The invention relates to a system and method for joining non-transparent parts by means of a radiation curable adhesive.
When parts are to be joined by means of a face coating of an electromagnetic radiation curable adhesive, at least one of the two parts needs to be transparent for the radiation initiating curing so that the adhesive can be activated and cured by the radiation.
Known from DE 10 2005 002 076 A1 is a method for producing a metal-framed glass pane component in which a pane of glass is cemented to a frame element by means of a UV curable adhesive. Disposed between the glass pane and the frame element is a bevelled gap which is filled with the adhesive utilizing the capillary effect. Once the gap is filled the adhesive is cured by means of UV irradiation.
