Methods and systems for manufacturing foam wall structures

Methods for manufacturing foam wall structures are described. The methods include placing a wall structure proximate to a robotic arm, orienting an imaging device so that the imaging device on the robotic arm faces a cavity in the wall structure, surveying the cavity using the imaging device, determining a spray foaming pattern to fill the cavity to a selected depth with a foam layer, orienting the spray nozzle so the spray nozzle faces the cavity, and spray-applying the foam-forming composition into the cavity to the selected depth by passing the foam-forming composition through the spray nozzle to form the foam layer. Foam wall structure manufacturing systems that are suitable for carrying out such methods are also described.

Pipe design for prevent drip

A nozzle assembly for use in liquid-dispensing system, the nozzle assembly including: a body configured to receive a pipe; and the pipe, an end of the pipe being mounted on the body. The pipe includes multiple lumens correspondingly terminated in multiple orifices such that a liquid is escapable from each lumen through the corresponding orifice and is thereby dispensable from the nozzle assembly. The pipe has a first flow-capacity to supply a first volume of the liquid at a first flow-rate and at a first pressure. Each orifice and corresponding lumen has a second flow-capacity to supply a second volume of the liquid at a second flow-rate and at a second pressure.

Coating apparatus including modular coating areas

A coating apparatus includes a first module and a second module constituting a coating area where a coating target is coated. The first module includes a first frame and a coating robot. The second module includes a second frame. When the first module and the second module are arranged to adjoin each other in a movement path direction in which the coating target relatively moves along the coating area, the first frame of the first module and the second frame of the second module that are arranged to adjoin each other are configured to be coupled together.

Paint system and paint method

A paint system includes a paint unit having a first paint robot and a second paint robot. The first paint robot includes a first robot base and a first robot arm operably mounted on the first robot base. The second paint robot includes a second robot base and a second robot arm operably mounted on the second robot base. When a virtual plane extending in a vertical direction and along a direction of relative movement between an object to be painted and the paint unit is defined as a reference plane, a distance between the first robot base and the reference plane is set to be shorter than a distance between the second robot base and the reference plane. A passage range allowing passage of the second robot arm is provided under the first robot base.

Cavity cleaning and coating system
11618049 · 2023-04-04 ·

A cavity cleaning and coating system for safely and efficiently cleaning and coating the interior of a cavity without requiring entry of any workers. The cavity cleaning and coating system generally includes a mount which is coupled with a movable arm of a vehicle. The mount includes an inner plate, which is coupled to the arm, and an outer plate. A shaft is coupled to the outer plate. The mount is adjustable independently of the arm of the vehicle, including outwardly, inwardly, and rotatably. A spray head is connected to the shaft. The spray head is rotatable and includes a dispenser for dispensing fluids. The vehicle is positioned near a cavity to be treated. The mount is adjusted for optimal positioning of the spray head. The spray head is lowered into the cavity to dispense a cleaning fluid and, after the cleaning fluid has dried, a coating fluid.
