Painting device and associated method

摘要

Exemplary painting devices for painting components, e.g., motor vehicle bodies or parts thereof may include a multi-axis painting robot positioning an atomizer, a robot controller for controlling the painting robot, and a controls enclosure comprising the robot controller. An exemplary controls enclosure may be a load-bearing column that mechanically supports the painting robot.

主权项

1. A painting device for painting components, comprising:
a multi-axis painting robot configured to position an atomizer, the multi-axis painting robot including:
a proximal robot arm that is proximal with respect to a robot base,a distal robot arm that is distal with respect to the robot base, anda rotatable robot part that is rotatable relative to the robot base,wherein:the proximal robot arm is pivotably connected to the rotatable robot part,the distal robot arm is pivotably connected to the proximal robot arm via an elbow joint that in a first robot position is directed in a first direction relative to the axis of rotation and in a second robot position is directed in a second direction relative to the axis of rotation; and the painting device further comprises first application technology that is arranged in or on the distal robot arm, the first application technology comprises first and second components, the first components being for first coating agents and the second components being for second coating agents, wherein the first coating agents are used more frequently than the second coating agents, the components of the first application technology for the second coating agents are mounted on or in the proximal robot arm, and the components of the first application technology for the first coating agents are mounted on or in the distal robot arm.
