CONTROL DEVICE FOR OPERATING A COATING DEVICE

摘要

A process for operating a coating device provides for capturing variations of the angle of the coating edge of a doctor element, for instance in relation to the horizontal, directly by a signal generator attached to the doctor element in the vicinity of its coating edge. This signal generator may work on electromagnetic basis so that the signal will be transmitted to a receiver without any line. Preferably a tilt switch is provided which determines slight variations of a set angle of the coating edge relative to, for example, the horizontal by means of displacement of a mercury pearl and two electrodes which will be short-circuited by the mercury pearl.
