摘要:
An electrostatic coating apparatus (1) includes: a spray gun (2) configured to spray a coating material onto a coating object (CD); a voltage application device (4) configured to apply a high voltage to the spray gun (2); and a current measurement device (5) configured to measure electric current flowing through the spray gun (2). When the spray gun (2), which is in a state of not spraying the coating material onto the coating object (CD) and is under application of the high voltage from the voltage application device (4), is located at a distance from the coating object (CD), the electric current flowing through the spray gun (2) is measured by the current measurement device (5). A grounded state of the coating object (CD) is checked, based on the measured electric current. This shortens the time required for checking the grounded state, while allowing for downsizing and simplified configuration of production equipment and reduction of equipment cost.
