PROCESS & ASSEMBLY FOR FORMING A PLASTIC SKIN ON A 3D TEMPLATE SURFACE

摘要

The present invention discloses an assembly for spray coating a plasticized skin onto a three dimensional template surface configured within a one piece template body. A transfer mechanism includes at least one gripping arm terminating in a body exhibiting a template surface. A first spray station applies a plastic skin coating to the template surface, with a second trimming operation to which the body is communicated in order to remove the plastic skin coating from the body and to finish the skin. The gripping arms are typically incorporated into a transfer mechanism further includes first and second pairs of telescoping arms extending in opposite directions from a rotatable turret, the body further including first and second bodies secured to extending ends of the pairs of arms.
