An apparatus for processing a substrate is provided. The apparatus includes: a levitation stage transferring a substrate in a first direction and including first areas and second areas, which are arranged in a second direction that is different from the first direction; a plurality of rollers installed in the first areas and transferring the substrate; a plurality of first vacuum holes installed in the first areas and sucking the air at first pressure; and a plurality of second vacuum holes installed in the second areas and sucking the air at second pressure that is different from the first pressure.

A device for spraying a liquid for use in dye penetration inspection into an inner cavity of a workpiece for making a turbine engine part, the device including a workpiece support, a manifold for spraying the inspection liquid into the inner cavity, a manifold for sucking up and discharging the sprayed inspection liquid, and a mechanism for tilting at least a portion of the support from a substantially horizontal position to an inclined position in which the workpiece is inclined so that the inspection liquid sprayed into the cavity flows under gravity to a zone from which it is sucked up.

A painting system includes a conveying mechanism adapted to convey a workpiece to be painted to a painting station, a holding and rotating mechanism mounted at the painting station and adapted to hold and rotate the workpiece, and a robot having a nozzle adapted to spray a paint on the workpiece held by the holding and rotating mechanism. The robot is configured to spray the paint onto the workpiece while the holding and rotating mechanism rotates the workpiece, spraying a layer of the paint on an outer surface of the workpiece.

Embodiments of the invention are directed to a thin film fabricating apparatus which may be employed in mass production and may stably provide a uniform nano-order layer. An exemplary embodiment of a thin film fabricating apparatus includes: an electrode bath which contains a thin film-forming material; a plurality of needle electrodes disposed in the electrode bath; a plurality of ring electrodes disposed on the electrode bath at positions corresponding to the needle electrodes; and a substrate stand disposed opposite to the needle electrodes and the ring electrodes, where the substrate stand holds the substrate, on which a thin film is to be formed.

Provided is a coating apparatus that allows high-quality coating by causing a coated object to pass through a falling curtain of paint without vibrating the coated object. A coating apparatus 1, which coats a surface of a plate-shaped coated object M, includes: a table 10, on which the coated object M is disposed; a flow coater head 20, from which a curtain of paint P falls; a gutter-shaped liquid receiver 30, which is disposed below the flow coater head 20 and which collects the paint P falling from the flow coater head 20; and a horizontal conveying portion 41, which conveys the table 10, on which the coated object M is disposed, in a horizontal direction to pass through the paint P falling from the flow coater head 20.

A dispensing system includes a dispensing unit assembly configured to dispense viscous material and a gantry coupled to the frame. The gantry is configured to support the dispensing unit assembly and to move the dispensing unit assembly in x-axis and y-axis directions. The dispensing unit assembly includes a support bracket secured to the gantry and a movable bracket rotatably coupled to the support bracket by a first strain wave gear system configured to enable the rotation of the movable bracket with respect to the support bracket about a first axis. The dispensing unit assembly further includes a dispensing unit rotatably coupled to the movable bracket by a second strain wave gear system configured to enable the rotation of the dispensing unit with respect to the movable bracket about a second axis generally perpendicular to the first axis.
