An apparatus for manufacturing or painting an article includes a conveyor for transporting articles along a conveyance axis and at least one rail spaced from the conveyance axis. At least a pair of robots is movably mounted on the rail for displacement along the rail. In one aspect, a pair of rails is spaced on opposite sides of the conveyance axis, with at least a pair of robots displacably mounted on each of the pair of rails.

The present invention provides a latent fingerprint detection method that is easy to handle and is capable of clearly detecting a latent fingerprint and a heating evaporation device for detecting a latent fingerprint and a latent fingerprint detection apparatus which are capable of detecting a clear latent fingerprint by a one-time operation by heating a chemical agent at high temperatures in a short time, as well as a composition for detecting a latent fingerprint. This latent fingerprint detection method includes a heating step of heating a chemical agent to be gasified by heating so as to attach to a latent fingerprint on a specimen, and an exposure step of exposing the specimen having the latent fingerprint attached thereto to the atmosphere of the gasified chemical agent. The chemical agent is a mixture of a 2-cyanoacrylic acid ester polymer and a dye.

The invention relates to a powder spray coating booth (1) in which objects can be coated with powder with the aid of at least one spray device (6), wherein the powder spray coating booth (1) has an exhaust channel arrangement for exhausting air and excess powder from the booth interior of the powder spray coating booth (1), and wherein the exhaust channel arrangement has an exhaust channel (9) which is arranged in the booth substructure and which is fluidically connected to the booth interior via at least one exhaust opening (8). In order to achieve that a change of powder can also be quickly carried out, the invention provides that the exhaust channel (9) is additionally fluidically connected or can be additionally fluidically connected to at least two channel sections (31, 32) which are led out of the booth substructure, via a manifold (30) arranged in the booth substructure.

A filter for industrial coating filtration systems. The filter has a housing made up of a peripheral wall extending around the periphery. The housing is preferably made of a suitably rigid material. A preferably rigid support backing is mounted within the housing. The support backing has a planar configuration with openings formed through it so that gas can flow through without substantial resistance. The preferably planar sheet of which the support backing is made is pleated. The pleated support backing defines a series of panels, each of which is angled to a next adjacent panel. Filtration media is mounted to the support backing, end caps are attached to the ends of the support backing to maintain the pleated configuration, and the assembly is inserted into the housing, which can have end flaps to seal using tape or adhesive.

The invention relates to a device for removing wet paint overspray from an outgoing air flow (120) containing over-spray particles. The device separates wet paint over-spray from an over-spray particle contained in an exhaust air stream (120). The overspray particles in the exhaust air stream (120) are formed during the painting at an application area (108) of a painting installation (100). The device (126) comprises of at least one separation apparatus for separating the over-spray from the exhaust air stream (120). The separation apparatus includes a regeneratable surface filter (146) and the flow path of the exhaust air stream (120) from the application area (108) to a separating device (145) having at least one narrowed area (146). The central direction of flow of the exhaust air stream (120) remains essentially preserved in passing by the narrowed area (140).

In order to provide a surface treatment device for treating a surface of a workpiece which is operable simply and safely, it is proposed that the surface treatment device include the following: a work region in which the surface of the workpiece is treatable; a flow guiding device by means of which a gas stream is guidable through the work region; a solvent separating device for separating off solvent from the gas stream that is guided through the work region, wherein the solvent separating device is configured to be put selectively in a separating condition or in a rest condition, wherein, in the separating condition, the solvent separating device separates off solvent from the gas stream.

A spray booth (100) for providing a controlled environment for spraying of particulate material is disclosed. The spray booth (100) is mounted on a support rail, and is movable along the support rail.

A system for painting objects having a plurality of ring lines extending along a painting booth, each ring line conducting an operating medium required for operating an application device provided in the painting booth. The ring lines are divided into at least two regions. A connection device connects at least some of the ring lines to the application device and has a terminal module. The terminal module includes at least as many ring line sections as there are ring lines. The ring line sections have terminals at the ends to connect to the ring line regions. A branch line branches off from each of the ring line sections, the branch line leading to a terminal device. The terminal device has an inner flow path via which at least some of the branch lines can be connected to an outlet terminal. At least one tube or a line connects the outlet terminal to the application device.
