The invention relates to a device for applying a dry film (003) to a web-like carrier substrate (006), comprising at least one first application unit (101), which comprises a first roller (102) and a second roller (103), which rotates counter to the first roller (102) according to the operating situation and forms a first gap (104) with the first roller, and a first pressing roller (103 '; 106), which is connected to the second roller (103) or arranged between the first pressing roller (103 '; 106) and a further roller between the second roller (103) together form a second gap (107), through which a substrate path for the carrier substrate (006) to be coated is guided, and a measuring device (413) for measuring the
gram weight (FG) of the dry film (003), which measuring device comprises sensor means (413.1; 413.2) for adjusting the
gap width (b104) of the first gap (104) and / or for adjusting the
gap width (b104) of the first roller (102; 103) in the direction of the second roller (103) is provided with an adjustment drive (109; 111) for rotationally driving the first or second roller (102; 103) for driving at least the rotation of the first or second roller (102; 103) and a drive mechanism (148; 149) of the measuring device (143), the sensor means (413.1; 413.2) as a
control circuit (RFG; 413.2) for controlling the
gram weight (FG). R 'FG) is held in
signal connection with a control and / or regulation device (156), which is designed to control the control and / or regulation device (156) on the basis of the basis weight (FG) determined by the measuring device (143) via a
signal connection with the adjustment drive (109; 132) for driving a drive mechanism (132; 155) to vary the
gap width (b104) of the first gap (104) and / or via a
signal connection with the first or second roller (102; 103) and a drive mechanism (148; 149) for changing the ratio between the circumferential speed V (102) of the first roller (102) and the circumferential speed V (103) of the second roller (103), and further relates to a method for applying a dry film (003) to a web-shaped carrier substrate (008).
