An application apparatus includes a nozzle device () injecting a damping material from a nozzle hole () to a vehicle body, an articulated robot () moving the nozzle device () relative to the vehicle body, a supply section including a supply pump (), and a supply passage (), and continuously driving the supply pump () to continuously supply the damping material from the supply pump () to the supply passage () in a substantially uniform amount, a return passage () branched from the supply passage () and returning the damping material to the supply pump (), and a gun () and a return valve () switching a supply destination of the damping material between the nozzle hole () and the return passage () based on information on applying the damping material to the vehicle body.

Application apparatus for applying cohesive material to application target

The present invention provides a robot system in which a robot and a positioner are combined with each other. In the robot system, footprint is reduced and a production line having a short tact time between steps is formed. The robot system includes a work object, robots that perform a work operation on the work object, and positioners that position the work object, wherein the robots are provided on frame members of the positioners.
