  • Patent number: 9174230
    Abstract: A dosing device for a program controlled spray painting apparatus adapted for dosing electrically conductive fluid materials to a spray gun/applicator. The spray gun may be charged at a high voltage for electrostatically charged atomizing of electrically conductive fluid materials. A coating system includes the dosing device, which is moved by an actuator between a connecting member for a paint filling line or a cleaning fluid supply line, and a spray gun. A method and a computer program for carrying out the method.

  • Patent number: 5733374
    Abstract: A robot installation for painting objects inside a painting booth (CA) having walls (WA, WB) isolating the object (AU) to be painted from the surroundings, is suitably integrated in the booth walls in order to save interior booth space and achieve a robot operation better adapted to the painting process. The installation includes at least one main robot shaft (RS) associated with a painting tool and protruding through at least one slot (LS) penetrating the booth walls for servo-controlled movements along such slots and possibly also in the direction of and/or about the axis of the shaft. Servo-drive means are disposed for controlling the robot shaft movements in accordance with a preprogrammed motional pattern for the painting tool, including tracking of a travelling object to be painted. The slot is disposed on a rotatable element e.g.
