The pedestal is configured to support a workpiece in a predetermined orientation. The base plate is disposed in a position away from the workpiece. The motor is arranged to cause the base plate to rotate about a rotational axis. The spray gun is mounted on the base plate so that a spray direction is directed toward the rotational axis. The high-pressure pipe guides a working gas to the spray gun. The rotating joint is provided to a base end of the high-pressure pipe. The high-pressure pipe is arranged along the rotational axis.

AUTONOMOUS PAINTING SYSTEMS AND RELATED METHODS

An automated mobile paint robot, according to particular embodiments, comprises: (1) a wheeled base; (2) at least one paint sprayer; (3) at least one pump; (4) a vision system; (5) a GPS navigation system; and (5) a computer controller configured to: (A) generate a room painting plan using one or more inputs from the GPS navigation system, vision system, etc.; (B) control movement of the automated mobile paint robot across a support surface: (C) use the vision system to position the wheeled base in a suitable position from which to paint a desired area using the at least one paint sprayer; and (D) use the at least one pump to activate the at least one paint sprayer to paint a swath (e.g., swatch) of paint from the suitable position.

Mobile platform and oscillating mechanism for coating flat surfaces

The present invention refers to a working assembly for a painting system, containing a mobile platform and a crank and slider-type oscillating mechanism, which reproduces movements transmitted to a shaft and that guides a paint gun, mimicking the process performed by painters. Thus, the mobile platform and the oscillating mechanism were designed to move unidirectionally over the surface, being able to move in two orthogonal directions and also to rotate in order to keep the platform level.

APPARATUS FOR MANUFACTURING SKIN CARE PACK

One aspect of the present disclosure relates to an apparatus for manufacturing a skin care pack. According to an aspect of the present invention, the apparatus for manufacturing a skin care pack may be provided, the apparatus containing: a housing for providing a working space for forming a skin care pack; a film moving module provided to be movable in one direction within the working space, and having a base on which a film is mounted; a molding machine provided to be movable within the working space in two directions perpendicular to the one direction, and including at least one nozzle module for discharging hydrogel to the base; and a controller for controlling movement of the film moving module and the nozzle module, and controlling discharge of the hydrogel from the molding machine.

A surface adhering mobile coating apparatus includes a surface adhering and traveling device, a spray nozzle, and a spray nozzle X-axis drive device, and a spray nozzle Y-axis drive device. An operation procedure of the coating includes, regarding the timing at which the spray command of the coating material is triggered to the spray nozzle when the spray nozzle is moved from the start point to the end point in the forward or return direction on the X-axis, the timing is the trigger timing at which the spray nozzle leaves the start point in the forward or return direction on the X-axis, therefore, the timing at which the spray is actually started is slightly delayed from the time when the spray nozzle leaves the start point; regarding the timing at which the spray stop command of the coating material is triggered to the spray nozzle when the spray nozzle is moved from the start point to the end point in the forward or return direction on the X-axis, the timing is the trigger timing at which the spray nozzle reaches the part just before the end point in the forward or return direction on the X-axis, therefore, the timing at which the spray is actually stopped is slightly delayed from the time when the spray nozzle reaches the part just before the end point.

LIQUID DISCHARGE APPARATUS, LIQUID DISCHARGE METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM
20230286286 · 2023-09-14 · ·

A liquid discharge apparatus includes a liquid discharge head and circuitry. The liquid discharge head has a nozzle hole from which a liquid is discharged and includes a valve to open and close the nozzle hole and a valve driver to drive the valve. The circuitry causes the valve driver to drive the valve to open the nozzle hole for a valve opening time to discharge the liquid onto an object, and changes the valve opening time based on a head pressure applied to the liquid in the liquid discharge head.

Cleaning device

A cleaning device includes: a treatment container; a workpiece carrier arranged in the treatment container and configured to hold at least one workpiece; at least one nozzle configured to discharge a cleaning jet directed onto the workpiece carrier and mounted such that the at least one nozzle is moveable on a circulation track about the workpiece carrier and is pivotable about a pivoting axis extending parallel to an axis of rotation of the workpiece carrier; a pivoting device configured to pivot the at least one nozzle; and a controller configured to control a circulating movement of the at least one nozzle on the circulation track and a pivoting movement of the at least one nozzle, such that a specified point on a surface of the workpiece is impacted repeatedly by the cleaning jet at a respectively different angle, within a specified timeframe.

Makeup Machine with Automatically-Controlled Spray Head Movements
20230148425 · 2023-05-11 ·

A makeup machine includes a spray head, a main body, an arched track, and vertical support. The spray head has a receptacle to receive a spray cartridge containing a skin spray. The main body houses a controller circuit that controls a position of the spray head with respect to a target of the skin spray. The arched track has a curved shape on a horizontal plane, and the vertical support is attached to the arched track. The controller circuit causes the spray head to slide along the arched track, and adjusts a height of the vertical support to cause the arched track and the spray head to move up and down. The makeup machine also includes a linear track controlled by the controller circuit to adjust a horizontal distance between the spray head and the target.
