An effective implementation is shown for a height adjustment system for a plurality of spray guns used in a line striper.

Methods of dispensing fluid are disclosed. A first applicator is positioned above a first dispense site at a first dispense region of a first electronic substrate by moving the first applicator using a primary positioner. A second applicator is simultaneously positioned above a first dispense site at a second dispense region of the first electronic substrate by moving the second applicator together with the first applicator using the primary positioner and moving the second applicator relative to the first applicator using a secondary positioner. It is then determined that the first or the second dispense region is misaligned relative to the other of the first or the second dispense region. Fluid is dispensed from the first applicator while moving the first applicator using the primary positioner to form a first fluid pattern at the first dispense region and fluid is simultaneously dispensed from the second applicator while moving the second applicator using the primary positioner and the secondary positioner.

A spray coating apparatus is provided, wherein a nozzle is arranged to traverse a fabric in one direction whilst simultaneously spraying and oscillating in another direction. The fabric is spray coated with a first pass having a spray zone having uneven distribution in the direction of oscillation, and particularly with a greater density of fluid coverage toward the centre of the spray zone than an edge. The nozzle forming a second and subsequent pass that is off-set from the first and each subsequent pass respectively. The second and each subsequent pass being arranged to overlap with a portion of the previous pass, thereby providing an improved distribution of the spray coating. Moreover, because the spray coating is incremental, the method is easily adaptable to integrate with an ink jet printing process.

An applicator and method of use is disclosed for applying coatings and paints to various surfaces. As shown, the sprayer may have an undercarriage frame that supports three-wheels. All three wheels may run parallel with the first wheels and second wheels attached to the sprayer frame via an undercarriage with the third wheel positioned behind and between both the first and second wheels on a separate arm or frame. The width of the sprayer booms may be adjusted. The undercarriage may be folded entirely or only a portion therein. The arm of the third wheel may be folded or telescope, as required by a particular application. A handle, which may be adjustable, may be positioned between the sprayer frame and the undercarriage. Use of the applicator according to the method discussed herein reduces operator fall exposure and increases application efficiency.

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.

Described herein is an atomizer changing system, including a master unit and at least one slave unit, where the master unit has at least the following components: a releasable connecting element, surrounding a center of the master unit, for a nonpositive and positive connection (KS, FS) of the master unit to the slave unit, a coupling plate arranged in the center of the master unit and having a plurality of coupling points for supplying an atomizer that can be connected thereto with substances, energy and/or information, and an adapter for connecting the master unit to a hollow wrist of a coating robot; and where the slave unit has at least the following components: a coupling plate for connecting the slave unit to the master unit and to the atomizer; and a releasable connecting element for connecting the slave unit to the atomizer.

A method for applying a coating product using the drop on demand technology, wherein the coating product is deposited by a robot applicator including a controller and at least one nozzle with sequential opening, commanded by the controller, the method including moving the nozzle of the robot applicator between a starting point and an arrival point, the projections of which, along the ejection axis of the nozzle, on the surface to be coated, define first and second reference points respectively belonging to two edges of the surface to be coated, in order to deposit a series of drops between the two edges, the spacing between the respective centers of two successive drops being adjusted by the controller as a function of the length of the journey between the two reference points and such that the last drop is deposited in a centered manner on the second reference point.

The invention relates to a cooling lubricant nozzle carrier (100) for a grinding machine (1), the cooling lubricant nozzle carrier (100) having a central limb (150) and two side limbs (130, 140) arranged on the central limb (150) such that they can move relative to the central limb (150), and the cooling lubricant nozzle carrier (100) having at least two cooling lubricant nozzles (110, 120), at least one of which is arranged on each of the side limbs (130, 140), wherein the side limbs (130, 140) are each movably mounted relative to the central limb (150) in such a way that the cooling lubricant nozzle (110, 120) arranged on a particular side limb (130, 140) moves together with the side limb (130, 140) on a circular path when the side limb (130, 140) in question moves; a grinding machine having such a cooling lubricant nozzle carrier; and a method for operating such a grinding machine.

A high-volume low-pressure end effector is presented. The high-volume low-pressure end effector comprises a connection arm and a spray head. The connection arm comprises a housing with flexible conduits running through the housing. The spray head has integral channels configured to receive air and a fluid from the flexible conduits and deliver the air and the fluid to a number of outlets.
