A plurality of workpiece-holding spindles is arranged, each engaging an article being processed, and a plurality of trays, each removably engaging a plurality of said spindles. The trays are moved along a feeding line extending along a feeding path passing near a decoration module. By a transfer assembly, the spindles carrying the articles are transferred from the trays on the feeding path, to the decoration module. A decorative treatment is applied to the articles carried by the spindles, in correspondence with at least one treatment unit (40, 41, 42) operating along the decoration module. In correspondence with a painting module operatively connected with the feeding line, the articles carried by the spindles are painted.

A workpiece processing arrangement comprises a spray booth (2) defining a work space (21), and operable to provide a controlled environment for spraying of material, a first oven (4) located adjacent a first end of the spray booth, the first oven defining an internal zone, and a second oven (5) located adjacent a second end of the spray booth, the second oven defining an internal zone (51). The arrangement also includes a transport rail (6) which extends from the internal zone (41) of the first oven (4), through the work space (21) of the spray booth (2) into the internal zone (51) of the second oven (5), the transport rail (6) being adapted for transport of a workpiece (10) between the work space (21) of the spray booth (2) to the internal zone of the first or second oven (4, 5). A corresponding method of processing a work piece in such an arrangement indicates the steps to be used when processing a first and a second workpiece The ovens may have both a baking and a curing zone. A ventilation system with an air curtain (23) may be included.

Proposed are a home port, and a substrate processing apparatus and a home port cleaning method using the same. The home port includes a housing supported by a holder and having a space therein, a nozzle holder provided at an upper portion of the housing and mounting a nozzle for discharging a process liquid to a substrate, an inclined surface formed below the nozzle holder in the space, an exhaust hole exhausting fumes generated in the space of the housing, a rinse supply hole supplying a rinse liquid for removing a residual process liquid remaining on the inclined surface, a hinge provided at a lower portion of the housing and hingedly coupling the housing and the holder to enable rotation of the housing, and an actuating means rotating the housing in a direction in which the inclined surface is parallel to a ground surface on which the housing is installed.

This method for painting a surface (S62) of a component (6) with a pattern includes at least the following steps consisting in applying a first coating product on at least a portion of the surface, automatically applying at least one portion of a mask (12) on a portion (Z62) of the surface, applying a second coating product and on the surface and removing the mask (12). Preferably, the mask (12) is at least partially automatically applied in the form of at least one layer (122, 124, 126) of non-atomized fluid, the layer being obtained by moving (A1) an applicator (16) delivering the non-atomized fluid along the portion (Z62) of the surface (S62) where the mask (12) is to be applied.
