Abstract: The invention relates to a system for the surface treatment of objects, comprising a treatment cabinet having an entry and an exit and a conveyor system comprising pulling or pushing means, by means of which an object can be conveyed in circulation in a transport direction through the treatment cabinet, thereby covering a transport distance. The object provides a transport length in the transport direction associated therewith, and the pulling or pushing means provide a drive distance in the transport direction. The conveyor system comprises a coupling device, by means of which the object can be coupled to the pulling or pushing means along the drive distance. The drive distance is shorter than the transport length of the object in the transport direction, and the coupling device is aligned so that the transport distance that can be covered by the object is longer than the drive distance.

Abstract: The invention relates to a surface treating installation, especially for treating plastic parts or automotive bodies, which includes a transfer station for vertically or horizontally transferring an object. The transfer station comprises a stationary support structure, a carriage which can travel in relation to the support structure and receives an object, and at least one guide roller via which the carriage is supported on the support structure. The at least one guide roller has a rolling surface which contacts the support structure when rolling off. The invention is characterized in that the rolling surface of the at least one guide roller consists of an antistatic material whose volume resistivity ranges between 10 ?m and 109 ?m. The invention allows to counteract the deposition of dirt particles on the guide rollers and on the mating surfaces, thereby reducing time and/or costs required for cleaning the transfer station or for post-processing the objects.

Abstract: The invention relates to a surface treating installation, especially for treating plastic parts or automotive bodies, which comprises a transfer station (24, 25) for vertically or horizontally transferring an object (12). Said transfer station comprises a stationary support structure (34), a carriage (40) which can travel in relation to the support structure (34) and receives an object (12), and at least one guide roller (64, 66, 68, 70; 70?; 70?) via which the carriage is supported on the support structure (34). The at least one guide roller has a rolling surface (118; 118?; 118?) which contacts the support structure when rolling off. The invention is characterized in that the rolling surface of the at least one guide roller consists of an antistatic material whose volume resistivity ranges between 10 Om and 109 Om.
