  • Patent number: 10173340
    Abstract: A method for coating a surface portion of a plate-like workpiece with a coating material is disclosed, wherein the workpiece is formed at least partially of wood, wood materials, plastic materials and the like, wherein the method includes coating the surface portion of the workpiece with a coating material by use of a coating unit, wherein the surface portion is formed in a coating direction with an angle that changes with respect to the plane of the workpiece at an angle of 0°<?<90° with respect to the plane, and has a curvature in the coating direction, and mechanically adjusting the coating unit during processing such that the position of the coating unit with respect to that part of the surface portion that is currently being processed is constant. Also disclosed is an apparatus having a control device for carrying out this method.
