on the threads of threaded fasteners in particular it is often necessary to create a significantly larger diameter projection along the outer surface of the fastener to meet the temporary retention pull off force necessary for a given specification this is usually best accomplished by shooting a long bead of material 14 from the gun 46 which tends to lay down lengthwise in the thread grooves the result is a crescent shaped deposit of material whose projection above the part surface has a broader radial extent the ability of the guns 46 to vary the amount and volume of material 14 and timing of a given shot of material and precision placement of the shot allows this capability as such the present invention can be utilized to provide deposits of material 14 on parts 12 along any portion of the entire 360 u00b0 circumference of a part 12 once the parts 12 leave the area of the one or more guns 46 that are present they are then moved by the wheel 20 to allow sufficient time while they are still rotating on their individual pins 40 for the base of the deposit 15 of material 14 to wet on the parts 12 and for the deposit 15 to attain the final desired shape the centrifugal force resulting from the rotation of the pins 40 and parts 12.
