A can coating machine control system includes a coating control signal that functions as a go/no-go signal based on a plurality of monitored conditions such as can in position, vacuum pressure, gun in position, guard in position and speed condition. Local pressure regulation of the coating material in the spray gun is provided along with optional control of the material temperature. Local pressure regulation allows for optional spray weight control based on a wrap number derived from speed and gun spray durations. A CAN to CAN network buffer is provided as well for primary network isolation. A gun control circuit may be used to select specific gun drive signals and to adjust gun drive signals based on real-time feedback of the actual spray duration.

Disclosed are a method and an apparatus for applying a liquid onto a substrate. The method for treating a substrate, the method includes: a liquid supplying step of supplying a treatment liquid for forming a liquid film on the substrate while rotating the substrate; and a liquid diffusing step of diffusing the treatment liquid discharged to the substrate by rotating the substrate, after the liquid supplying step. The liquid diffusing step includes: a primary diffusion step of rotating the substrate at a first diffusion speed; and a secondary diffusion step of rotating the substrate at a second diffusion speed, after the primary diffusion step. The second diffusion speed is higher than the first diffusion speed. Accordingly, the treatment liquid can be applied to the substrate again by performing the secondary diffusion step, making it possible to adjust the thickness of a photosensitive film.

The present invention discloses a wheel mold spraying device, which is composed of a frame, a servo motor, a servo electric cylinder, a hollow shaft, a nozzle and the like. Four side molds of a wheel are respectively placed on four slide plates; hand wheels are rotated to adjust the slide plates to proper positions through lead screws and guide rails; the servo motor drives the rotation of the hollow shaft and the nozzle through belt wheels and a synchronous belt, and the nozzle is automatically opened; and through guide posts, the servo electric cylinder lifts the nozzle to the top end while rotating, in which case the process of spraying for the four side molds can be completed.

A system and method for aligning spray guns of a spray system includes a pair of adjustment mechanisms. A laser alignment system employs a target device.

A package or container includes a side wall, the side wall having an inner surface and an outer surface. At least one of the inner surface or the outer surface of the side wall may be at least partially coated by a layer of a insulating material. The material may be adapted to be expanded to provide thermal insulation.

A system for spraying a coating such as lacquer on the internal surface of a can body (2) comprising vacuum chuck gears (42) for each vacuum chuck (16). The vacuum chucks hold the can body as it rotates about a main process turret (10) and to a spray station (32, 34). A ring gear rotates independently of main turret rotation and further gearing connects the ring gear to a vacuum chuck drive motor (11). The spray system provides tight process control and allows flexibility of process revolutions or use of higher machine production speed.

The present invention discloses an assembly for spray coating a plasticized skin onto a three dimensional template surface configured within a one piece template body. A transfer mechanism includes at least one gripping arm terminating in a body exhibiting a template surface. A first spray station applies a plastic skin coating to the template surface, with a second trimming operation to which the body is communicated in order to remove the plastic skin coating from the body and to finish the skin. The gripping arms are typically incorporated into a transfer mechanism further includes first and second pairs of telescoping arms extending in opposite directions from a rotatable turret, the body further including first and second bodies secured to extending ends of the pairs of arms.

The assembly (1) for coating workpieces (32) comprises a treatment chamber (1) with a manipulator (24) arranged therein. The manipulator (24) carries a coating device (25) for coating the workpieces (32). The treatment chamber (1) configured as a tank (1) is topped by an exhaust port (3) for exhausting hot gases and/or coating particles. In the interior of the treatment chamber (1) an exhaust hood (33) for channelizing the gases to be exhausted in the direction of the exhaust port (3) is arranged. The exhaust hood (33) together with the pallet (29) are arranged on a shiftable platform (16). The platform (16) together with the exhaust hood (33) and the pallet (29) can be retracted in and extended from the treatment chamber (1). The exhaust hood (33) is arranged on the platform (16) such that when the platform (16) is positioned retracted the exhaust hood is connected to the exhaust port (3).

A fixture system to be used in a vacuum chamber (16) of a vacuum treatment system, comprising, a spindle (1), a gear wheel, in this text referred to as sun wheel (2), a cylindrical object exhibiting properties that allow the gear wheel to mesh into it, in order to rotate said cylindrical object, in this text referred to as reel (3), a holding plate (4), wherein the sun wheel (2) and the reel (3) are manufactured in order to allow the sun wheel (2) to mesh into the reel (3), thereby rotating it.
