The disclosure concerns an applicator for applying a coating agent (e.g. sealing agent) to a component, in particular for sealing or bonding a flanged seam to the motor vehicle body component. The applicator in accordance with the disclosure first has a nozzle for dispensing the coating agent in a specific jet direction onto a component surface of the component to be coated. In addition, the applicator has a nozzle carrier for positioning the nozzle. The nozzle carrier is hollow on at least part of its length to pass the coating agent. Furthermore, the nozzle carrier comprises a plurality of limbs arranged one behind the other and angled relative to each other. The nozzle is arranged on the nozzle carrier, in particular on the distal limb of the nozzle carrier. The disclosure provides that a spacer, which projects from the distal limb in the jet direction and rests on the component surface of the component to be coated in the coating operation, is mounted externally on the nozzle carrier and thereby sets a predetermined application distance between the nozzle and the component surface.

An apparatus (200) for smoothing a surface of an object (100). The apparatus includes a chamber (210), a reservoir (324) configured to hold a liquid (322), and a nebulizer assembly (212) configured to generate a mist (104) from the liquid into the chamber. The nebulizer assembly includes a mesh (732), a vibrating element (731), and a wick (736). The object is received in the chamber and the mist is configured to surround the object.

A liquid spraying system having an elongated liquid supply boom and a plurality of spray nozzle assemblies. The spray nozzle assemblies have a compact design with a nozzle body having a liquid inlet and a first spray nozzle carrying liquid outlet section on opposite upper and lower sides, second and third spray nozzle carrying liquid outlet sections disposed in transverse relation to the supply boom; and first and second check valve supporting sections disposed parallel to the liquid supply boom. A first of check valves is operable for controlling liquid flow from the supply boom to one or both of the second and third spray nozzles, and a second check valve is operable for controlling liquid flow from said liquid inlet to said first spray nozzle. The illustrated check valves are operable in response to the pressure of the supply liquid.

A substrate processing apparatus includes a liquid processing tank, a movement mechanism, an ejector, and a controller. The liquid processing tank stores a processing liquid. The movement mechanism moves a plurality of substrates immersed in the liquid processing tank to a position above the liquid surface of the processing liquid. The ejector ejects a vapor of an organic solvent toward portions of the plurality of substrates that are exposed from the liquid surface. The controller changes an ejection flow rate of the vapor ejected by the ejector as the plurality of substrates are moved up.

A release agent spraying device that sprays a release agent to a die of a forming apparatus main body, the release agent spraying device includes a motor, a moving nozzle that advances and retreats in a direction intersecting a moving direction of the die and jets the release agent from a tip, and a connection mechanism that connects the motor to the moving nozzle and advances and retreats the moving nozzle by a rotation output of the motor in one direction.

An anti-spatter spray containment system includes: an enclosure having a nozzle insertion orifice on a first side and a drain orifice on a second side of the enclosure; a spray nozzle configured to spray fluid toward a nozzle inserted into the nozzle insertion orifice, wherein the enclosure is configured to funnel the fluid in a direction toward the second side; and a baffle configured to block at least a first portion of sprayed fluid from the spray nozzle from exiting the enclosure via the nozzle insertion orifice, the first side configured to block at least a second portion of the sprayed fluid from the spray nozzle that is not blocked by the baffle.

The present invention relates to a device for processing a component, comprising: a travel carriage having a frame which defines an axis of translation along which the travel carriage is translationally movable, a bogie which is relatively rotatably connected to the frame and to which the component is attachable, a first translation-permanent magnet device which is mounted on the frame and having permanent magnets, a rotation-permanent magnet device attached to the bogie and having permanent magnets, and a carriage-side longitudinal guide means mounted on the frame, a stationary travel carriage guide device having a guide-side longitudinal guide means, a first electromagnet translation device with electromagnets which magnetically interact with the permanent magnets of the first translation-permanent magnet device, a first rotation-electromagnet device having electromagnets which magnetically interact with the permanent magnets of the rotation-permanent magnet device, and a controller connected to the first translating electromagnet device and to the first rotation-electromagnet device to control its electromagnets to control the translational movement of the travel carriage and the rotational movement of the bogie.

The present invention relates to a substrate treatment apparatus including: a substrate support assembly having a chuck base installed rotatably with a rotating shaft; a fluid supply unit for supplying treatment fluid to top of a substrate; and a back nozzle assembly disposed in a hollow portion formed on a central portion of the chuck base to dispense the treatment fluid to the underside of the substrate.

A spray gun alignment system precisely aligns a spray gun of a container spray machine for precision application of container coatings. The spray gun alignment system generates a spray gun alignment jig including a container holder adapter and a spray gun adapter. The container holder adapter is inserted into a container holder of the spray machine, and the spray gun adapter is fastened to the spray gun. The spray gun alignment jig is configured to position the spray gun in proper alignment with respect to the container holder.
