An electrostatic atomizing coating apparatus and method incorporate a rotary head having a base portion, an open end and a plurality of grooves formed radially on an inner peripheral surface of the open end, an inside diameter of the rotary head increasing from the base portion toward the open end, and a motor configured to rotate the rotary head to discharge a thread-shaped paint. A voltage is applied to the rotary head so as to form an electrostatic field between the open end of the rotary head and an earthed coating target and to electrostatically atomize the thread-shaped paint discharged from the open end. Voltage output from the generator is controlled so as to adjust an intensity of the electrostatic field and to control a particle diameter of the electrostatically atomized thread-shaped paint.

The present disclosure relates to a method of applying a seal material on a glass sheet surface of one or more tempered glass sheets for a vacuum insulated glass unit. The method comprises the steps of: obtaining by means of a sensor system (4) surface variation data of at least one tempered glass sheet (3, 30) for said a vacuum insulated glass (VIG) unit, and applying seal material (2) for an edge seal at a surface (3a, 30a) of said one or more tempered glass sheet (3, 30) by means of one or more nozzles (5) having a nozzle opening (6) for dispensing said seal material. The method further comprises by means of a control system (7) controlling one or more adjustment systems (9, 10, 11) influencing on the applying of said seal material by said one or more nozzles (5) based on said obtained surface variation data. The disclosure additionally relates to a method of manufacturing a vacuum insulated glass (VIG) unit, and a system for applying edge sealing material (2) for an edge sealing of a vacuum insulated glass unit (1, 100) and use of a system for applying edge sealing material (2) for an edge sealing of a vacuum insulated glass unit (1, 100).

The present invention relates to electrode slurry coating apparatus and method, the present invention ultimately allowing the process efficiency to be increased and rate of errors to be reduced when double-layer structured active material layers are formed by temporally adjusting the height of first and second discharge outlets through which active material is discharged.

An automated mobile sprayer (AMS) includes a mobile base, an applicator arm supported by the mobile base, and a nozzle extending from the applicator arm. The nozzle receives fluid from a fluid supply and generates an atomized fluid spray for application to a surface. The applicator arm moves vertically relative to the mobile base and the surface to cause the nozzle to generate a vertical fluid stripe. The mobile base moves laterally relative to the surface to cause the nozzle to generate a horizontal fluid stripe.

Problem: To solve a problem of deterioration in application quality that occurs in a case where a width of a recessed application area changes between a start point and an end point of an application route. Solution: Provided is a liquid application method for filling, with liquid material, an application area made up of gaps between an inner wall surface of a recess 201 of a workpiece 111 and outer peripheries of components 202, 203 disposed in the recess 201, the application method including: a position acquisition step of acquiring position coordinates of the components 202, 203 based on captured images including feature portions of the components 202, 203; an application route setting step of setting, based on the position coordinates, an application area and an application route for a discharge device 102 to perform application; an application parameter setting step of segmenting the application route of the discharge device 102 into application route segments based on the position coordinates and setting an application amount for each application route segment; and an application step of applying the liquid material to the application area while moving the discharge device 102 along the application route. Also provided is a liquid application apparatus that executes the liquid application method.
