Abstract: The invention relates to an electrodipping device comprising, in a known manner, a bath of enamel, and a transport device used, during the continuous method, to dip the workpieces to be coated into the bath of enamel, to move the workpieces through the bath, and remove the same therefrom. Electrodes are arranged in the bath of enamel, along the path of displacement of the workpieces, said electrodes being connected to a voltage source with one pole thereof. The second pole of said voltage source is connected to a contact rail extending along the path of displacement of the workpieces. Each workpiece is provided with a contact device which is in contact with the contact rail. A controllable voltage regulating unit is arranged between each contact device and the corresponding workpiece. A position determination device enables the momentaneous position of each workpiece to be determined.

Abstract: An electro-dipcoating apparatus is described in which, in conventional manner, a work-piece to be lacquered is dipped into a lacquer bath, moved through the latter, and lifted out again in a continuous process. Along the path of motion of the work-piece in the lacquer bath there are arranged electrodes which are connected to a first pole of at least one voltage source. Several contact rails extend parallel to one another without electrical interruption along the entire path of motion of the work-piece leading through the lacquer bath and are each connected to the second pole of varying voltage sources. To each work-piece a contact device is assigned which can be brought into communication with a respective one of the several contact rails and in this way applies the potential of the second pole of the corresponding voltage source to the work-piece. In this way, cuts in the contact rails are avoided that would result in wear of the contact devices and in increased control effort.

Abstract: The invention relates to an electrodipping device comprising, in a known manner, a bath of enamel, and a transport device used, during the continuous method, to dip the workpieces (1a, 1b, 1c) to be coated into the bath of enamel, to move the workpieces through the bath, and remove the same therefrom. Electrodes are arranged in the bath of enamel, along the path of displacement of the workpieces (1a, 1b, 1c), said electrodes being connected to a voltage source (20) with one pole thereof. The second pole of said voltage source (20) is connected to a contact rail (2) extending along the path of displacement of the workpieces (1a, 1b, 1c). Each workpiece (1a, 1b, 1c) is provided with a contact device (3a, 3b, 3c) which is in contact with the contact rail (2). A controllable voltage regulating unit (4a, 4b, 4c) is arranged between each contact device (3a, 3b, 3c) and the corresponding workpiece (1a, 1b, 1c).
