Abstract: According to the present invention, an assembly suitability determination device determines suitability of assembly of a component to a paint device. The assembly suitability determination device includes an assembly suitability information recording unit, and an assembly suitability determination unit. The assembly suitability information recording unit records model information representing a model of the component and model information representing a model of a device-side component that receives the component on the paint device, and is suitable for the assembly of the component while associating the model information on the component with the model information on the device-side component. The assembly suitability determination unit determines the suitability of the assembly based on the model information on the component, the model information on the device-side component, and a recorded content of the assembly suitability information recording unit.

Abstract: The invention relates to a station (15) for applying paint or powder to scar bodies, said station comprising at least one body transporting device (2) enabling each body (2) to be displaced in the station according to a transport direction (A), without stopping in the area of the station through which they are passing, and at least one spray robot (16) comprising at least one sprayer (25) and provided with first monitoring means. The invention is characterised in that the station (15) comprises at least one opening device or operating sash (28, 29, 30), each fitted with second monitoring means (32, 33, 35, 40, 42, 45) enabling it to be displaced parallel to the transport direction (A), said second monitoring means being separate from the first means for monitoring the spray robots (16).

Abstract: The invention concerns painting installations comprising painting machines or robots (6a, 6b, 7a, 7b, 8a, 8b, 9a, 9b), each with a sprayer (12) and a paint reservoir (13), associated with the sprayer and designed to supply it, the machines or robots being arranged along a painting line for motor vehicle bodies (2). Each machine or robot is provided with a fluidic connector, designed to co-operate discontinuously with a dispensing system (14a, 14b, 15a, 15b) comprising a color shade-changing unit. Each dispensing system (14a, 14b, 15a, 15b) is arranged between two consecutive machines (6a, 7a; 6b, 7b; 8a, 9a; 8b, 9b), and is common to those two machines, which are successively connected thereto to fill their respective reservoirs each time there is a color shade change.

Abstract: A device is provided for spraying a coating product including a moving arm able to perform a tracking movement for tracking an object to be coated which is moving in a horizontal plane along an axis of conveying, a sprayer disposed at an end of the moving arm, and a base on which the moving arm is pivotably disposed, the base is rotatable about an axis generally horizontal and generally perpendicular to the axis of conveying and the base is translatable.

Abstract: The invention concerns a mobile (10) providing a displacement for controlling the object to be covered moving in a horizontal plane on a conveyor or the like, and at the free end of which is mounted a sprayer (17). The pivoting arm (10) is mounted on a base capable of being driven in rotational motion about a substantially horizontal axis (12) substantially perpendicular to the conveying axis. In a first embodiment, it provides a translation movement along a substantially vertical or horizontal axis of the rotary base (6) bearing the arm and in another embodiment, it produces an articulation forming a bend on the arm bearing the sprayer.

Abstract: A process for spraying a coating product composed of: mounting a sprayer on a movable support member of a spraying machine; providing an object having a plurality of surfaces which surfaces include first and second surfaces which are oriented at least approximately vertically during spraying and are angled relative to one another, and a third surface which is oriented at least approximately horizontally during spraying; in a first spraying step, spraying the product onto at least the first surface from a sprayer while displacing the sprayer past the first one of the surfaces and while the first surface is oriented at least approximately vertically; rotating the object about a vertical axis after the first spraying step; and, in a second spraying step, after the rotating step, spraying the product onto at least the second surface from the sprayer while displacing the sprayer past the second one of the surfaces and while the second surface is oriented at least approximately vertically, wherein the product is sp
