A method of applying a corrosion-resistant coating to a fastener that includes preheating an area of the fastener to be coated to elevate a temperature of the area and spraying the preheated area of the fastener with a molten or semi-molten metal. In one embodiment, a corrosion-resistant coating applicator includes a support structure, a rotatable slotted fastener conveyer supported by the support structure, a feeder configured to feed fasteners to the rotatable slotted fastener conveyer, a fastener aligner configured to make head portions of the fasteners aligned with each other, a heater configured to heat head portions of the fasteners as the fasteners are being conveyed by the slotted fastener conveyer, and a sprayer configured to apply a corrosion-resistant coating to the heated head portions of the fasteners being conveyed by the slotted fastener conveyer. The present disclosure also provides corrosion-resistant coated fasteners made using the coating methods and/or coating apparatus.

The invention relates to a machine for dispensing perfume-testing supports, comprising support storage means for storing a batch of supports, support-dispensing means for transporting the supports one by one to a delivery point, and support impregnation means for depositing a perfume sample on each dispensed support, before the dispensing thereof. The dispensing means comprise support-marking means for marking each dispensed support at the moment of the dispensing thereof, the marking means and the impregnation means being automatically actuated during the dispensing process.

Provided is a can inner surface-coating apparatus with which inspection of bottomed cylinders can be favorably performed in parallel without being affected by the coating process. In the can inner surface-coating apparatus, inspection cameras to be used for inspection following coating of the inner surface of a bottomed cylinder that will become the body of a can or bottle-shaped can are disposed above spray devices that are used for coating the inner surface of bottomed cylinders. Moreover, the coating area including the spray devices and the inspection area including the inspection cameras are covered with a cover. By supplying air inside the cover from the upper part (air supply port) of the inspection area and discharging the air out of the cover from the lower part (coating mist collection duct) of the coating area, an air flow is formed from the upper part of the inspection area to the lower part of the coating area.

A station for treating motor-vehicle bodies and/or components may include: a booth including at least one entrance for a motor-vehicle body and/or component and at least one exit for the motor-vehicle body and/or component; a system configured to move the motor-vehicle body and/or component between the at least one entrance and the at least one exit; at least one robot configured to treat the motor-vehicle body and/or component in the booth by spraying fluid toward the motor-vehicle body and/or component; and a platform inside the booth configured to support the motor-vehicle body and/or component. The system may be configured to rotate with the platform so as to align with the at least one entrance in order to receive the motor-vehicle body and/or component, and so as to align with the at least one exit in order to release the motor-vehicle body and/or component. The booth may have an octagonal shape.

An apparatus and method are provided for applying a surface treatment such as impregnation agent or water repellency agent to shoes, boots, bags, gloves or the like, where the apparatus includes a closed treatment chamber provided with an openable access to the treatment chamber from outside the treatment chamber, and where the bottom of the treatment chamber a turntable is provided, having a flat surface in an x-y plane, and an axis Z, and where one or more nozzles are arranged for spraying a mist towards the turntable where the nozzles is/are connected to a control unit, and where a plurality of markers are provided on the periphery of the turntable, and that inside the treatment chamber a scanner used, such that the nozzles are activated to issue a mist of treatment according to a preprogrammed sequence and/or count of markers registered by the scanner.

A tooling for wheel spraying reinforcement can uniformly apply a hard coating on the inner rim and the spoke back cavity of a wheel, and can effectively solve the technical problems of uneven spraying and poor roundness. The high-precision spraying of the hard coating of the wheel is realized, and the device has novel structure, advanced technology and high universality.

A paint removal apparatus for cleaning paint from masking devices includes a support base having a plurality of engagement features that are each configured to securely engage at least one paint masking device. A spray nozzle is aimed in a fixed direction toward the support base and configured for spraying a pressurized stream of water at a desired velocity that removes paint from an exterior surface of at least one of the masking devices engaged at the support base. The support base is configured to successively move the masking devices engaged at the engagement features into the pressurized stream of water, such as to provide a generally continuous cleaning operation of masking devices. During movement or rotation of the support base, an exposed portion of the support base may extend from a spray enclosure for removing cleaned plugs from and loading painted plugs onto such an exposed portion.
