If it is the same as the preset value, the control unit will then control the glue applicator 30 to apply glue along the preset value. The path (not shown) is glued, and finally, the control unit will control the 3D scanner 20 to scan the glue application path to confirm the glue application status of the glue application path. Moreover, when the hot melt glue in the glue applicator 30 is exhausted, the control unit will control the multi-axial displacement mechanism 10 to move to the glue changing station 60 to replace the glue applicator 30 (as shown in FIG. 5 ).
