  • Patent number: 8361290
    Abstract: A coupling which is rotatable about a vertical axis of rotation and intended for the mounting of a workpiece support which can be loaded, for example, with incorrectly coated or worn workpieces is arranged in a removable holder above a tank filled with an electrolyte. Said workpiece support is connected via the coupling to a current supply device, to the opposite pole of which an opposite electrode is connected. A heating and cooling device and an ultrasound generator are also arranged in the tank. By current supply and simultaneous rotation, the coating is removed from the workpiece support and/or from the workpieces. After incorrect coating, the workpieces together with the workpiece support and in certain circumstances with the holder can be taken over directly from a coating installation and, after coating removal, transferred to such a coating installation for recoating.

  • Publication number: 20080053841
    Abstract: A coupling (7) which is rotatable about a vertical axis of rotation and intended for the mounting of a workpiece support (15) which can be loaded, for example, with incorrectly coated or worn workpieces (18) is arranged in a removable holder (5) above a tank (2) filled with an electrolyte. Said workpiece support is connected via the coupling (7) to a current supply device, to the opposite pole of which an opposite electrode (12) is connected. A heating and cooling device (13) and an ultrasound generator (14) are also arranged in the tank (2). By current supply and simultaneous rotation, the coat is stripped from the workpiece support (15) and/or from the workpieces (18). After incorrect coating, the workpieces (18) together with the workpiece support (15) and in certain circumstances with the holder (5) can be taken over directly from a coating unit and, after coat stripping, transferred to such a coating unit for recoating.
