Definitions
- the invention relates to a device for painting rims, which is designed for the production of normal rims as well as for the production of special rims (glossy rims), with a pretreatment device, followed by a powder primer followed by a final coating device, in particular an acrylate powder device ,
- the invention further relates to a method for painting rims, in which blanks are pretreated in a pretreatment device, the pretreated blanks transferred to a powder primer and coated there and the blanks are finish-coated in a final coating device.
- the rims first pass through a pretreatment device, then a powder primer and finally an end coating device, in which they are preferably finish-coated with acrylate powder.
- the pretreatment in some process steps deviates somewhat from the usual pretreatment of standard rims.
- a whole series of pre-treatment steps can be carried out together with the pretreatment of standard rims.
- the invention is therefore an object of the invention to provide a device and a method for painting wheels, which both a production of standard wheels and special rims is made possible and thus greater flexibility in the production of special rims is guaranteed. Likewise, downtimes and energy consumption should be kept as low as possible.
- a device for painting rims which is designed for the production of normal rims as well as for the production of special rims (glossy rims), with a pretreatment device, which is followed by a powder primer, of a basecoat Appli- cation device and a Endbe harshungs announced, in particular a Acrylatpulver overlooked, followed, wherein at least the Pulver groundier worn, the basecoat application device and the Endbe harshungs responded are coupled via conveyors and handling devices for spindle synchronous operation, the Endbe harshungs worn is coupled to both the pretreatment device and with the basecoat application device, and wherein at least one leading by the Endbe harshungs favorable conveyor is provided which has such capacity at rim receiving stations that in spindle synchronous operation both a recording e of standard rims as well as special rims is possible.
- the invention is further solved by a method for painting wheels with the following steps: (a) pre-treating blanks (74) in a pre-treatment device (11, IIa, Ib);
- the at least one conveyor passing through the end coating device is designed so that special rims can be placed on free receiving spaces of the conveyor in spindle-synchronous operation so that normal rims and special rims can be end-coated in parallel with each other in spindle synchronous operation
- the system must at a Conversion between a treatment of standard rims and special rims and vice versa not be initially drained. Rather, special rims can be treated parallel to normal rims in the device according to the invention. In this way, downtime and associated energy losses are avoided.
- the remaining stations of the system can be treated at any time a certain proportion of special rims parallel to normal rims with virtually no downtime.
- a spray station for painting with clearcoat can be attached to the basecoat application device.
- the pretreatment device is designed both for the pretreatment of normal blanks and for the pretreatment of special blanks.
- the pretreatment plant on a conveyor which passes through various optionally switchable or switchable treatment stations for blanks and special blanks.
- the pretreatment plant has at least two injection tunnels, each for the pre-treatment of blanks and are designed for the pretreatment of special blanks and which preferably each a conveyor is assigned.
- the Endbe Anlagenngsein- device on a powder booth, a dryer and a cooling zone which are traversed by a common conveyor, which is designed both for receiving blanks and for receiving special blanks.
- the entire final coating device can be used for powder coating of blanks or special blanks.
- the conveying capacity of the common conveyor is dimensioned sufficiently large to be able to finish both blanks and special blanks in the specified cycle time. For example, if the final coating device is designed for 600 parts / hour, e.g. 600 normal rims / hour are finished or e.g. 400 standard rims and at the same time 200 special rims, which are fed directly from the pretreatment device.
- the conveyors can be designed, for example, as circular conveyors, spindle conveyors, floor conveyors or Power & Free conveyors.
- a power & free conveyor is provided in the region of the pretreatment device, which is coupled with buffers for pretreated blanks and special blanks.
- buffers risks overflowing buffers. This can be avoided by transporting the special blanks and the blanks in the pre-treatment plant each from separate conveyors, such as two circular conveyors.
- the blanks and special blanks are preferably transported either by means of a common conveyor through the pretreatment device and selectively switched or switched treatment stations for pretreatment of the blanks and the special blanks, or the blanks and special blanks are each funded by separate spray tunnel. In the latter case, a separate conveyor is required for each spray tunnel.
- the blanks and special blanks are transported by means of a conveyor in the pretreatment device through a common dryer zone and cooling zone.
- the blanks can be varnished after the base coat application in a spray station with clear coat.
- This process is less expensive than a final treatment with an acrylate powder coating.
- Fig. 1 is an overall scheme of a device according to the invention
- FIG. 2 is an enlarged detail view of a common conveyor pretreatment apparatus which allows switching between different pretreatment areas
- Fig. 3 shows an alternative construction of a pretreatment device with two separate spray tunnels, which are traversed by means of two conveyors;
- Fig. 5 is a detail view of a hanger for receiving rims on a circular conveyor and Fig. 6 is a detail of a recorded on a bottom conveyor spindle on which a rim is placed.
- a device according to the invention for painting wheels which is designed for the production of normal rims, as well as for the production of special rims, shown schematically and generally designated by the numeral 10.
- the apparatus 10 comprises a pretreatment device 11, a powder primer 21, followed by a basecoat application device 45 with a preheating station 46 (dryer), a spray booth 48 for spraying basecoat (generally silver primer), a dryer 52 for firing and a cooling section 54 on. Between the spray booth 48 and the dryer 52 may optionally be provided a further spray booth 50 for the application of clearcoat.
- the device 10 has an end coating device 61, which is designed for coating with acrylate powder.
- the end coating device 61 is arranged and designed in such a way that, in addition to a transfer of parts coming from the powder primer 21 or the clearcoat spraying device 45, an immediate transfer of parts from the pretreatment device 11 is possible.
- the pretreatment device 11 is designed both for the pretreatment of "normal” blanks and for the pretreatment of "special blanks" (ie previously powder-coated wheels which have been mechanically reworked, for example, turned into a luster).
- the pre-treatment device 11 has a spray tunnel 12, followed by a dryer 14 and a cooling zone 16, which are passed through by a common conveyor 18.
- the conveyor 18 may be formed, for example, as a circular conveyor.
- the powder primer 21 has a conveyor 22 in the form of a Spindle conveyor or floor conveyor, from which a first powder booth 24 and / or a second powder booth 26 (for the primer with a different color) are traversed.
- the conveyor 22 is coupled to the conveyor 18 of the pretreatment device 11 via a handling device 20, which is preferably a robot.
- a further handling device 28, which is also preferably a robot, allows a transfer of parts to another conveyor 30.
- the conveyor 30 is preferably again designed as a spindle conveyor or floor conveyor.
- parts can be taken over by the conveyor 30 and transferred to a downstream conveyor 56, which passes through the basecoat application device 45 and the transfer of the parts by means of another handling device 58 (preferably in the form of a robot) to the end coating device 61 allows.
- parts can be transferred by means of the handling device 36 to a conveyor 40, through which the parts are conveyed to one or more mechanical finishing stations 42, for example, a turning device.
- mechanical finishing stations 42 for example, a turning device.
- the mechanical processing station 42 is shown only by way of example and preferably provided with one or more sufficiently sized buffers, so that sufficient special blanks are mechanically reworked available, which can be the pretreatment device 11 selectively via a handling device 44 (preferably a robot) can be supplied. Immediately before the handling device 44, a further buffer 43 may be provided.
- the handling device 44 can thus selectively supply the pre-treatment device 11 with either blanks for producing standard rims or special blanks for producing special rims. Standard rims, which have previously passed through the spray booth 48 for basecoat application after passing through a predrying dryer 46, can optionally pass through the spray booth 50 for the application of clearcoat. Subsequently, the parts are guided by means of the conveyor 56 for burning through a dryer 52 and finally through a subsequent cooling zone 54th
- Rims treated in this way with clearcoat are preferably removed by means of a handling device 55. Rims which have not been treated with a clearcoat then reach the handling device 58, by means of which a transfer to the final coating device 61 takes place.
- the optionally provided spray booth 50 for the application of clearcoat can only be used in the treatment of standard wheels. In some cases, the customer wished to use standard rims which, after basecoat application (usually with silver paint), are only finished with clearcoat.
- the conveyor 56 which is preferably again designed as a spindle conveyor or floor conveyor, a transport of blanks from the powder primer 21 on the basecoat application device 45 to the handling device 58 for transfer to the final coating 61 allows.
- the end coating device 61 has a conveyor 60, which is preferably again designed as a spindle conveyor or bottom conveyor.
- a conveyor 60 By means of the conveyor 60, blanks or special blanks can be conveyed through a powder booth 62, in which preferably a coating with acrylate powder takes place.
- the conveyor 60 is coupled to the pretreatment device 11 via a handling device 63 in the form of a robot.
- a handling device 63 can thus, from the pre-treatment device 11 special blanks are passed directly to the final coating device 61 after a suitable pre-treatment. Additionally or alternatively, blanks, which were previously powder-coated in the powder primer 21, can be transferred to the conveyor 60 via the handling device 58.
- the parts pass to a further handling device 64, which in turn is preferably designed as a robot.
- the handling device 64 the parts can be transferred to a further conveyor 66, which is also preferably designed as a spindle conveyor or floor conveyor.
- the conveyor 66 the parts are conveyed through a dryer 68 for baking the acrylate powder coating and finally through a subsequent cooling zone 70. Thereafter, the finished treated normal rims or special rims are removed and transferred, for example, to the final inspection.
- the device 10 according to the invention is controlled by a total electronic control, which is indicated only schematically at 19.
- the pretreatment device 11, IIa, IIb, the powder primer 21, the basecoat application device 45 and the end coating device 61 cooperate in such a way that a spindle synchronous operation of the entire system is ensured.
- There are no duplicates because (apart from the possible use of a Power & Free conveyor in the pretreatment facilities) no buffers are provided. Rims can only go through the entire system within a given standard cycle. Since the final coating device 61 is used both for the final coating of blanks and for the final coating of special blanks, this results in a more compact design of the overall system and a more intensive use.
- the conveyors 60 and 66 are designed for the maximum throughput of the entire system, eg for 600 blanks per hour.
- the conveyors 22, 30 and 56 are usually designed for a lower throughput, for example, for 400 blanks per hour. This allows an additional 200 blanks per hour via the handling device 63 directly from the pretreatment device 11 to the final coating device 61.
- the pretreatment device 11 must be designed for a correspondingly high throughput in order to ensure both the pretreatment of the unmachined parts and the special raw parts.
- FIG. 2 shows a detail of the pretreatment device 11 according to FIG. 1.
- the pretreatment device 11 has a common conveyor 18, which may be designed approximately in the form of a circular conveyor.
- the conveyor 18 conveys parts to be treated, which may be blanks 74 or special blanks 76, through various zones of a common spray tunnel 12.
- the various zones of the spray tunnel 12 may be selectively activated to provide the appropriate pre-treatment sequence for blanks or blanks perform.
- an injection register 80 may be provided in a first injection zone 78, which may be fed either from a first container 86 via a first circuit 82 or from a second container 88 via a second circuit 84. It may therefore be an example of the pretreatment step "Dekapieren 1" or "Dekapieren 2", depending on which of the two circuits 82, 84 is activated by opening the corresponding valves.
- a subsequent injection zone 90 is shown with an injection register 92, which in turn is fed via a corresponding circuit from a third container 94.
- suitable pretreatment steps for the pretreatment of blanks and for the pretreatment of special blanks can be carried out.
- the structure is relatively simple and inexpensive, since only a single conveyor and a single injection tunnel are required.
- a separate pre-treatment of the blanks and the special blanks is recommended, for which purpose separate spray tunnels 12a and 12b are provided as shown in FIG.
- Each spray tunnel 12a or 12b is traversed by its own conveyor 18a and 18b, which are further guided by a common dryer 14 and a common cooling zone 16.
- the first injection tunnel 12a is traversed by special blanks, while the second injection tunnel 12b is run through by blanks.
- pre-treatment steps which are carried out for blanks and special blanks together, which is indicated at 13.
- treatment steps that are performed separately for the blanks and special blanks, which is indicated at 15.
- pre-treatment steps e.g., pre-cleaning
- the blanks or special blanks can, as indicated by the arrows, be taken over by means of the associated handling devices and transferred to either the powder primer 21 or the end coating device 61 according to FIG.
- a further variant of a pretreatment device is shown and designated overall by IIb.
- a Power & Free conveyor 18c is used both for the guidance of blanks as well as for the guidance of special blanks.
- the Power & Free conveyor 18c passes through a common injection tunnel (see Fig. 2) with switching and a downstream dryer 14 and a cooling zone 16.
- a switch 96 By a switch 96, the conveying path after leaving the cooling zone 16 in a first branch 98 and a second branch 100 divided, which in turn is coupled via a switch 97.
- the first branch 98 blanks are performed, which are intended for subsequent transfer to the powder primer 21.
- the first branch 98 is a buffer 99 for pretreated blanks.
- a second buffer 101 is provided in the second branch 100, which is intended for pretreated special billets that can be delivered directly to the final coating device 61. Since the Power & Free conveyor, unlike a circular conveyor, does not have to be synchronized, it can be clocked and coupled with buffers 99 and 101, respectively. However, in this case too, the conveyors 22, 30, 56, 60, 66 are spindle-synchronized in order to ensure an orderly passage of parts through the entire system.
- FIG. 5 shows by way of example a product carrier 102 in the form of a suspension on a circular conveyor 18.
- the product carrier 102 preferably has a plurality of receiving spaces for receiving rims.
- two receiving spaces 104, 105 for blanks 74 are shown here, which can be received standing on the receiving spaces. While a blank 74 is located on the receiving space 104, the receiving space 105 is free and thus enables the picking up of a special blank 76 without adversely affecting the spindle-synchronous operation of the conveyor 18.
- additional capacity of the device 10 for the treatment of special rims can be provided on the individual product carriers of the conveyor 18 and other receiving stations and / or there are additional product carriers on the conveyor provided to record in addition to blanks special blanks.
- FIG. 6 shows by way of example a product carrier 106 accommodated in a bottom conveyor 22 in the form of a spindle.
- the product carrier 106 protrudes upward from the bottom conveyor 22 and has a support surface 108 on which a blank 74 is received lying.
- a recording of special blanks 76 in addition to blanks 74 a corresponding additional number of product carriers 106 must be provided on the bottom conveyor.
- the rims treated according to the invention are all alloy wheels, which consist predominantly of an aluminum alloy or optionally of a magnesium alloy or titanium alloy. It goes without saying that the stations or method steps specified here of the individual treatment devices, such as the pretreatment device, the powder primer device, the clearcoat device and the final coating device, are merely exemplary and can be supplemented or reduced, as is basically known in the prior art.
