High-viscosity sealant application system

Abstract:

A method and apparatus for applying a sealant material. A nozzle system may be positioned relative to a structure using a robotic device. The sealant material may be applied in a number of streams onto a structure using the nozzle system and the robotic device to form a sealant deposit having a desired shape in which the sealant material has a viscosity greater than a selected threshold.
