Abstract: The invention relates to an automatic cleaning process, carried out during cleaning sequences during which all or at least part of an element to be cleaned is cleaned, each element to be cleaned being positioned inside a controlled atmosphere booth belonging to a coating facility. The cleaning sequences of the element(s) are programmed during imposed production stoppages of the facility.The invention also relates to a drying station, intended to be positioned inside a booth with a controlled atmosphere belonging to a coating facility, this drying station being dimensioned to receive all or part of a spraying robot, comprising a moving arm at the end of which a handle and a sprayer attached on the handle are provided.

Abstract: This method allows a coating product to be applied to a component (13) being moved by a conveyor (12), along which conveyor at least one spray (62.1, 62.2) is arranged. It comprises automated steps involving determining, within a fixed frame of reference (X12, Y12, Z12), the coordinates of the points (A1, B1, C1, A2, B2, C2) of one or more lines (L1, L2) of the exterior profile of the component which are distributed along the length of the component, in assigning to each spray the points of each exterior profile line that lie within its field of spraying, in identifying, from among the points assigned to each spray, the point (A1, A2; B1, B2) closest to the spray for each exterior profile line, in determining, for each spray, a line (L3, L4) to follow that passes through all the points (A1, A2, B1, B2) closest to the spray as identified in step c), and in establishing a reference path for each spray according to the points on the line (L3, L4) to follow so that the application distance of each spray is adjusted automatically and independently according to the exterior profile of the component.
