DEVICE FOR TREATING, IN PARTICULAR FOR COATING, OBJECTS, IN PARTICULAR VEHICLE BODIES

摘要

A device (7) for treating, in particular for coating, objects (2), in particular vehicle bodies, comprises a plurality of arms (10) which are variable in shape, which all start from a single common and stationary connecting region (8) and all bear at least one treatment device (11, 12) at their free end. The arms (10) are variable in shape in that they can be bent under computer control at least at a plurality of locations along their longitudinal extent through various angles which are not limited to a single plane. In this way, the treatments of objects (2) can be carried out with lower expenditure on hardware and software than was previously possible with the use of conventional robots.
