METHOD FOR COATING A WORKPIECE

摘要

The invention relates to a method for coating a workpiece, in which a material is applied to said workpiece in a thermal spraying process. According to the invention, the spraying operation is monitored online, whereby properties of the particles contained in the spray jet are detected and made available as actual values. Said actual values are compared either directly to target values, or characteristics that are derived from the actual values are compared to the target values and if the actual values or characteristics deviate from the predetermined target values, process parameters for the thermal spraying process are automatically adapted by a regulator, based on a neuronal network.
