Activation device for a device for applying in particular adhesively heat-activatable edge strips on plate-like workpieces

摘要

The invention relates to an activation device for a device for applying in particular adhesively heat-activatable edge strips (1) to plate-like workpieces, comprising at least one hot gas supply (9) for supplying heated and pressurized hot gas (12) into an activation space (26) the hot gas (12) heats the heat-activatable layer of the edge strip (1), and at least one collecting device (8) for collecting and discharging the heated hot gas (12) from the activation space (26). In this case, the activation space (26) is formed bounded in such a way that the hot gas (12) flowing through the activation space (26) is led largely completely within the activation space (26) from the hot gas supply (9) to the collecting means (8) for the hot gas (12) without being able to escape from the activation space (26).
