Spray material is applied to a workpiece by directing a spray jet of an applicator, monitoring the jet geometry, and comparing it with a predetermined geometry

摘要

A process for applying a spray material to a workpiece, comprises directing an optical detector unit (1) on the spray jet (2) of an applicator (3). The detector picks up the geometry of the jet, and compares it with a predetermined geometry. The robot (4) used to control the geometry of the jet moves to a measurement region which is separate from the application region. A process for applying a spray material to a workpiece, comprises directing an optical detector unit (1) on the spray jet (2) of an applicator (3). The detector picks up the geometry of the jet, and compares it with a predetermined geometry. The robot (4) used to control the geometry of the jet moves to a measurement region which is separate from the application region. A defined amount of the spray material is placed in a container (6), and during measurement the jet is moved through 90 degrees.
