According to one embodiment, a coating apparatus includes a coating bar configured to face a member to be coated, and a plurality of nozzles configured to supply a liquid toward the coating bar. A number of the nozzles is 3 or more. An arithmetic mean roughness Ra of at least a part of a surface of the coating bar is not less than 0.5 μm and not more than 10 μm.

The disclosure relates to a nozzle device for emitting an emission medium onto a component, preferably for emitting the emission medium onto two side faces and preferably an end face of a fold, an edge or a transition joint of the component. The nozzle device comprises an opening configuration for emitting the emission medium and is distinguished particularly in that the opening configuration comprises at least two openings for emitting at least two jets of the emission medium and the at least two openings are oriented inwardly so that the at least two jets approach one another toward the emission side.

The present invention relates to a double slit coating die, and an electrode active material coating apparatus comprising same, the double slit coating die comprising first to fourth blocks which are positioned sequentially adjacent to each other, and having a structure in which the positions of the first and second blocks can move in a direction tilted at an angle θ with respect to the interface between the second and third blocks. The present invention has the effects of preventing slip surfaces between blocks constituting the die from spreading apart, and reducing offset in a coating process.

The disclosure concerns a coating device and a corresponding coating process for coating components, in particular motor vehicle body components, with a coating agent (e.g. paint), with a coating robot with a first printhead which is mounted on the coating robot. The disclosure provides that the first printhead is exchangeably mounted on the coating robot and can be exchanged for a second printhead during a color change. Another variant of the disclosure, on the other hand, provides for a second printhead to be mounted on the coating robot in addition to the first printhead, the two printheads each applying a specific coating agent in order to enable a color change without changing the printhead.

System and process that continuously circulates hotmelt adhesive at a circulating pressure rate to apply hotmelt adhesive to a moving substrate on a substrate delivery conveyor. The system includes an adhesive delivery line connected to an elongated manifold, the manifold including: (i) a main internal fluid pathway in fluid communication with the adhesive delivery line and an adhesive return line, and (ii) an elongated heater providing a substantially constant internal temperature to the elongated manifold. An adhesive pump transporting hotmelt adhesive from the adhesive reservoir to the adhesive delivery line under pressure, the adhesive reservoir including a filter that filters hotmelt adhesive. A plurality of hotmelt spray heads in fluid communication with the main internal fluid pathway to dispense hotmelt adhesive onto the moving substrate. The adhesive return line in fluid communication with the adhesive pump and/or the adhesive reservoir to transport hotmelt adhesive from the elongated manifold.

The disclosure relates to a nozzle device for emitting at least one emission medium onto a component, preferably onto a fold, an edge or a transition joint of the component. The nozzle device comprises at least two nozzle plates arranged adjoining one another, wherein a first nozzle plate comprises at least one opening for emitting at least one emission jet and a second nozzle plate comprises at least two openings for emitting at least two emission jets.

A nozzle assembly includes a first body having an upper and an inner surface; a first channel in the first body to receive a material; a second body having an upper and an inner surface; a second channel in the second body, in liquid communication with the first channel, and configured to receive the material from the first channel; a material outlet defined by the first and second bodies configured to discharge the material; a material inlet on the upper surface of the first body, in liquid communication with the first channel, and configured to receive the material into the nozzle assembly; and an upper lip extending from the first body toward the second body and partly defined by the upper surface of the first body. The upper lip includes a lip surface opposite the upper surface of the first body. The upper surface of the second body is configured to contact the lip surface of the upper lip.

A pizza saucer having a housing in which components may be mounted. The housing includes a base having an upwardly facing deck, a neck that extends from the base to a head, and a manifold mounted to the head facing the deck. The housing contains at least one pump to convey pizza sauce from a source to the manifold, and a computer that controls a rotary prime mover in the base with a driveshaft extending through the deck to a tray drivingly linked to the driveshaft. An input, such as a touchscreen, is mounted to the head and faces the user during operation. With the touchscreen, the user may input the crust size. The computer actuates the pumps and the rotary prime mover, simultaneously causing the crust to rotate 360-370 degrees and the manifold to dispense sauce onto the crust until the crust is coated.

An adhesive coating device for coating an inner wall surface of a workpiece provided with holes with an adhesive. A control device automatically executes an operation of applying the adhesive, the operation including positioning of the workpiece, relative positioning of a nozzle that applies the adhesive in a non-contact manner with respect to the workpiece, and moving of the nozzle, in which the adhesive is ejected and applied in an oblique direction from the nozzle to the inner wall surface of the hole, and the angle of the oblique direction is such an angle that the adhesive linearly ejected from the nozzle located outside the hole can be applied to the inner wall surface of the hole with a desired depth without interfering with an opening part of the hole.
