System for conveying and dispensing material may include a heated supply of the material, one or more heated hoses, a heated dispenser, and a pump having a heating device internal the pump. A pump for conveying liquid or liquefied material, for example chocolate, may include one or more heating devices disposed within the pump. A filter may also be provided with an optional internal heating device.

Systems apply a material (e.g., adhesive) to an article (e.g., a component in an article of footwear) with a multiple-nozzle tool. A first nozzle of the multiple-nozzle tool is effective to provide an edge application of the material that is consistent in application of the material. A second nozzle of the multiple-nozzle tool is effective to provide a greater material coverage application than the first nozzle. The second nozzle may be implemented to apply the material at an interior area from the edge at which the first nozzle applies the material, in an exemplary aspect.

A coating system includes a coating robot and an operation robot. The coating robot has a height and is mounted in a coating booth to coat a workpiece while the workpiece is conveyed in the coating booth in a conveyance direction substantially perpendicular to a height direction. The workpiece including a body and a movable part movable with respect to the body. The operation robot is disposed in the coating booth below the coating robot in the height direction. The operation robot is movable in the coating booth in the conveyance direction and is configured to move the movable part of the workpiece.

A method and system for powder coating non electrically conductive elements, preferably brake pads. A pre-treatment station is upstream of an electrostatic powder coating deposition station and a baking station for melting and polymerizing the powder coating in order to form a coating layer on a surface to be coated. The pre-treatment station causes the elements to be coated to conduct electrically by uniformly wetting said elements by means of creating poorly mineralized water covalent bonds on at least one surface to be coated, in an amount aimed at producing a measurable weight increase in the non electrically conductive elements, which then causes them to conduct electrically. The water adsorbed and/or deposited is subsequently eliminated within the baking station.

The disclosure concerns a device for dispensing an atomized spray of a cosmetic composition. The device is capable of individual or commercial use, and provides yaw and pitch actuation of an operational head, along with the atomized spray to deliver the cosmetic composition to the body of a user. Electronics are configured to acquire data from a disposable spray bottle assembly, and approximate remaining volume or spray time according to the data. A linear laser provides guidance to the user for standing in order to receive optimal spray coverage.

An application system includes an application unit including a nozzle configured to discharge a seal agent to a work, and a moving device configured to move the application unit. The moving device includes a movable unit, an elevating unit, and a posture changing unit configured to be raised and lowered by the elevating unit and support the application unit. The nozzle includes a proximal end and a distal end portion configured to discharge the seal agent. The posture changing unit includes a pivot mechanism configured to make the application unit pivot about a vertical axis, and a pivot mechanism configured to make the application unit pivot about a horizontal axis. The vertical axis and the nozzle are located on the same axis, and the vertical axis and the horizontal axis cross on a center axis of the nozzle.

A coating system including a coating robot and a movable opener robot. The coating robot has a fixed base fixedly mounted to a coating booth, and a first arm rotatably coupled to the fixed base about a first axis substantially parallel to a conveyance direction of a workpiece that includes a body and a first movable member. The body has a body inner surface and the first movable member has a first movable member inner surface. The movable opener robot has a movable base mounted such that the movable opener robot is movable in the coating booth in the conveyance direction. The movable base is mounted below the fixed base. The movable opener robot can open the first movable member of the workpiece. The coating robot can coat the body inner surface and the first movable member inner surface when the first movable member has been opened.

The disclosure concerns a spray bottle assembly for use with an atomized-spray dispensing device. The spray bottle assembly generally includes a bottle containing an amount of cosmetic composition, a release mechanism having a port associated therewith, an insert with an insert lumen configured to engage the port for communicating the cosmetic composition therethrough, a nozzle for configuring a stream of the cosmetic composition expelled from the spray bottle assembly, a mixing chamber for mixing compressed air with the stream of the cosmetic composition, and a spray aperture for communicating atomized spray. The spray bottle assembly is designed for use with equipment having corresponding release elements for engaging the insert and release mechanism of the bottle.

An apparatus for applying a sealing and/or a coating substance to a component, in particular a vehicle body component. The apparatus includes kinematics, a spray device, and a sensor. The apparatus is configured to: a) acquire computer-aided design (CAD)-based information on the component; and in real time: b) acquire actual information on the component by the first sensor; c) create a movement profile for the kinematics and an application profile for the spray device on a basis of the CAD-based information and the actual information; and d) execute the movement profile and the application profile on the component.

An apparatus for applying a first fluid to an advancing substrate comprising a nozzle body made, at least in part, using an additive manufacturing method. The nozzle body comprises a fluid orifice for receiving the first fluid; a conduit in fluid communication with the fluid orifice for receiving the first fluid received by the fluid orifice; a passageway in fluid communication with the conduit for receiving the first fluid received by the conduit; and a slot in fluid communication with the passageway for applying the first fluid to the advancing substrate. A method for making an apparatus comprising a nozzle body is also provided, comprising: sequentially forming, from at least one material using an additive manufacturing method, a plurality of layers in a configured pattern corresponding to a shape of at least one of an upper nozzle assembly member or of a lower nozzle assembly member of the nozzle body.
