AUTOMATIC ADJUSTING HYDRO-MECHANICAL FLUID NOZZLE APPARATUS

Apparatus are provided for automatic repositioning of fluid nozzles when operating on a workpiece with a tool. The apparatus includes a nozzle assembly configured to convey a fluid to a target zone defined on the workpiece and/or on the tool. The target zone has a location that varies over time. A spring applies a spring force to bias the nozzle assembly toward the target zone, and moves the nozzle assembly as the location of the target zone varies. The nozzle assembly moves to a position relative to the target zone by a combination of action of the spring force and of any hydrodynamic force of the fluid, when moving through the nozzle assembly.

A spray machine autonomously traverses a roof while selectively spraying and rolling adhesive across the roof. To navigate the roof, the spray machine is most preferably fitted with GPS and other sensors to detect roof features and already coated adhesive. In one embodiment the spray machine has a spray and roll apparatus supported on an undercarriage and propelled by a drive train. Each of the spray nozzles and rollers are preferably supported upon respective boom arms, and reciprocate along the longitudinal axis of the boom arm. Each of the spray and roller boom arms have a longitudinal axis that extends transverse to the spray machine ordinary forward direction of travel. In another embodiment, combination spray and roller boom arms are hinged to the undercarriage, and so may be lifted from horizontal to vertical to avoid obstacles.
