  • Patent number: 11840102
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for surface-treating a part (2), comprising: a measurement step, during which movement means (3), to which the part (2) is secured, are moved and a set of instantaneous velocities, at the surface (1) of the part (2), is determined by means of a measurement sensor (9), a signal processing step, during which a microcontroller (8) determines, from the data representative of the set of instantaneous velocities, a pulse train signal (S) representative of a set of frequencies of ejection of a substance (13) to be deposited, a deposition step, during which the microcontroller (8) transmits the pulse train signal (S) to the deposition means (6) in order to eject the substance (13) according to the pulse train signal (S).
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 11794489
    Abstract: The present invention concerns a facility (1) for printing surfaces of parts comprising: —apart support (3) mounted on a movement device (4) having at least five degrees of freedom, —at least one spray printing head and means (8) for sensing speeds and/or coordinates mounted on a support (11), —means (10) capable of controlling the printing means and the movement device (4), the movement device (4) and the support (11) being arranged opposite each other and a spatial reference frame (X, Y, Z) being assigned to said fixed support structure (11). A printing facility (1) characterised in that the printing means (5) consist of at least two monochromatic or bi-chromatic printing heads that are able to rotate and/or move in translation with at least one degree of freedom.
