A supply line for supplying a sealant from a sealant supply source to a sealing robot has pressure sensors and is coupled to relief valves through branch lines. If the pressure in the supply line excessively rises or drops, then the relief valves are opened to release the pressure from the supply line and the supply pump is inactivated. The pipes, devices, and pump on the supply line are therefore protected from damage. The sealing robot has an sealant applicator gun movable with respect to an article to which the sealant is to be applied by the sealing robot. A pump driving device is controlled to vary the rate at which the sealant is discharged from the pump as a function of the speed of relative movement of the sealant applicator gun with respect to the article.

Coating agent to coating robot, including a method and arrangement for

A sealing apparatus wherein the nozzle on the forward end portion of a sealing gun on a programmable industrial robot includes a nozzle holder and a nozzle body made of a flexible material. The forward inner end of the nozzle body can gradually diverge and a reinforcement pipe can be provided in the nozzle holder. The nozzle body can be in the form of a tubular brush made of nylon bristles, a solid tubular body of polyurethane foam or a solid tubular body of silicone rubber.
