  • Patent number: 7862850
    Abstract: A panel (9) is conveyed by using a conveyer (3), and the coating surface of the panel (9) is divided into two coating areas (CAa, CAb). Further, the coating areas (CAa, CAb) are coated by reciprocating sprayer units (6, 7) parallel to a conveying direction. At this time, at a boundary between the coating areas (CAa, CAb), the positions of turning paths (Ta0, Tb0) of the reciprocation of a coating machine are shifted sequentially from the front side to the rear side in the conveying direction, so that coating trajectories (Ta, Tb) like a series of steps are formed. Thus, at the boundary between the coating areas (CAa, CAb), the turning paths (Ta0, Tb0) can be spread and located, and the occurrence of color shading can be prevented.

  • Patent number: 7691450
    Abstract: Two sprayer units are arranged along a conveyer. A coating surface of a panel conveyed by the conveyer is divided into four coating areas. Then, the sprayer units reciprocate parallel to the conveying direction and coat the individual coating areas. At this time, at the boundaries of the coating areas, the positions of the turning paths for reciprocation of the sprayer units are shifted from the front side to the rear side in the conveying direction and step-like coating trajectories are formed. As a result, the size of the area coated by each of the sprayer units can be expanded.

  • Publication number: 20070134430
    Abstract: Two sprayer units (8, 9) are arranged along a conveyer (3). A coating surface of a panel (11) conveyed by the conveyer (3) is divided into four coating areas (CAa to CAd). Then, the sprayer units (8, 9) reciprocate parallel to the conveying direction and coat the individual coating areas (CAa to CAd). At this time, at the boundaries of the coating areas (CAa to CAd), the positions of the turning paths (Ta0 to Td0) for reciprocation of the sprayer units (8, 9) are shifted from lo the front side to the rear side in the conveying direction and step-like coating trajectories (Ta to Td) are formed. As a result, the size of the area coated by each of the sprayer units (8, 9) can be expanded.
