Definitions
- the invention relates to a zone of a coating system and a coating system with such zones.
- these are painting zones or other zones of a system for the serial coating of application objects, such as vehicle bodies or their attachments using robots including painting or other application robots, other manipulators, for example, for additional equipment and / or handling robots such as Door or hood openers.
- increased-mounted robots may have the advantage of less disturbing the airflow flowing down from the cabin ceiling along the body sides into the cabin floor than the robots located on the floor adjacent to the body, which narrow the airway directly to the body, causing undesirable elevation the flow velocity can lead.
- a painting system known from WO 2004/037430 A1 several painting robots each are located on two parallel guide rails, which in turn are mounted on a frame frame arranged in the interior of the cabin with four legs connected to one another by transverse struts, similar to the known gantry robot constructions.
- Varnishing booths for vehicle bodies with robot guide rails mounted vertically one above the other on the car walls and with several painting zones arranged one behind the other along the transport path of the conveyor are known from EP 0 745 429 A1.
- the side walls of the paint booth extend from their upper ceiling wall vertically down to the floor level. Since the paint booth, including the accessible control areas, must not be too wide with regard to the construction and investment costs, this results in principle disadvantages of the known painting zones. Firstly, the space available for the control areas is undesirably narrow. On the other hand, given the overall width and magnification of the control areas, the paths for the airflow flowing downwardly from the ceiling wall in the cabin would undesirably be narrowed.
- the object of the invention is the creation of a coating or other zone of a coating system or a plant with several such zones, in which the accessibility of the application object by the robot (s) is further improved.
- the zones should be characterized by good space utilization with the best possible air flow and low construction costs.
- the guide rail is arranged obliquely in the conveying direction, preferably with an adjustable angle of inclination, so that the robot depending on the setting and its respective position in the rail longitudinal direction can be located differently high next to or above the body or the other application object. This also improves the accessibility of the object.
- a coating zone on one or, preferably, both sides of the conveying path at the level of elevated robot guide rails has an upper walk-on control area separated from the interior of the coating zone by sloping side walls, thereby increasing the interior space at that area progressively narrower.
- a significant advantage of the arrangement of the control devices in the vicinity of the robots controlled by them are the correspondingly short hose and line connections.
- the side walls preferably have an oblique course only at the upper accessible control area, whereas they may extend vertically upwards over the upper edge of the application objects, for example up to the lower accessible control area, ie at the (typically latticed) floor of the coating zone upper tax area.
- an undesirably large overall width of the coating zone in the bottom area is avoided.
- the lower walk-on control area on at least one side of the conveyor can be used, for example, to observe the coating process without blindness by robots and for maintenance etc.
- further guide rails for additional robots on the side of the coating zone on one or preferably on both sides of the conveyor at the bottom of the coating zone or in the vicinity of the bottom plane.
- the guide rails can be arranged on each side of the coating zone at such a distance one above the other, that the respective robots can pass each other in the longitudinal direction parallel to the conveying path.
- more than two guide rails can be provided on one or each side, in particular at different heights, ie in three or more vertically spaced-apart planes.
- a plurality of robots on the guide rails eg including painting and handling robots
- mount on one or both sides of the coating zone and the conveyor one or more spaced-apart guide rail assemblies, each containing more than one rail and constructed so as to be mounted on the different, spatially offset ones Rails one and the same guide rail assembly movable robots can pass each other in the direction parallel to the transport path of the conveyor direction.
- the rails mentioned in connection with the present application can advantageously also be used for robots for auxiliary devices which can be moved on them, in addition to
- Application robots with atomizers (applicators) and / or to handling robots (handlers) may be present.
- additional devices are any treatment devices including mobile dryers that can irradiate the application objects for drying with IR or UV radiation in a conventional manner, as well as cleaning devices and in particular probes and measuring devices, as they are for measuring coating results and layer quality features such Layer thickness, "wave scan", color, gloss, light speed, etc. and for detecting coating defects are known and customary.
- the measurements can be made online, also for on-line quality measurement with possibly automatic error correction for subsequent application objects, for example according to EP 0 874 213 B1 or EP 1 176 388 A2.
- the accessories may be located in a coating booth or in a separate repair or control zone, where they then od without application robot or door opener. Like. could be arranged on the mentioned guide rails.
- the accessories may be conveniently mounted on their own robots or with the help of interchangeable heads on universally serving as a carrier for different devices such as atomizers, dryers, measuring systems, etc. robots. If the additional devices are located in a coating zone, they can be moved on the rails of the application and / or handling robots provided there, or instead on their own rails, which can be offset in height against the rails of the application or handling rotors.
- robot as used herein is to be understood generally in terms of a freely programmable multi-axis automatic machine, preferably in articulated arm construction with at least six rotary axes (three main axes and three hand axes), wherein the main body of the successive axes of movement as a carriage on one of the rails considered here movable
- the side walls themselves may be supported on or under the floor of the zone or on the ceiling wall, so that the side walls themselves do not have to perform a supporting function and can be designed according to simple and, for example, for monitoring the coating process to a large extent in the lower area transparent.
- These support elements must therefore not be part of the actual side wall, but may be removed from the side wall and / or transversely to the
- Transport path (preferably in a direction parallel to the ground plane) extend away from the side wall.
- the support structures preferably have (in contrast to the transverse struts of the portal construction according to the aforementioned WO 2004/037430) no support elements which extend over the top of the application objects such as vehicle bodies, but below the ceiling wall through the interior of the coating zone and the vertical airflow interfere with the mung of the cabin and / or could be contaminated by adhering to them and redissolving color or other particles, the application objects.
- these support structures are structurally combined with the supporting or stiffening elements of the dividing walls ("silhouettes") which are required and customary per se at the inlet and / or outlet ends of the individual coating zones.
- the purpose of these partitions arranged transversely to the conveying path may be e.g. consist of isolating a plurality of coating zones, each with a different air balance, arranged one behind the other in a paint booth, such as a zone for electrostatic application with rotary atomizers from a zone for air atomizers in which different air sinking speeds are required, air mixture and cross flows between the zones must be avoided if possible ,
- the transverse walls have safety features for personal protection.
- a stiffening structure of the partition walls can also serve as a support or support structure for the robot guide rails.
- the support or support structures of the rails may thus be an integral part of a stiffening of the partitions, or conversely, the stiffeners of the partitions may be an integral part of the support or support structures of the guide rails.
