path of the support surface, by means of administration of heat obtained by the Joule effect, comprising a first electrode (5) and a second electrode (6) which can be connected to an electric power generator and are configured to form a part of an electric circuit, a portion of the coating element (4) being able to be arranged between said first electrode (5) and second electrode (6), so as to close said electric circuit, in such a way as to obtain heating by means of the Joule effect of the portion of the coating element (4) following a flow of current in the electric circuit, the overall configuration of the heating device being such that said first electrode (5) and second electrode (6) are able to be moved with respect to the coating element (4) during application of the coating element (4) to the support surface, automatic movement means (3) being able to move said device (1) along the path for applying the coating element (4) to the support surface.

Description

field of invention [0001] The present invention relates to systems and methods for applying a coating element to a support surface by providing heat, in particular heat obtained by the so-called Joule effect. [0002] More particularly, the invention relates to the application of conductive elements, so-called "busbars", to plastic supports for the production of heated windshields and / or photovoltaic panels. Background technique [0003] In the automotive field, wires are often applied to windshields to ensure rapid defrosting in weather conditions such as rain, snow or icing. [0004] Typically in the manufacture of windshields, two panes of glass are bonded face-to-face by a polyvinyl butyral (PVB) sheet as a safety glass preparation. [0005] In particular, during the manufacture of windshields incorporating conductive filaments, these conductive filaments are applied to polyvinyl butyral sheets before becoming an integral part of the windshield itself. [0006] The wir...
