Abstract

A method for forming a hemmed edge of a component includes providing a first blank and a second blank. The method also includes applying an adhesive to a top surface of the first blank with an adhesive distributor. The method also includes positioning the second blank over the first blank with a lower surface of the second blank positioned over the top surface of the first blank such that the adhesive is applied between the lower surface of the second blank and the top surface of the first blank. The method also includes folding a first edge of the first blank over the second blank such that a portion of the top surface of the first blank overlies the upper surface of the second blank. A distribution end of an adhesive distributor defines an opening that is wider in a width direction than in a height direction.
