Abstract: A conveyor unit which can be displaced for conveying vehicle bodies and which includes a bogie assembly and a coupling device which is connected to the bogie assembly and which is configured such that it interacts with the base areas of the vehicle body which are upwardly orientated to the roof. Also a conveyor system having at least one conveyor unit of such type and a plant for machining vehicle bodies. Vehicle bodies are conveyed by a conveyor system between and/or in machining stations, said plant also including such a conveyor system.
Abstract: An oxidation furnace for the oxidative treatment of fibers having a housing which is gas-tight, apart from passage openings for the fibers, inter alia. A process chamber is located in the interior of the housing. Deflecting rollers guide the fibers through the process chamber in a serpentine manner so that the fibers lie next to one another as a fiber carpet which spans a plane between opposite deflecting rollers. An atmosphere-generating device can generate a hot working atmosphere and includes a blowing device with at least one outlet window through which a hot working atmosphere can be blown into the process chamber between two adjacent planes of the fiber carpet (22a). The working atmosphere is guided into the process chamber by a flow guiding system. The flow guiding system includes exchangeable flow guiding elements with flow passages which can be detachably and/or movably mounted on the blowing device, before the outlet window.
Abstract: Rail system for an electrical pallet conveyor system, having a switch point which is arranged between a main track and a plurality of secondary tracks and which includes a plurality of moving rail sections. Depending on their position, the rail sections are able to connect the main track to the secondary tracks. The moving rail sections which are associated with one rail of the main track are in this case mounted on a first moving slide, and the moving rail sections which are associated with the second rail of the main track are mounted on a second moving slide which can move independently of the first slide. A dedicated drive which can be separately actuated by a control device is associated with each slide.

Abstract: A high rotation atomizer functioning with inner charging includes a high-voltage circuit which generates a high voltage that can be applied to a bell cup, from a low voltage. This high-voltage circuit includes a measuring resistor in a circuit path between the turbine casing of the turbine driving the bell cup and ground. A first measuring voltage can be tapped at this first measuring resistor, which voltage is a measure for the voltage applied at the turbine casing. A second measuring resistor is placed in a circuit path between the turbine casing and ground. A second measuring voltage is tapped at this resistor, which is likewise a measure for the voltage applied at the turbine casing. If the information gained from the two measuring voltages deviates too strongly from each other, then the control device triggers an error signal. By this means, the safety of the entire system is increased.
Abstract: A separator unit having a panel-shaped separator electrode on which at least one separator surface is formed for the overspray. A feed device ensures that a separator liquid can be fed to the separator surface of the separator electrode. It has a channel that can be filled with the separator liquid, and a removal device which can remove separator liquid from the channel. The latter includes a shape-changing, flexible and/or elastic expansion element arranged in the channel, which at least partially delimits a closed cavity. The removal device includes a pump device with which a pressure medium can be pushed into the closed cavity. As a result of the volume expansion of the closed cavity when “pumping up” said expansion element, separator liquid is displaced over the edges of the channel and from here it can be conducted onto the separator surface of the separator electrode in a suitable manner.
Abstract: An installation for dip coating articles, which are movable up to and away from at least one dip tank with the aid of a transport system. In order to be dipped and removed, they are moved onto a rotary platform of at least one stationary rotary station and are dipped into and removed from the treatment liquid by rotation of the rotary platform. Each article is fastened with the aid of a fastening device to a skid which interacts with the transport system. The fastening device has a holding structure for the article and at least two rockers which are U- or V-shaped and are fastened in a pivotable manner to the holding structure at their vertex. The two arms of the U or V have a slot into which one guide pin fastened to the skid engages and slides in the corresponding slot upon rotation of the skid.
Abstract: A method for precipitating overspray from the overspray-laden booth exhaust air of coating installations, in particular from painting installations, the overspray is carried by an air stream to a precipitation device, where a majority at least of the solid material is precipitated from the overspray. The overspray-laden booth exhaust air is guided through filter modules, in which overspray is precipitated and which are designed as replaceable one-way components having a filter housing and a filter unit, wherein each filter module is replaced by an empty filter module after reaching a loading overspray. Moreover, the invention relates to a device for precipitating overspray by means of such one-way filter modules, and to an installation for coating objects, in particular vehicle bodies.
Abstract: A changer device for coating media having a housing, which has a delivery port which can be connected to an application device. At least one change unit is provided which includes at least a first and second inlet port, at least one outlet port and a valve device which may connect the first inlet port or the second inlet port to the outlet port, or which may block the flow channel to the outlet port. The valve device may be a rotating element and/or sliding element that is arranged in a valve chamber and includes a plurality of passage ducts which are able to connect fluidically the outlet port with one or both of the at least two inlet ports of the changer unit. The at least one such change unit may be provided in a coating system for coating objects with an application device and a plurality of reservoirs.
Abstract: In a method for operating a surface treatment installation, overspray produced in a coating booth is taken up by an air stream and carried to one or more one-way filter modules, in which overspray is separated. Once a limit loading with overspray is reached, a one-way filter module is exchanged for an empty one-way filter module. Depending on the nature and characteristics of the overspray, the one or more one-way filter module(s) may be chosen from a set of different one-way filter modules. A set of filter modules for use in a surface treatment installation is provided having various filter modules formed as exchangeable one-way structural units with a module housing and a filter unit. The module housings of the various filter modules have the same-connection module inlets and the same-connection module outlets and at least the filter units of two different filter modules are formed differently.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for operating a surface treatment system in which overspray, which is generated in one or several coating booths, is picked up by an air stream and is guided to one or more one-way separation units in which the overspray is separated, said units being respectively exchanged, after reaching an overspray charge limit, as charged one-way separation units with an empty one-way separation unit. Said charged one way separation units are used to produce a treatment material which enables a later valuation.
