Method and device for imaging and/or varnishing the surfaces of objects

摘要

A method and a device for imaging and/or varnishing the surfaces of objects or vehicles, etc. includes adapting a time lag between an application of fluid and further treatment thereof, such as drying ink or varnish, to a spreading behavior of the fluid during the application thereof. The fluid may be applied to the surface of the object in sections, firstly drying the fluid in individual sections before applying it to the next section.

主权项

1. A method of treating surfaces of objects with fluids, the method comprising the following steps:
providing a robot arm having an end; providing an inkjet print head as a first tool attached to the end of the robot arm; providing a dryer tool as a second tool attached to the end of the robot arm; applying a fluid in a first section and a second section of a curved surface using the first tool having a computer-controlled movement; intermittently further treating the fluid in the first section and the second section using the second tool having a computer-controlled movement; adapting a time lag, between the steps of applying the fluid to the object and intermittently further treating the fluid, to a spreading behavior of the fluid; carrying out the steps of applying the fluid in the first section and the second section and intermittently further treating the fluid in the first section and the second section with the adapted time lag set between a first displacement of the first tool in a direction and a second displacement of the second tool in the same direction; and carrying out a return displacement between the first and second displacements.
