  • Patent number: 10975463
    Abstract: A method for coating a workpiece by using a spraying device is provided. The coating of the workpiece is performed according to at least one coating parameter and at least the following steps are performed during the coating: sensing a locational heat distribution in a working area of a surface of the workpiece; and adjusting the at least one coating parameter in accordance with the sensed heat distribution. A device for coating a workpiece is also provided.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20150140199
    Abstract: A monitoring device (14) and a method for monitoring spray coating of a component by a spraying device (1) including a spray nozzle (3) movable along a specific path in relation to a component surface to be coated. The device has: an input interface (15) for inputting geometry data representative of the geometry of the component surface; a path data recording device (17) for time-resolved recording of path data of the spray nozzle (3) in relation to the component surface; a process data recording device (19) for time-resolved recording of process data of the coating process using the spray nozzle (3); a simulation unit (21) connected to the input interface (15) for receiving the data, for simulating application of the spray coating to the component surface on the basis of the data recorded; and a deviation calculation unit (23), connected to the simulation unit (21), for receiving simulation data and calculating a deviation of the simulated coating from the desired coating.
