A painting stand for vehicle bumpers includes a base frame supported by a plurality of casters together with a vertically supported post. A post extension is telescopically supported within the vertical post and is adjustable in its elevation. The upper end of the post extension is coupled to a support, to which is coupled a pivoting support rack. The support rack is comprised of upper and lower transverse/horizontal member(s). These transverse members are rigid in the middle and semi-rigid at both ends and serve as a mounting surface to which bumpers in need of paint or repair are affixed. The support rack's unique configuration allows the operator to easily affix and detach a wide variety of bumper shapes and sizes to the stand quickly and efficiently. Said support rack pivots. The pivoting function of the support rack is actuated and controlled by a foot pedal connected to the support rack by a cable.

A workpiece carrier includes a base frame, a fixture base, a plurality of locators, and a drive source. The fixture base is secured to the base frame. Each of the plurality of locators is secured at a first end to the fixture base and at a second end to a workpiece. The drive source is in communication with the fixture base for rotationally driving the fixture base with respect to the base frame.

Disclosed are stent holding devices having a support mandrel and one or more stent retaining fixtures disposed on the mandrel. The retaining fixture may include a character identifier to facilitate tracking a stent mounted on the holding device. The retaining fixture may include a conical protrusion and a conical recess to allow any number of retaining fixtures to engage each other and be stacked on the mandrel. The retaining fixture may include a tubular member having a spiral cut that enables the diameter of the tubular member to be adjusted to allow for a frictional fit on the mandrel. The retaining fixture may have a Z-shaped or T-shaped structure configured to retain a stent. The stent retaining fixture may also have a filament for retaining a stent.

An automated apparatus and method for coating medical devices such as an intravascular stent, are disclosed in the method, a 2-D image of a stent is processed to determine (1) paths along the stent skeletal elements by which a stent secured to a rotating support element can be traversed by a dispenser head whose relative motion with respect to the support element is along the support-element axis, such that some or all of the stent skeletal elements will be traversed (2) the relative speeds of the dispenser head and support element as the dispenser head travels along the paths, and (3), and positions of the dispenser head with respect to a centerline of the stent elements as the dispenser head travels along such paths The rotational speed of the support and relative linear speed of the dispenser are controlled to achieve the desired coating thickness and coating coverage on the upper surfaces, and optionally, the side surfaces, of the stent elements.

A device for printing on multi-dimensional objects includes an object carrier for holding and moving the object to be printed on, a tool carrier for receiving stationary processing tools, and a frame to which the tool carrier is fixed. The object carrier has three guide tracks which are disposed perpendicular to one another and each of which is oriented along a respective axis of movement. Carriages are movable on the guide tracks for executing a translatory movement of the object relative to the stationary processing tools. The device may have a modular construction, allowing the device to be adapted to a variety of objects to be printed on.

A substrate treatment apparatus according to the embodiment includes: a nozzle which ejects a treatment liquid onto a treatment target surface of a substrate; a trajectory deflector including a trajectory deflecting surface, which is an annular inclined surface that deflects a traveling direction of the treatment liquid ejected from the nozzle and makes the treatment liquid incident on the treatment target surface, the trajectory deflecting surface having an inclination angle varying in a direction of annular extension of the trajectory deflecting surface; and a position changer which moves an incident position of the treatment liquid on the trajectory deflecting surface in the direction of annular extension of the trajectory deflecting surface.

The present invention provides a wheel spraying device, comprising a frame, an electric motor, a hollow shaft, a ring flange, and cylinders. During use of the device, the need of jacking up and rotating a wheel in wheel spraying can be met, and the difficulty of removing the protection plugs of bolt hole due to thickening and clogging after completion of spraying can be completely avoided. Meanwhile, the device has the characteristics of simple structure, convenience for use, low manufacturing cost, and safe and stable performance.

A coating device for coating an inside of a hollow body with an atomized fluid has at least one atomizing tube enclosing an atomizing channel. A pressurized propellant gas for atomizing an unatomized fluid can be introduced into the atomizing tube. The atomizing tube has at least one outlet opening and further has at least one hollow needle having a discharge opening for the unatomized fluid. The at least one hollow needle interacts with the atomizing channel and is arranged essentially coaxially thereto. The atomizing tube and the hollow needle form a Venturi arrangement.

A spraying system includes a spraying device, a toasting device, a conveyor line, and a turning device. The spraying device is configured to spray a workpiece. The toasting device is configured to toast the workpiece. The conveyor line passes through the spraying device and the toasting device and is configured to convey the workpiece. The turning device is coupled to the conveyor line and includes a first fixing frame across the conveyor line, a turning mechanism, and a blocking member. The turning mechanism includes a bearing frame detachably coupled to the conveyor line, a rotation shaft rotatably coupled to the bearing frame; a rotatable member coupled to the rotation shaft; and a positioning member coupled to the rotation shaft and configured to couple the workpiece. The blocking member is coupled to the fixing frame and configured to block the rotatable member to rotate the rotation shaft, the positioning member.
