    Abstract: A pipeline construction usable for internally insulating a welded joint between pipes with an internal protective coating. A device for internally insulating a welded pipeline joint includes a sealing assembly including a cylindrical housing and a coaxially-fastened cylindrical working member that radially expands upon generation of excess pressure in a cavity thereof. Inside the housing are a sealing compound feed assembly, a dosing device formed by a piston assembly for sealing compound components, and a pneumatic control assembly. In the dosing device, working cavities for each component are connected to the feed assembly. The elastic working member has a conduit connected to the feed assembly for feeding sealing compound into an annular gap in a welded joint region, and a conduit for pumping air out of the gap. The pneumatic control assembly controls dosing device and feed assembly functioning and generates excess air pressure in the working member cavity.

    Abstract: An end effector for a robotic unit used to manipulate a vehicle door, which includes: a detection module; a transmission member extending into the detection module and configured to generate a detection signal; a toggle configured for engagement with the vehicle door via movement of the end effector along a first (e.g., (generally) vertical) axis; and an interrupter operatively connected to the toggle such that engagement of the toggle with the vehicle door and disengagement of the toggle from the vehicle door displaces the interrupter along a second (e.g., (generally) horizontal) axis between a first position, in which the interrupter interferes with the detection signal to thereby inhibit circuit completion, and a second position, in which the interrupter permits transmission of the detection signal across the detection module to thereby permit circuit completion and inform the robotic unit of engagement between the end effector and the vehicle door.

    Abstract: The disclosure relates to a path correction method for correcting paint tracks when coating a component (e.g., motor vehicle body component) with a coating agent (e.g., paint). The path correction method includes:



    Defining a reference path,
    applying a first paint track of the coating agent to the component, where the first paint track and the reference path run adjacent to one another and ideally adjoin one another without a path error at a seam,
    determining the interfering path error at the seam between the first paint track and the adjacent reference path, and
    determining path correction values for correcting the course of the first paint track in a subsequent coating operation, the path correction values being determined as a function of the path error.




    Furthermore, the disclosure comprises a corresponding coating method and a correspondingly adapted coating system.

    Abstract: A printing method using an ink ejection head and a robot to perform printing while the robot arm scans the ink ejection head, the printing method including steps of performing a first printing by ejecting ink from a first nozzle array in a state in which the relative position of a distal end of the robot arm with respect to a proximal end of the robot arm is at a predetermined position, moving the ink ejection head relative to a target object such that a second nozzle array is disposed at the same position as the first nozzle array during the first printing and a relative position of the distal end of the robot arm is at the predetermined position, and performing a second printing while the robot arm scans the ink ejection head relative to the object along the same scan trajectory as during the first printing.

    Abstract: An apparatus for supplying chemical liquid may include a gantry, a chemical liquid supply member providing a chemical liquid onto a substrate, and a moving device supporting the chemical liquid supply member and moving along the gantry. The moving device may include a moving member, load supporting members and absorbing members. The moving member may support one side of the chemical liquid supply member and may run over the gantry. The moving member may cover an upper face, a first side and a second side of the gantry. The load supporting members may support a load applied to the moving member and the gantry while maintaining a substantially constant distance between the moving member and the gantry. The absorbing members may absorb an impulsive load or an impulsive force applied to the moving member and/or the gantry when the moving member deviates from a moving path provided by the gantry.
