Abstract
An elongated component part, extending across the width of a moving material web, can be adjusted for the purpose of applying a liquid or viscid medium onto the moving material web. The component part is supported by a supporting beam and is equipped with an adjustment fixture including a plurality of adjustment devices which are arranged along the length of the elongated component part at the support locations. The adjustment devices are separated from each other and adjusted for achieving a forced deformation of the component part in a direction that is perpendicular to their longitudinal axis. The adjustment positions of the respective adjustment devices are recorded. Imaginary connecting lines between the free ends of two respective, neighboring support locations are formed. An angle between two respective, neighboring connecting lines is calculated. The respective, calculated angle is compared with a pre-determined boundary angle. Either the respective adjustment device is adjusted by a pre-determined adjustment distance until the desired angle is achieved, or the adjustment of the respective adjustment device is terminated in case the pre-determined boundary angle is reached.
