Abstract
An apparatus (10) and method for reducing stringing of adhesive from a nozzle (20) of a dispensing apparatus (12) includes a pneumatically driven cylinder (50) which translates the source of adhesive co-linear with the translating substrate (100). The gun (14) is alternately translated at speeds equal to or greater than the substrate (100), with the object of causing the string (102) of adhesive to fall back onto the substrate (100) in a desired location rather than become airborne and fly away to undesirable locations.
