The invention belongs to the technical field of control over the glue coating quality and glue coating amount of automatic parts and particularly relates to an automatic control device for the glue coating amount of an automatic part and a control method. The automatic control device for the glue coating amount of the automatic part comprises a microcomputer, an exchanger, an adjuster, a glue coating camera, a glue amount executing mechanism and a glue coating manipulator. The control method of the automatic control device for the glue coating amount of the automatic part comprises the steps that firstly, a target parameter of the glue tape width, a target parameter of the glue tape thickness and a glue outlet state parameter adjusting scheme are set, and an initial value of a glue outletstate parameter and a target glue coating amount parameter of the glue amount executing mechanism are obtained; secondly, a corresponding signal of glue outlet preparation completion is transmitted tothe glue coating manipulator; thirdly, the glue amount executing mechanism starts glue outlet; fourthly, an image signal is sent to the microcomputer; fifthly, the current glue coating amount is obtained; sixthly, the glue outlet state parameter is adjusted; and seventhly, the glue outlet state is changed. The circulating time of the working process is smaller than 500 microseconds, the responseis rapid, and it is ensured that automatic control over the glue coating amount is stable and reliable.
