Abstract (en)

The invention relates to an apparatus (1) for applying a liquid material to a plurality of parts (100). The apparatus comprises at least a first gun (30a) through which the material can be applied to the parts (100), a reservoir (40) for holding the material, the reservoir (40) being fluidically connected to the first gun (40a), a pressure system (50) for providing a gas pressure acting on the material located in the reservoir (40), the pressure system (50) having a pressure regulator (51), by means of which the gas pressure acting on the material can be adjusted, and a pressure sensor (52) for detecting the gas pressure acting on the material, a temperature sensor (70) for detecting the temperature of the material, and a control unit (60) in which a material-specific function is stored which specifies a setpoint value for the gas pressure which depends on the detected temperature of the material. The invention relates also to a method to determine the material-specific function.
