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.

A transportable vehicle enclosure for painting vehicles includes side, front, rear, ceiling and floor portions, one of the portions being configured to allow vehicular access. In use, a vehicle may be placed within the enclosure. The enclosure further includes an air handling unit for respectively producing a first temperature level within the enclosure suitable for a spray mode of operation and a second temperature level within the enclosure suitable for a baking mode of operation.

A spray booth for spraying pieces to be painted with a painting product includes a system that conveys the pieces to be painted inside the booth, a supplying circuit that supplies a painting product or solvent to painting tools, a plenum, a mobile wall providing access to the inside of the spray booth, optionally a reading system for the pieces to be painted, optionally a filtering system, a plurality of spraying tools that include one or more a spray guns each placed on an independent arm moving on a plane and optionally in a vertical direction, one or more cleaning stations, placed in correspondence of the mobile wall and provided with a drawer that is mobile between rest and a cleaning positions and that includes a painting product or solvent draining tube having a mouth, a slot for supplying compressed air, and a brush for brushing the spray guns.

A transportable vehicle enclosure (1) for painting vehicles includes side, front (6), rear (5), ceiling (4) and floor (3) portions, one of the portions being configured to allow vehicular access; whereby, in use, a vehicle (2) may be placed within the enclosure; the enclosure further including an air handling unit (18) for respectively producing a first temperature level within the enclosure suitable for a spray mode of operation and a second temperature level within the enclosure suitable for a baking mode of operation.

The disclosure relates to a painting installation for painting components with a paint, in particular for painting motor vehicle body components, with a paint booth and an application device, in particular a print head, arranged in the paint booth, for applying the paint to the component located inside the paint booth, the application device operating essentially without overspray, so that the paint applied by the application device essentially completely on the component to be coated without overspray deposits. The disclosure provides that no paint separation is arranged below the first paint booth.

A station for treating objects may include: a booth including at least one entrance for an object and at least one exit for the object; a system configured to move the object between the at least one entrance and the at least one exit; at least one robot configured to treat the object in the booth; and/or a platform configured to support the object. The platform may be configured to rotate about a vertical axis so as to rotate the object inside the booth relative to the at least one robot. The at least one entrance may not be aligned with the at least one exit. The system may be configured to rotate with the platform so as to align with the at least one entrance in order to receive the object, and so as to align with the at least one exit in order to release the object.

A working chamber system for the surface treatment of workpieces comprises at least one tightly closable work chamber (101), a frame-like workpiece holder (10, 20, 30) which is displaceable on a guide rail between a mounting position outside the work chamber (101) and a working position in the work chamber (101), and a manipulator which, as seen in plan view, is arranged next to a group of parallel guide rails within the work chamber (101). At least one of the workpiece holders (10, 20, 30) has an external frame (11, 21, 31), via which it is guided in the guide rails, and an internal frame (12, 22, 32) which is surrounded by the external frame (11, 21, 31) in a transporting position and which is displaceable into a position outside the main plane of the external frame (11, 21, 31) in the mounting position and/or the working position.

In order to provide a method for fault analysis in an industrial-method plant, for example a painting plant, by means of which fault situations are analysable simply and reliably, it is proposed according to the invention that the method should comprise the following: in particular automatic recognition of a fault situation in the industrial-method plant (101); storage of a fault situation data set for the respective recognised fault situation, in a fault database (136); automatic determination of a cause of the fault for the fault situation and/or automatic determination of process values that are relevant to the fault situation, on the basis of the fault data set of a respective recognised fault situation.

A material application and curing system incorporating a spray booth connected alongside a curing chamber along with a pivoting cantilever therebetween adapted to swing materials between them, such that materials can be coated with substances in the spray booth and then quickly, easily, and efficiently transferred to the curing chamber.
