  • Patent number: 11253888
    Abstract: This method for painting a surface (S62) of a component (6) with a pattern includes at least the following steps consisting in applying a first coating product on at least a portion of the surface, automatically applying at least one portion of a mask (12) on a portion (Z62) of the surface, applying a second coating product and on the surface and removing the mask (12). Preferably, the mask (12) is at least partially automatically applied in the form of at least one layer (122, 124, 126) of non-atomized fluid, the layer being obtained by moving (A1) an applicator (16) delivering the non-atomized fluid along the portion (Z62) of the surface (S62) where the mask (12) is to be applied.

  • Publication number: 20210394206
    Abstract: A bowl for spraying a coating product, intended to be integrated into a rotary spraying apparatus for spraying a coating product. The spraying apparatus includes a turbine for rotating the bowl about an axis of rotation, and a body that defines the axis of rotation and includes shaping air ejection orifices arranged in a crown. The bowl includes a body which is centered in relation to an axis and which defines an inner radial surface for distributing the coating product to a spraying edge, as well as an outer radial surface. The outer radial surface of the bowl includes a deflector for at least partially directing a flow of cleaning product towards the crown of the body, the cleaning product flowing along the outer radial surface towards the spraying edge.

  • Patent number: 11161134
    Abstract: A method of applying a coating product on a surface of a part, this method being carried out using an applicator including at least one row of nozzles, among which at least the first nozzle in the row includes a valve, the method including moving the applicator in a first direction to apply a first layer of coating product, and moving the applicator in a second direction substantially parallel to the first direction to apply a second layer of coating product adjacent to the first layer, comprising measuring at least one application distance of the first nozzle from a point in front of the first nozzle on a path of the applicator, and based on the measured application distance, opening or closing the valve.
