  • Patent number: 12115545
    Abstract: An installation including an atomizer configured to atomize a fluid, a robot and a first station, the robot being configured to move the atomizer in a predetermined reference frame between at least a first position and a second position, the atomizer being configured to atomize the fluid when the atomizer is in the first position, a distance being defined between the atomizer and the first station, the distance when the atomizer is in the second position being strictly less than the distance when the atomizer is in the first position. The first station includes at least one sensor configured to measure at least one value of a parameter of the atomizer when the atomizer is in the second position.

  • Patent number: 10307773
    Abstract: This coating system (2) for coating a workpiece (W1) with a liquid coating product, includes an ultrasonic spray head (14) for generating droplets of coating products, an electrode (32A) for generating an electrostatic field (E) between the electrode and the ultrasonic spray head (14) and a high-voltage generator (52) connected to the electrode for supplying the electrode with high voltage. The shape of the electrode (32A) is advantageously configurable on the basis of the geometry of the workpiece (W1).

  • Patent number: 5913904
    Abstract: In the jig type textile finishing method and apparatus of the invention, the textile material (19) passes through a heated treatment bath (20) and is rolled alternately in one direction and in the opposite direction with high frequency or microwave electromagnetic waves (24) being applied to said textile material (19) while it is being rolled in and/or out. The power of the waves is determined, as a function of the optimum temperature for the reaction that is to be implemented, in such a manner as to maintain the temperature of the assembly (5, 6) constituted by the rolled-in textile material and the bath in which it is impregnated substantially equal to or greater than said optimum temperature.
