Systems and methods for protecting threads of metal pipes while coating the metal pipes with a protective coating are disclosed herein. Innovative metal couplings are used to protect the threads while a protective coating is applied to the metal pipes. The couplings are reusable and result in multiple efficiency improvements over previous methods and systems. Benefits include elimination of plastic caps and reduced waste, improved flowthrough in the powder coating process, more efficient thermo transfer in the thermal chamber, and an increase in the overall capacity of the powder coating operation.

A device capable of performing surface treatment evenly to an upper portion of a substrate is provided. An upper end of a substrate 54 is sandwiched and held by a clip 52 of a hanger 50. A pipe 56 as a treatment solution releasing section is provided on each side of the substrate 54 that is held by the hanger 50. This pipe 56 is provided with a hole 58 from which the treatment solution is released obliquely upward. The released treatment solution flows down on a surface of the substrate 54, reaches a lower portion thereof, is circulated by a pump 60, and is released from the pipe 56 again.

Apparatus and associated methods relate to dynamically generating commands to manage the flow rate of a powder as a function of time in response to arbitrarily shaped target parts traveling along a conveyor. In an illustrative example, a controller may receive shape information about each target part as the part travels along the conveyor. The controller may dynamically generate commands to a pump to control the flow rate of powder to a reciprocating nozzle. In some embodiments, the controller may generate motion trajectory commands to the reciprocating nozzle to deliver a predetermined amount of powder to the target part as the target part travels along the conveyor.

An alternator, such as for use in an electrostatic spray gun, comprises an alternator housing, a stator, a rotor, a shaft, a first bearing and a sheath. The stator is inserted into the alternator housing and has an inner diameter and an outer diameter. The rotor is disposed within the inner diameter of the stator. The shaft extends from the rotor and is rotatably supported by a first bearing. The sheath surrounds the outer diameter, supports the stator with respect to the alternator housing, and supports the bearing.
