The applicator () has a receiving device () for receiving a applying module such as a blade module (). The receiving device () is formed in a way so that the applying module () can be exchangeably inserted into and removed from the receiving device () in a way that a predetermined position of the applying module () in the receiving device () is reproducibly determined.
