Abstract: A plurality of painting zones is connected in series by a plurality of air exhaust ducts so as to allow air to flow through the painting zones. A paint mist in air having passed through a painting chamber of each painting zone is removed by a dry filter. Feedback control is performed on the temperature and the humidity of air in a second painting zone other than a third painting zone to which conditioned air from an air conditioner is supplied. Thus, it is possible to appropriately adjust the temperature and the humidity of each painting zone and avoid degradation of painting quality in each painting zone, while achieving downsizing of the entire system by not providing a recycling air conditioner on the route of an air flow passage.

Abstract: A painting system includes painting unit including a first painting robot and a second painting robot, a cartridge carrier, and a cleaning tank. The painting robots each include a robot arm including a painting machine. The cartridge carrier includes a cartridge grip part. A first region is a region where a movable region of the painting machine of the first painting robot overlaps with a movable region of the cartridge grip part. A second region is a region where the movable region of the painting machine of the second painting robot overlaps with the movable region of the cartridge grip part. The cleaning tank is provided in a position including at least a part of the first region and at least a part of the second region.

Abstract: A paint system includes a paint unit having a first paint robot and a second paint robot. The first paint robot includes a first robot base and a first robot arm operably mounted on the first robot base. The second paint robot includes a second robot base and a second robot arm operably mounted on the second robot base. When a virtual plane extending in a vertical direction and along a direction of relative movement between an object to be painted and the paint unit is defined as a reference plane, a distance between the first robot base and the reference plane is set to be shorter than a distance between the second robot base and the reference plane. A passage range allowing passage of the second robot arm is provided under the first robot base.

Abstract: A coating device includes a rotary head, a power supply part that applies a voltage to the rotary head, and a control part that controls the power supply part. The rotary head is configured so that a coating material is electrostatically atomized. The control part is configured so as to calculate a discharge current based on a total current flowing from the power supply part to the rotary head and a leak current, and control the power supply part based on the discharge current.

Abstract: A painting target surface of a resin bumper is painted by discharging a paint mist from a spray gun toward the painting target surface with a charged conductor arranged in contact with an opposite side to the painting target surface. The paint mist is uncharged or is charged with electric charges having an opposite polarity to that of the conductor and at a potential having a lower absolute value than that of the conductor.

Abstract: A coating apparatus includes a first module and a second module constituting a coating area where a coating target is coated. The first module includes a first frame and a coating robot. The second module includes a second frame. When the first module and the second module are arranged to adjoin each other in a movement path direction in which the coating target relatively moves along the coating area, the first frame of the first module and the second frame of the second module that are arranged to adjoin each other are configured to be coupled together.
