The disclosure relates to an operating method for a coating system, in particular for a painting system, for coating components (2), in particular motor vehicle body components (2), having the following steps: conveying, by means of a conveying device (3), the components (2) to be coated in a conveying direction through a coating booth (1), coating the components (2) in the coating booth (1) with a coating product by means of an application device (17-19) which applies a spray jet of the coating product, a portion of the applied coating product being deposited on the components (2) to be coated while another portion of the applied coating product floats into the interior of the coating booth (1) as an excess coating product mist (21), and reducing the excess coating product mist (21) from the interior of the booth by means in addition to or other than the downwardly directed air flow generated by a filter ceiling. In addition, the disclosure includes a correspondingly designed coating system.

The invention relates to a system and to a method for coating workpieces using a coating device, which is designed to apply a metal coating to a surface of the workpiece. According to the invention, it is provided that a plurality of coating devices, which are designed as identical coating modules, are provided and are arranged in a module group, that an input measuring station is assigned to the module group, by means of which station a surface of the face of the workpiece to be coated can be detected, that a conveying apparatus is provided, by means of which a workpiece can be supplied to one of the coating modules from the input measuring station, and that an output measuring station is assigned to the module group, by means of which station a surface of the coated face of the workpiece can be detected.

The present invention relates to a coating apparatus also called coating tunnel or coating hood for applying a protective coating to hollow glass containers. In particular it relates to a coating apparatus also called coating tunnel or coating hood with air curtains for reducing the loss of the carrier gas comprising a coating compound for applying the protective coatings to glass containers. More particularly the present invention relates to a coating apparatus also called coating tunnel or coating hood with specific air curtains at the entry and the exit of the coating apparatus for reducing the loss of the carrier gas comprising a coating compound for applying the protective coatings to glass containers.

A coating material mist remover of the present disclosure includes: a first duct that discharges air containing coating material mist from an outflow port directed downward; a second duct having an inflow port opened in a horizontal direction; and an incinerable intermediate filter that is detachably connected between the first duct and the second duct and removes the coating material mist from the air. The coating material mist remover also includes: a first connection mechanism that can connect and separate the first duct and the intermediate filter; and a second connection mechanism that can connect and separate the second duct and the intermediate filter.

The present disclosure involves systems for applying finishing treatment to balls. The system includes an arm that transports at least one ball through a plurality of stations. A first station includes a first actuator, which permits introduction of a ball into the arm. A second station includes a buffer, which buffs the surface of the ball and rotates the ball in place relative to the arm, a spray nozzle configured to apply treatment to the ball, and a camera configured to capture images of the ball. A third station includes an inspection camera that captures inspection images of the ball and a rotating plate configured to rotate the ball in place relative to the arm. A fourth station includes a second actuator, which ejects the ball from the arm.

A spray coating machine and process accommodates coating pans of various sizes and simplifies cleaning after particulate material in the pan is coated. A selected pan is supported on a trolley carried by a wheeled cart. After the cart is positioned adjacent the coating machine, the trolley and pan are extended into the machine, and then the pan lifted for support by a rotatable drive shaft and castors. The trolley is then removed from the machine, and the door is closed so that the coating process can commence. When coating is complete, the door is opened, and the trolley extended into the machine under the pan and raised for removal of the castors. Then, the trolley and pan are withdrawn from the machine. The trolley does not need cleaning after spraying, since the trolley is outside the machine during spraying of the coating solution.

A material application and curing system incorporating a spray booth connected alongside a curing chamber along with a pivoting cantilever therebetween adapted to swing materials between them, such that materials can be coated with substances in the spray booth and then quickly, easily, and efficiently transferred to the curing chamber.

A coating cabin for coating vehicle wheel rims has a coating chamber and a conveying device for transporting the workpieces for coating through the coating chamber. An applicator system is furthermore provided for spraying coating material as required in the coating chamber, wherein the applicator system has a first pistol system for spraying coating material as required onto a first region of the workpieces for coating, a second pistol system for spraying coating material as required onto a second region of the workpieces for coating, and a third pistol system for spraying coating material as required onto a third region of the workpieces for coating.

A plurality of workpiece-holding spindles is arranged, each engaging an article being processed, and a plurality of trays, each removably engaging a plurality of said spindles. The trays are moved along a feeding line extending along a feeding path passing near a decoration module. By a transfer assembly, the spindles carrying the articles are transferred from the trays on the feeding path, to the decoration module. A decorative treatment is applied to the articles carried by the spindles, in correspondence with at least one treatment unit (40, 41, 42) operating along the decoration module. In correspondence with a painting module operatively connected with the feeding line, the articles carried by the spindles are painted.

A coating production line system for coating work pieces comprises a coating powder, a coating apparatus, an inspection unit to measure the thickness of the applied coating, a conveyor unit to move the work pieces through the system, and a control unit to use thickness requirements and coating parameters to control the coating apparatus based on said coating parameters with a machine learning instance. A database comprises coating powder characteristics parameter as input vector for the machine learning instance for generating an output vector to control the coating apparatus being a first additional part vector. The control unit determines the coating quality based on a comparison between the thickness data acquired from the inspection unit and the retrieved thickness requirement data as second additional part vector. The first and second additional part vectors are fed back as additional parts to the next input vector for the machine learning instance.
