    摘要: A system for applying material to a substrate includes a nozzle, robot, actuator, sensor, and controller. The robot provides primary movement such that the nozzle traverses a predefined global bead path across and spaced apart from the substrate. The actuator provides secondary relative movement between the nozzle and substrate. The sensor senses a first location on the substrate that is spaced apart from a location where the nozzle deposits material by a distance based on a sensor response time and relative speed of the nozzle and substrate. The controller detects a feature of the substrate based on the data received from the sensor. The controller directs the actuator to provide the secondary relative movement such that a bead of material is applied to the substrate along a feature-relative bead path. The controller controls the actuator to provide the secondary relative movement based on the response time and the relative speed.

    摘要: A cavity cleaning and coating system for safely and efficiently cleaning and coating the interior of a cavity without requiring entry of any workers. The cavity cleaning and coating system generally includes a mount which is coupled with a movable arm of a vehicle. The mount includes an inner plate, which is coupled to the arm, and an outer plate. A shaft is coupled to the outer plate. The mount is adjustable independently of the arm of the vehicle, including outwardly, inwardly, and rotatably. A spray head is connected to the shaft. The spray head is rotatable and includes a dispenser for dispensing fluids. The vehicle is positioned near a cavity to be treated. The mount is adjusted for optimal positioning of the spray head. The spray head is lowered into the cavity to dispense a cleaning fluid and, after the cleaning fluid has dried, a coating fluid.

    摘要: A painting plant may include: at least one painting booth including a painting system configured to apply paint onto objects in the at least one painting booth; a magazine including cartridges containing the paint; and a system configured to automatically transport the cartridges from the magazine to feeding stations which feed the paint from the cartridges to the painting system in the at least one painting booth. In addition or in the alternative, a painting plant may include: at least one painting booth including a painting system configured to apply paint onto objects in the at least one painting booth; a magazine including cartridges containing cleaning liquid; and a system configured to automatically transport the cartridges containing the cleaning liquid from the magazine to feeding stations which feed the cleaning liquid from the cartridges containing the cleaning liquid to the painting system in the at least one painting booth.
