AUTOMATIC COATING METHOD AND APPARATUS

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To enhance workability and productivity by simplifying the replacing work of a cartridge to a coating apparatus. SOLUTION: When a cartridge 25 is replaced, the filled cartridge 25 filled with paint of a next color is preliminarily taken out from the filling stand 56 of a paint filling device 55 by one gripper 101 of a cartridge gripping device 100 and the used empty cartridge 25 is gripped by the other gripper 102 thereof in such a state that the filled cartridge 25 is gripped by one gripper 101 to be detached from a coating apparatus. By this constitution, the filled cartridge 25 gripped by the other gripper 102 can be attached to the coating apparatus immediately after the empty cartridge 25 is detached from the coating apparatus and the replacing work of the cartridge 25 can be simplified.
