Abstract: The disclosure relates to an electrode arrangement for the electrostatic external charging of paint on a rotary atomizer, which has an atomizer housing with an end-face tu-bus which preferably extends coaxially with the rotation axis of the rotary atomizer towards a bell cup. The electrode arrangement has a mounting ring for mounting the electrode arrangement on the atomizer housing of the rotary atomizer, as well as at least one charging electrode for the electrostatic external charging of the paint sprayed off by the rotary atomizer, the at least one charging electrode preferably projecting from the electrode arrangement. The disclosure additionally provides a closed tube shield projecting from the end face of the mounting ring, which in the mounted state extends along the rotation axis of the rotary atomizer as far as the tube of the rotary atomizer in order to shield at least part of the tube of the rotary atomizer on its outside from overspray.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to a protective covering for a robot hand axis of a robot, in particular in a painting robot. The protective covering according to the disclosure has a protective sheath for at least partially enclosing the robot hand axis. Furthermore, the protective covering according to the disclosure has a proximal protective sheath fastening for fastening the protective sheath to a fastening point on a proximal component of the robot hand axis or on the robot arm of the robot. Furthermore, the protective covering according to the disclosure has a distal protective sheath fastening for fastening the protective sheath to the tool. The disclosure provides that the proximal protective sheath fastening and preferably also the distal protective sheath fastening allows a rotational movement of the protective sheath relative to the fastening point on the proximal component of the robot hand axis or on the robot arm of the robot.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to an operating method for an atomizer for painting components (e.g. motor vehicle body components) with a paint, with the following a) Painting with the atomizer with an attachment component mounted on it (e.g. charging ring for exterior painting, protective cover, handling tool), b) replacing the attachment component on the atomizer with another attachment component (e.g. charging ring for the interior painting, protective cover, handling tool). The disclosure further comprises a painting system for carrying out the operating method according to the disclosure.

Abstract: The disclosure relates in particular to an apparatus for disinfecting at least one room, in particular for one or more persons, preferably a dwelling space or treatment room, for example a treatment room in a building, in particular a sickroom, a patient room and/or an operating theatre, by means of an atomiser. Specifically, the apparatus is characterised in that the atomiser includes a rotatable bell cup for atomising a disinfectant into the room. The disclosure relates to an associated method and furthermore to the use of a bell cup for atomising a disinfectant in a room for, in particular, one or more persons.

Abstract: The invention relates to an apparatus (100) for disinfecting at least one room, in particular for one or more persons, preferably a dwelling room, storage room, cooling room or treatment room, for example a treatment room of a building, in particular a sickroom, a patient room and/or an operating room, with a rotatable bell cup (1) for atomising a disinfectant, a hollow drive shaft (10) for driving the bell cup (1), and a housing (11) in which a drive unit (2) for driving the drive shaft (10) is accommodated and preferably the drive shaft (10) is accommodated. The apparatus (100) is particularly characterised in that the housing (11) has a plurality of cooling ribs (12), and/or the drive shaft (10) is provided with a labyrinth seal (13), preferably in order to prevent unwanted penetration of liquid into the housing (11).
