Abstract

See full text

An apparatus and method for providing pressure for bonding parts together. The apparatus may comprise a plurality of bladders independently actuatable to apply pressure for pushing a second part toward a first part having adhesive thereon. The apparatus may further comprise a frame supporting a plurality of reconfigurable bladder retainer devices positioned and angled such that the configuration of the bladders matches the contour of the second part. The bladders may expand and contract according to a sequence dictated by a control device, such that excess air and adhesive between the first and second part may be substantially squeegeed toward outer edges of the parts.
