- the second base hanger and, with the intermediary of the second base hanger, the second side door held on the second base hanger are removed from the second conveyor element located in the removal area 5 and moved to the bogie 10, in particular while the bogie 10 is moving in the second rotary position is located.
- the second base hanger and, with the intermediary of the second base hanger, the second side door held on the second base hanger are supported on the bogie 10 by means of the first robot 9 and are thereby arranged in the area B2 while the bogie 10 is in the second rotary position and while by means of of the second robot 15 the seal 3 is applied to the side door 2.
- the second basic hanger and the second side door are initially arranged in the transfer area 11 .
- the bogie 10 and with it the base hanger 6, the second base hanger, the side door 2 and the second side door are rotated from the second rotary position into the first rotary position by rotating the bogie 10 by 180 degrees in particular is rotated about the axis of rotation 13 relative to the floor 14 .
- the base hanger 6 and the side door 2 are moved, in particular rotated, from the application area 12 into the transfer area 11, and the second base hanger and the second side door are moved or rotated from the transfer area 11 into the application area 12.
- the base hanger 6 and, with the intermediary of the base hanger 6, the side door 2 held on the base hanger 6, to which the seal is applied are then removed from the bogie 10, which is in the first rotary position, and thus from the transfer area 11 the first conveying element 4 located in a return area 16 that is different from the removal area 5, in particular while a second seal is being applied to the second side door by means of the second robot 15.
- the second seal is applied to the second side door by means of the second robot 15, while the second side door is held on the second base hanger and, through the mediation of the second base hanger, on the bogie 10, while the bogie 10 is in the first Rotating position is and while the second side door and the second base hanger are in the application area 12.
- the base hanger 6 and, with the intermediary of the base hanger 6, the side door 2 held on the base hanger 6, to which the seal is applied, are arranged on the first conveyor element 4, in particular in a reversibly detachable manner, while the first conveyor element 4 is in the Return area 16 is located.
- the basic hanger 6 is hooked back onto or into the conveying element 4 and is thereby releasably connected to the conveying element 4 in a non-destructive manner.
- the side door 2 provided with the seal 3 and the basic hanger 6 can be conveyed by means of the conveying element 4 from the return area 16 into yet another area of the system 1 .
- the seal 3 is applied to the side door 2 by means of the robot 15, while the area B1 and thus a first side of the bogie 10 faces the robot 15 or is arranged in the application area 12 and while the bogie 10 is connected to the second Basic hanger and the second side door is loaded, thus while the second area B2 and thus a second side of the bogie 10 facing away from the first side faces the robot 9 and/or the second conveyor element or is arranged in the transfer area 11.
- the side door 2 with the seal 3 is removed from the bogie 10, while, for example, the second side door in the application area 12 is provided with the second seal.
- a third side door can be arranged via a third basic hanger in the area B1, for example by means of the robot 9, whereupon the third side door as before the first side door 2 can be provided with a third seal.
- the rotary frame 10 and thereby the second base hanger and the second side door are rotated from the first rotary position to the second rotary position, whereby the second side door and the second base hanger are moved from the application area 12 back into the transfer area 11 be moved.
- the second base hanger and, with the intermediary of the second base hanger, the second side door held on the second base hanger, to which the second seal is applied are removed from the bogie 10, which is in the second rotary position, and thus from the transfer area 11 is moved to the return area 16 located in the second conveyor element.
- the second basic hanger and, with the intermediary of the second basic hanger, the second side door held on the second basic hanger, to which the second seal is applied are arranged on the second conveyor element and are therefore connected to the second conveyor element in a non-destructively detachable manner, while the second conveying element is located in the return area 16.
- the second basic hanger and the second side door of the second conveying element can then also be conveyed out of the return area 16 into the wider area relative to the floor 14 .
- the system 1 and the method enable a particularly time-saving and cost-effective application of seals on side doors. Since the respective side door is not handled by means of a respective, special gripper held and remaining on the respective robot 9 or 15, but via the basic hanger assigned to the respective side door, a gripperless application of the seals is possible.
