  • Publication number: 20130224398
    Abstract: The invention relates in particular to a method of painting a motor vehicle bodywork part, the method comprising the steps consisting in applying a first component on the part, in allowing the first component to tension on said part during a so-called “flash-off” stage, then in applying a second component on the part, the part being moved by a handler robot in front of a stationary applicator during the two spraying steps and in front of flash-off acceleration means during the flash-off stage. The invention also provides a painting booth having at least one stationary applicator for applying a paint component on a part carried by an arm of a handler robot that is present in the booth, and means for accelerating the flash-off of the part, the means being arranged in the booth in such a manner that the part can enter into the field of action of the acceleration means while being carried by the same handler robot.
