<p>An apparatus and method for applying a flowable material (4) such as anti-seize composition to a workpiece is provided which utilizes a plurality of elongated nozzles (17) insertably accommodated through a fixture plate (15) to deposit such material onto the workpiece in a predetermined pattern. The fixture plate (15) is provided with a corresponding number of apertures which accommodate different sizes and numbers of nozzles (17) so that material may be applied to a large variety of workpieces without significant maintenance and modification to the device. The fixture plate (15) is essential to define a predetermined clearance between an outlet through which the flowable material escapes from a nozzle (17) and a surface onto which such material is applied and further cleans the nozzles in between application cycles to prevent overrun onto a workpiece surface.</p> |
