An applicator head for a vacuum coating system includes a manifold shell having opposing shell plates, each including a conduit attachment coupled to a shell aperture. An applicator manifold is affixed to each shell plate. Each applicator manifold includes two coupled manifold plates, with one including a manifold aperture, and each is affixed to the respective shell plate so that each manifold aperture aligns with the respective shell aperture. An applicator channel is formed between the manifold plates of each applicator manifold, and the applicator channel is fluidically coupled to the manifold aperture of each respective applicator manifold. Each applicator channel forms an applicator port at a leading edge of each respective applicator manifold, and each leading edge is configured to be complementary in shape to an edge of a workpiece to be coated. First and second face plates are disposed over the leading edges of the applicator manifolds.

A coating apparatus is provided. The coating apparatus includes a coater, configured to move and perform coating along a first direction, the coater includes a coating head and a coating head movement mechanism, the coating head movement mechanism is configured to make the coating head move along a plane intersected with the first direction and rotate in the plane intersected with the first direction.

A fluid application device for mechanical fasteners such as rivets, screws, bolts, and similar fasteners, and a robot end effector including such a device as well as a robot being equipped therewith. The fluid application device includes a fluid application element having a curved application surface, wherein the curved application surface includes a channel configured to receive a fluid. A brush is arranged at the curved application surface such that the fluid is able to wet the brush elements. The device further includes a gripping device configured to push a mechanical fastener against the wetted brush elements.

A coating device includes a sheet conveyor, a coating nozzle, and a gap adjuster. The sheet conveyor conveys an electrode sheet. The coating nozzle discharges an electrode material and an insulating material toward the electrode sheet being conveyed. The gap adjuster adjusts a spacing between the coating nozzle and the electrode sheet being conveyed. The coating nozzle has an electrode material discharge component that discharges an electrode material and an insulating material discharge component that discharges an insulating material. The electrode material discharge component and the insulating material discharge component are disposed side by side in a direction intersecting a conveyance direction of the electrode sheet. The gap adjuster simultaneously adjusts a spacing between the electrode sheet being conveyed and the electrode material discharge component, and a spacing between this electrode sheet and the insulating material discharge component.

Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to apparatus and methods for cleaning an exhaust path of a semiconductor process tool. One embodiment provides an exhaust pipe section and a pipe cleaning assembly connected between a semiconductor process tool and a factory exhaust. The pipe cleaning assembly includes a residue remover disposed in the exhaust pipe section. The residue remover is operable to move in the exhaust pipe section to dislodge accumulated materials from an inner surface of the exhaust pipe section.

Systems for removing gas from a sealant and transferring gas-less sealant to an applicator are provided. The system may comprise: a rotatable chamber including: a first opening for receiving sealant; a hollow conduit arranged such that when gas accumulates in the center of the rotatable chamber when the rotatable chamber is rotating, the gas is ventable from the rotatable chamber; a second opening for receiving gas-less sealant from the rotatable chamber after the gas is vented from the hollow conduit; and a motor operatively configured to rotate the rotatable chamber; and a gas-less sealant applicator in fluid communication with the second opening of the rotatable chamber such that gas-less sealant released by the second opening is flowable into the applicator. The system may also include a robot arm including an end effector with a sealant dispensing nozzle. A method for applying sealant to an aircraft structure is also provided.
