A transfer and coating apparatus transfers a component from a conveyor to a coating station for application of a coating. The transfer apparatus includes a mast that can move about orthogonal axes in a horizontal plane and a mast having a carriage that can move vertically. The carriage includes a hook that swings about a horizontal axis relative to the mast for movement of the component in the horizontal direction. A sway bar extends between the hook and component to inhibit movement about a horizontal axis. The component is delivered to an upper compartment of a coating apparatus where it can be lowered in to a lower compartment containing coating material. Excess coating material is removed by an array of nozzles in the upper compartment as the component is raised from the coating material.

The inventive concept provides a substrate treating apparatus. The substrate treating apparatus includes a liquid treating chamber; a support configured to support a substrate within the liquid treating chamber; a first treating liquid supply unit configured to supply a first treating liquid to the liquid treating chamber to treat the substrate with the first treating liquid; and a second treating liquid supply unit configured to supply a second treating liquid to the liquid treating chamber to treat the substrate with the second treating liquid, and wherein the second treating liquid supply unit includes a cooler for cooling the second treating liquid.
