Abstract: A dosing device for a program controlled spray painting apparatus adapted for dosing electrically conductive fluid materials to a spray gun/applicator. The spray gun may be charged at a high voltage for electrostatically charged atomizing of electrically conductive fluid materials. A coating system includes the dosing device, which is moved by an actuator between a connecting member for a paint filling line or a cleaning fluid supply line, and a spray gun. A method and a computer program for carrying out the method.

Abstract: A door opener arrangement for a robot coating device, used for detecting a position of a part (6) of a door (7) so that the door can be opened and/or closed for interior painting. The door opener is arranged with at least one non-contact sensor member (1), preferably for detecting changes in a field strength of a magnetic or electromagnetic field in a Z and vertical direction, and may be arranged with a plurality of sensors to detect a collision etc. A method, system and computer program are also described.

Abstract: A method for programming an industrial robot having a tool. The method includes obtaining configuration data for the tool and for the robot path and information about the position and orientation of the object in relation to the robot, obtaining a sequence of waypoints, which defines the process in relation to the object, obtaining at least one distance for adjusting the position of a waypoint, deciding whether an obtained waypoint should be modified or not, based on the obtained information about the waypoints, generating a modified sequence of waypoints by modifying the waypoints in the obtained sequence of waypoints, based on the decision, the obtained distance and the obtained information about the waypoints and generating the actual robot path based on the modified sequence of waypoints and the obtained configuration data.

Abstract: A method for programming an industrial robot having a tool, to perform a process on an object while following a robot path defined by a number of waypoints.

Abstract: When determining coordinates of a point of an object (2) in a reference system of coordinates and the orientation of the object in the space in a measuring position assumed by the object, the object is moved from a start position having known coordinates and a known orientation to a measuring position while detecting this movement. Said coordinates and the orientation of the object in the measuring position are calculated from information from this detection and about the start position. Furthermore, the acceleration and retardation of the object are measured during the movement, and the coordinates and the orientation of the object in the measuring position are calculated from information from this measurement.

Abstract: A plant is adapted to feed paint to robots for automatic spray application of paint on objects provided with a container (5) made loosenable and removable from the robot for exchange for another such container when there is a desire to have more paint in the container and/or change paint. The plant has a station (8) with containers filled with paint, a transport device (15-18) with means (16) for transporting a container containing paint from said station when said desire arises to the robot and deliver this thereto as well as means adapted to receive a container to be exchanged from the robot and transport it away for taking care thereof.

Abstract: A device for feeding a controlled volume flow of liquid to a spray nozzle for automatic spray application. A conduit defines a flow path from a liquid source to the spray nozzle. A displacement pump type member is arranged in the conduit. A driver drives the displacement pump type member with the movable parts thereof with a speed determined by the actual volume flow through the conduit. Elements arranged in the conduit upstream of the displacement pump type member supply the flow of liquid through the conduit to the displacement pump type member and properly feed the liquid in the conduit. A valve is located in the conduit. A regulator regulates the volume flow through the conduit by regulating the throttling degree of the valve means. A first measurer measures the pressure of the flow in the conduit downstream of the displacement pump type member. A second measurer measures the pressure of the flow in the conduit upstream of the displacement pump type member.
