Definitions
- the document FR 2 912 072 described method and apparatus for thermally coating a substrate.
- a powder sprayer directs a jet of powder at the substrate.
- the powder spray device generates a flame, which heats the substrate. This is undesirable in many cases. Therefore, a nozzle is provided, from which CO 2 pellets are sprayed onto the substrate. This prevents a rise in temperature.
- Object of the present invention is to provide a system of the type mentioned, in which the cleaning of the application unit and adjacent areas with less effort on materials and manual work can be done largely automated.
- the cleaning of the outer surfaces of the application unit can be fully automated in a similar manner, as has already been possible for the cleaning of the inner flow paths of the application device with solvent.
- the total cleaning of the application units in the coating booth can be carried out in a much shorter time without the use of workers; entering the coating booth is generally no longer necessary.
- the required movements of application unit and / or nozzle are effected in interaction between the central system control and, if necessary, the individual controls associated with the handling devices and / or the cleaning devices.
- the invention reduces the consumption of chemicals, which at the same time reduces disposal costs.
- the mission of a protective film is eliminated, which on the one hand the eliminates the production stops caused by this and, on the other hand, no longer exposes the assigned worker to the atmosphere in the coating booth. Cleaning with the help of CO 2 snow can also take place in sensitive areas where the otherwise used cleaning agent can not be used.
- the used for cleaning CO 2 can come from conventional sources, such as pressure bottles, which are connected to the supply system; Alternatively, the tank of the central supply unit can also be connected directly to a CO 2 recovery or supply system.
- the tank for storage of liquid or solid CO 2 may be formed.
- Solid CO 2 can already be present in the tank in the form of pellets, which can be transported by means of a corresponding air flow through the manifold.
- the solid CO 2 is in the form of a block and that a crusher is provided which is capable of rasping small parts from the block.
- the loss of CO 2 by sublimation is smaller than in the storage of pellets.
- the header preferably comprises a liquid CO 2 line and a pressurized air line and is connected to at least one two-component nozzle for producing CO 2 snow.
- the CO 2 snow thus arises only at the exit from the corresponding nozzle.
- the nozzle of the cleaning device can be pivotably mounted on a holder, for which purpose a corresponding drive, motor or pneumatic, will generally be provided. In this way, part of the required relative movement between the nozzle and the application unit can take place by movement of the nozzle.
- the cleaning device preferably comprises a plurality of nozzles, from which the application unit can be acted upon from different angles.
- the use of multiple nozzles reduces the amount of relative movement between nozzle and application unit required to clean all surface areas.
- the collecting line is connected to at least one removal point, to which a manual cleaning device can be connected.
- This manual cleaning device is exceptionally used when the automatic cleaning of the application unit by the cleaning device is not sufficient, or for cleaning other surfaces within the coating booth on which a precipitate has formed.
- the cleaning device has an enclosure which has at least one opening through which the application unit can be introduced into the interior of the enclosure. In this way, the cleaning process is largely shielded from the other areas of the coating booth.
- the cleaning device has a closed space in which the discharge end of the application unit for flushing the inner Flow paths with solvent can be introduced through an opening. In this way, the cleaning of the outer surface can take place substantially simultaneously with the cleaning of the inner flow paths of the application unit, so that the downtime of the system can be further reduced.

Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Anlage zum Beschichten, insbesondere Lackieren, von Gegenständen, insbesondere von Fahrzeugkarosserien, mit
- a) einer Beschichtungskabine;
- b) einem Fördersystem, welches die zu beschichtenden Gegenstände durch die Beschichtungskabine führt;
- c) mindestens einer Applikationseinheit für das Beschichtungsmedium;
- d) mindestens einem Handhabungsgerät, insbesondere Roboter, das die Applikationseinheit trägt und führt.
- a) a coating booth;
- b) a conveyor system which guides the articles to be coated through the coating booth;
- c) at least one application unit for the coating medium;
- d) at least one handling device, in particular robot, which carries and guides the application unit.
Beim automatischen Beschichten von Gegenständen, insbesondere beim Lackieren von Fahrzeugkarosserien, gelangt nicht das gesamte aus den Applikationseinheiten austretende Beschichtungsmedium auf den zu beschichtenden Gegenstand. Vielmehr entsteht sogenannter "Overspray", der zum größeren Teil mit Hilfe eines Luftstromes aus der Beschichtungskabine ausgetragen wird und sich zu einem kleineren Teil auf inneren Flächen der Beschichtungskabine, bevorzugt aber auf den Außenflächen der Applikationseinheiten und den benachbarten Bereichen des Handhabungsgeräts, niederschlägt. Diese Außenflächen müssen in regelmäßigen Abständen von den Niederschlägen befreit werden.When automatically coating objects, in particular when painting vehicle bodies, not all of the coating medium emerging from the application units reaches the object to be coated. Rather, so-called "overspray" arises, which is discharged to a greater extent with the aid of an air flow from the coating booth and is reflected to a lesser extent on inner surfaces of the coating booth, but preferably on the outer surfaces of the application units and the adjacent areas of the manipulator. These external surfaces must be freed of precipitation at regular intervals.
Um dies zu erleichtern, wird bisher in der Praxis häufig die Außenfläche der Applikationseinheit von dem Zerstäuberbereich bis hin zu ihrem Befestigungsort an dem Handhabungsgerät, bei einem Lackierroboter also zum Beispiel zum Handgelenk, mit einem Schutzfilm aus beispielsweise Vaseline versehen. Dieser muss dann von Zeit zu Zeit manuell entfernt und zusammen mit dem niedergeschlagenen Lack entsorgt werden.To facilitate this, is so far common in practice the outer surface of the application unit of the atomizer area up to its mounting location on the handling device, in a painting robot so for example to the wrist, provided with a protective film of, for example Vaseline. This must then be removed manually from time to time and disposed of together with the deposited paint.
Bekannt ist in anderen Gebieten der Technik, Flächen mit Hilfe von CO2 zu reinigen. Dies hat den Vorteil, dass die abgereinigten Flächen nicht zusätzlich getrocknet werden müssen, da das zum Trocknen eingesetzte CO2 durch Sublimation direkt in die Gasform übergeht.It is known in other fields of technology to clean surfaces with the help of CO 2 . This has the advantage that the cleaned-up areas do not have to be additionally dried, since the CO 2 used for drying passes directly into the gaseous form by sublimation.

Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es, eine Anlage der eingangs genannten Art zu schaffen, bei welcher die Reinigung der Applikationseinheit und benachbarter Bereiche mit geringerem Aufwand an Materialien und manueller Arbeit weitestgehend automatisiert erfolgen kann.Object of the present invention is to provide a system of the type mentioned, in which the cleaning of the application unit and adjacent areas with less effort on materials and manual work can be done largely automated.
Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, dass die Anlage umfasst:
- e) mindestens ein Reinigungsgerät, das mindestens eine Düse aufweist, aus welcher CO2 in zu Reinigungszwecken geeigneter Form, inbesondere als CO2-Schnee oder in der Form von Pellets, austreten und auf die zu reinigenden Flächen der Applikationseinheit und gegebenenfalls benachbarte Bereiche des Handhabungsgeräts aufgebracht werden kann;
- f) einen Tank zur Bevorratung von CO2 in flüssiger oder fester Form;
- g) eine zentrale Versorgungseinheit, die ihrerseits Fördermittel aufweist, welche in der Lage sind, CO2 aus dem Tank zu entnehmen und mit einem zur Weiterbeförderung geeigneten Druck bereitzustellen;
- h) eine Sammelleitung, welche mit der Versorgungseinheit verbunden ist und an die mindestens ein Reinigungsgerät angeschlossen ist;
- i) programmgesteuert eine Relativbewegung zwischen der Düse und der Applikationseinheit herbeigeführt werden kann, derart, dass alle zu reinigenden Flächen der Applikationseinheit von dem aus der Düse austretenden CO2 erreicht werden können.
- e) at least one cleaning device having at least one nozzle, from which CO 2 in suitable form for cleaning purposes, in particular as CO 2 snow or in the form of pellets, and on the surfaces to be cleaned of the application unit and optionally adjacent areas of the handling device can be applied;
- f) a tank for storing CO 2 in liquid or solid form;
- g) a central supply unit, which in turn Conveying means which are able to remove CO 2 from the tank and provide with a pressure suitable for further transport;
- h) a manifold, which is connected to the supply unit and to which at least one cleaning device is connected;
- i) programmatically a relative movement between the nozzle and the application unit can be brought about, such that all surfaces of the application unit to be cleaned can be reached by the CO 2 emerging from the nozzle.
Mit der vorliegenden Erfindung kann die Reinigung der Außenflächen der Applikationseinheit in ähnlicher Weise voll automatisiert werden, wie dies bisher schon für die Reinigung der inneren Strömungswege der Applikationseinrichtung mit Lösemittel möglich ist. So lässt sich die Gesamtreinigung der Applikationseinheiten in der Beschichtungskabine in sehr viel kürzerer Zeit ohne Einsatz von Werkern durchführen; ein Betreten der Beschichtungskabine ist im Allgemeinen nicht mehr erforderlich. Die erforderlichen Bewegungen von Applikationseinheit und/oder Düse werden dabei im Zusammenspiel zwischen der zentralen Anlagensteuerung und ggfs. den den Handhabungsgeräten und/ oder den Reinigungsgeräten zugeordneten individuellen Steuerungen bewirkt.With the present invention, the cleaning of the outer surfaces of the application unit can be fully automated in a similar manner, as has already been possible for the cleaning of the inner flow paths of the application device with solvent. Thus, the total cleaning of the application units in the coating booth can be carried out in a much shorter time without the use of workers; entering the coating booth is generally no longer necessary. The required movements of application unit and / or nozzle are effected in interaction between the central system control and, if necessary, the individual controls associated with the handling devices and / or the cleaning devices.
Verglichen mit dem Einsatz von Schutzfilmen wird durch die Erfindung der Verbrauch an Chemikalien reduziert, wodurch gleichzeitig die Entsorgungskosten sinken. Der Auftrag eines Schutzfilmes entfällt, was zum einen die dadurch verursachten Produktionsstops beseitigt und zum anderen den hiermit beauftragten Werker nicht mehr der Atmosphäre in der Beschichtungskabine aussetzt. Die Reinigung mit Hilfe von CO2-Schnee kann auch an empfindlichen Stellen, wo das sonst verwendete Reinigungsmittel nicht eingesetzt werden kann, erfolgen.Compared with the use of protective films, the invention reduces the consumption of chemicals, which at the same time reduces disposal costs. The mission of a protective film is eliminated, which on the one hand the eliminates the production stops caused by this and, on the other hand, no longer exposes the assigned worker to the atmosphere in the coating booth. Cleaning with the help of CO 2 snow can also take place in sensitive areas where the otherwise used cleaning agent can not be used.
Das zur Reinigung eingesetzte CO2 kann aus herkömmlichen Quellen, beispielsweise aus Druckflaschen, stammen, die mit der Versorgungsanlage verbunden sind; alternativ kann der Tank der zentralen Versorgungseinheit auch direkt mit einer CO2-Rückgewinnungs oder Versorgungsanlage verbunden sein.The used for cleaning CO 2 can come from conventional sources, such as pressure bottles, which are connected to the supply system; Alternatively, the tank of the central supply unit can also be connected directly to a CO 2 recovery or supply system.
Je nach der Form des auf die zu reinigenden Flächen aufzubringenden CO2 kann der Tank zur Aufbewahrung von flüssigem oder von festem CO2 ausgebildet sein. Festes CO2 kann in dem Tank schon in Form von Pellets vorliegen, die mit Hilfe einer entsprechenden Luftströmung durch die Sammelleitung befördert werden können.Depending on the shape of the applied to the surfaces to be cleaned CO 2 , the tank for storage of liquid or solid CO 2 may be formed. Solid CO 2 can already be present in the tank in the form of pellets, which can be transported by means of a corresponding air flow through the manifold.
Alternativ ist es auch möglich, dass das feste CO2 in Form eines Blocks vorliegt und dass eine Zerkleinerungseinrichtung vorgesehen ist, welche in der Lage ist, von dem Block kleine Teile abzuraspeln. Bei dieser Ausgestaltung ist der Verlust von CO2 durch Sublimation kleiner als bei der Bevorratung von Pellets.Alternatively, it is also possible that the solid CO 2 is in the form of a block and that a crusher is provided which is capable of rasping small parts from the block. In this embodiment, the loss of CO 2 by sublimation is smaller than in the storage of pellets.
Wird flüssiges CO2 verwendet, so umfasst die Sammelleitung vorzugsweise eine Leitung für flüssiges CO2 und eine Leitung für Zerstäubungsdruckluft und ist mit mindestens einer Zweikomponenten-Düse zur Erzeugung von CO2-Schnee verbunden. Der CO2-Schnee entsteht also erst beim Austritt aus der entsprechenden Düse.When liquid CO 2 is used, the header preferably comprises a liquid CO 2 line and a pressurized air line and is connected to at least one two-component nozzle for producing CO 2 snow. The CO 2 snow thus arises only at the exit from the corresponding nozzle.
Die Düse des Reinigungsgeräts kann an einem Halter verschwenkbar befestigt sein, wozu im Allgemeinen ein entsprechender Antrieb, motorisch oder pneumatisch, vorgesehen sein wird. Auf diese Weise kann ein Teil der erforderlichen Relativbewegung zwischen der Düse und der Applikationseinsheit durch Bewegung der Düse stattfinden.The nozzle of the cleaning device can be pivotably mounted on a holder, for which purpose a corresponding drive, motor or pneumatic, will generally be provided. In this way, part of the required relative movement between the nozzle and the application unit can take place by movement of the nozzle.
Das Reinigungsgerät umfasst vorzugsweise mehrere Düsen, aus welchen die Applikationseinheit aus unterschiedlichen Winkeln beaufschlagt werden kann. Die Verwendung mehrerer Düsen reduziert das Ausmaß der Relativbewegung zwischen Düse und Applikationseinheit, die zur Reinigung aller Oberflächenbereiche erforderlich ist.The cleaning device preferably comprises a plurality of nozzles, from which the application unit can be acted upon from different angles. The use of multiple nozzles reduces the amount of relative movement between nozzle and application unit required to clean all surface areas.
Zweckmäßig ist ferner, wenn die Sammelleitung mit mindestens einer Entnahmestelle verbunden ist, an welcher ein manuelles Reinigungsgerät angeschlossen werden kann. Dieses manuelle Reinigungsgerät wird ausnahmsweise dann eingesetzt, wenn die automatische Reinigung der Applikationseinheit durch das Reinigungsgerät nicht ausreicht, oder zum Reinigen von anderen Flächen innerhalb der Beschichtungskabine, an denen sich ein Niederschlag gebildet hat.It is also expedient if the collecting line is connected to at least one removal point, to which a manual cleaning device can be connected. This manual cleaning device is exceptionally used when the automatic cleaning of the application unit by the cleaning device is not sufficient, or for cleaning other surfaces within the coating booth on which a precipitate has formed.
Bei einer vorteilhaften Ausführungsform der Erfindung weist das Reinigungsgerät eine Einhausung auf, die mindestens eine Öffnung besitzt, durch welche die Applikationseinheit ins Innere der Einhausung eingeführt werden kann. Auf diese Weise ist der Reinigungsprozess weitgehend abgeschirmt von den anderen Bereichen der Beschichtungskabine.In an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the cleaning device has an enclosure which has at least one opening through which the application unit can be introduced into the interior of the enclosure. In this way, the cleaning process is largely shielded from the other areas of the coating booth.
Zweckmäßig ist schließlich, wenn das Reinigungsgerät einen abgeschlossenen Raum aufweist, in welchen das Abgabeende der Applikationseinheit zur Spülung der inneren Strömungswege mit Lösemittel durch eine Öffnung eingeführt werden kann. Auf diese Weise kann das Abreinigen der äußeren Fläche im Wesentlichen gleichzeitig mit der Reinigung der inneren Strömungswege der Applikationseinheit stattfinden, so dass die Stillstandszeiten der Anlage weiter reduziert werden können.Finally, it is useful if the cleaning device has a closed space in which the discharge end of the application unit for flushing the inner Flow paths with solvent can be introduced through an opening. In this way, the cleaning of the outer surface can take place substantially simultaneously with the cleaning of the inner flow paths of the application unit, so that the downtime of the system can be further reduced.

Zunächst wird auf die
Die zu lackierenden Gegenstände 4, die in der Zeichnung schematisch als Rechtecke dargestellt sind und bei denen es sich insbesondere um Fahrzeugkarosserien oder Teile hiervon handeln kann, werden mit Hilfe eines Fördersystemes 5 in einer kontinuierlichen oder intermittierenden Bewegung durch den Innenraum der Lackierkabine 1 geführt, beispielsweise in
Beidseits des Bewegungsweges der Gegenstände 4 auf dem Fördersystem 5 sind Lackierroboter 6, 7 angeordnet. Auch hier können unterschiedliche Bauweisen eingesetzt sein. Nur beispielhaft sind insgesamt vier Knickarmroboter 6 vorgesehen, von denen jeweils zwei auf einer Seite des Bewegungsweges der Gegenstände 4 angeordnet sind, sowie zwei Industrieroboter 7, von denen jeweils einer auf einer Seite des Bewegungsweges angeordnet ist. Beide Roboterarten haben gemeinsam, dass sie einen beweglichen Roboterarm 6a bzw. 7a besitzen, an deren Ende jeweils eine Applikationseinheit 8 bzw. 9 getragen ist. Jede dieser Applikationseinheiten 8, 9 umfasst den eigentlichen Applikator, bei dem es sich insbesondere um Sprühpistolen und/oder Hochrotationszerstäuber handeln kann.On both sides of the path of movement of the
Entlang der Seitenwände 2 der Lackierkabine 1 ist eine Mehrzahl von Reinigungsstationen 10, 11 vorgesehen, die schematisch als Rechtecke gezeigt sind. Den Reinigungsstationen 10, 11 ist gemeinsam, dass sie mindestens eine Düse enthalten, aus denen CO2 in Form von festen Pellets oder Schnee austreten kann. Einzelheiten über mögliche Bauweisen derartiger Reinigungsstationen 10, 11 werden weiter unten anhand der
An der in
Alle Entnahmestationen 10, 11, 12 sind über Zweigleitungen, die der Übersichtlichkeit halber nicht mit Bezugszeichen versehen sind, mit einer Sammelleitung 13 verbunden.All
Diese führt zu einer zentralen Versorgungseinheit 14, die beim Ausführungsbeispiel der
Letztere umfasst außerdem einen Tank 14b, in welchem das zur Reinigung eingesetzte CO2 in Form von Pellets oder in flüssiger Form auf Vorrat gehalten wird. Statt Pellets kann auch ein großer fester CO2-Block eingesetzt werden, von dem dann kleinere feste Teilchen in zum Transport durch Leitungen geeigneter Größe nach Bedarf abgeraspelt werden.The latter also comprises a tank 14b in which the CO 2 used for cleaning is kept in the form of pellets or in liquid form. Instead of pellets, it is also possible to use a large solid CO 2 block, from which smaller solid particles are then shredded as required for transport through lines of suitable size.
Der Tank 14b steht über eine Leitung 15 mit einer externen CO2-Quelle in Verbindung. Dabei kann es sich um herkömmliche Druckflasche oder jede andere Quelle von CO2 handeln. Wenn gasförmiges CO2 zugeführt wird, müssen in der zentralen Versorgungseinheit 14 selbstverständlich auch die zur Verflüssigung oder Verfestigung erforderlichen Aggregate und Einrichtungen vorhanden sein.The tank 14b is connected via a
Die Reinigungsstationen 10, 11 besitzen eine Einhausung 16, die eine solche Öffnung aufweist, dass die Applikationseinheiten 8, 9 von den zugehörigen Robotern 6, 7 in den Innenraum des entsprechenden Reinigungsgerätes 10, 11 eingeführt werden kann. Dies bedeutet im Allgemeinen eine Öffnung nach oben und gegebenenfalls auch zu mindestens einer Seite hin. Beispiele hierfür werden weiter unten beschrieben.The cleaning
Die oben beschriebene Lackierkabine 1 arbeitet wie folgt:
- Der normale Lackiervorgang läuft in üblicher Weise ab:
- Die zu lackierenden und entsprechend vorbereiteten Gegenstände 4 werden mit Hilfe des Fördersystems 5 in
Figur 1 von links kommend zugeführt und geraten dabei in den Bereich der 6, 7von den Robotern geführten Applikationseinrichtungen 8 bzw. 9. Nach vorgegebenen Bewegungsprogrammen unter dem Kommando der Anlagensteuerung und der individuellen Robotersteuerungen werden dieGegenstände 4aus den Applikationseinheiten 8, 9 mit Lack besprüht. Wenn sie die Lackierkabine 1 inFigur 1 nach rechts verlassen, sind sie vollständig lackiert oder zumindest ist eine Lackierphase abgeschlossen.
- Die zu lackierenden und entsprechend vorbereiteten Gegenstände 4 werden mit Hilfe des Fördersystems 5 in
- The normal painting process takes place in the usual way:
- The
objects 4 to be painted and prepared accordingly are conveyed by means of theconveyor system 5 in FIGFIG. 1 Coming from the left supplied and fall into the range of guided by the 6, 7robots application devices 8 and 9. After predetermined movement programs under the command of the system control and the individual robot controls theobjects 4 are sprayed from theapplication units 8, 9 with paint. If you have the paint booth 1 inFIG. 1 left to the right, they are completely painted or at least a painting phase is completed.
- The
Der beim Lackiervorgang entstehende Overspray wird im Wesentlichen von dem Luftstrom mitgenommen, der die Lackierkabine 1 von oben nach unten, ausgehend von dem oben schon erwähnten Luftplenum, und durch den den Boden der Lackierkabine 1 bildenden Gitterrost 3 strömt. Ein Teil des Oversprays schlägt sich jedoch auf den Außenflächen der Roboterarme 6a, 7a und der Applikationseinheiten 8, 9 nieder. Von dort müssen sie in bestimmten Abständen, je nach Verschmutzungsgrad, wieder entfernt werden. Dies geschieht nunmehr in folgender Weise:
- Es sei angenommen, dass der Tank 14b der zentralen Versorgungseinheit 14 über die Leitung 15 mit flüssigem CO2 gefüllt ist.
Der Bereich 14a der zentralen Versorgungseinheit 14 hat dieSammelleitung 13 mit den erforderlichen flüssigen CO2 und Zerstäubungsdruckluft gefüllt. In diesem Falleumfasst die Sammelleitung 13 getrennte Einzelleitungen, die bis zur jeweiligen Entnahmestelle 10, 11, 12 führen. Flüssiges CO2 bzw. Zerstäubungsdruckluft steht nunmehr an 10, 11, 12 an. Zum Reinigen werden nunmehr diediesen Entnahmestationen Applikationseinheiten 8, 9 und die diesen benachbarten Bereiche der Roboterarme 6a, 7a durch die oben schon erwähnten Öffnungen hindurch wieder programmgesteuert in dieEinhausungen der Reinigungsstationen 10, 11 eingeführt.
- It is assumed that the tank 14b of the
central supply unit 14 is filled vialine 15 with liquid CO 2 . Thearea 14a of thecentral supply unit 14 has filled the collectingline 13 with the required liquid CO 2 and atomizing compressed air. In this case, the manifold 13 comprises separate individual lines that lead to the 10, 11, 12. Liquid CO 2 or atomizing compressed air is now at theserespective removal point 10, 11, 12 at. For cleaning, theremoval stations application units 8, 9 and the regions of therobot arms 6a, 7a adjacent to them are now again introduced into the housings of the cleaningstations 10, 11 through the openings already mentioned above.
Nunmehr werden die dortigen Ventile geöffnet, so dass flüssiges CO2 und Zerstäubungsdruckluft in die entsprechenden Zweikomponenten-Düsen einströmen und dort CO2-Schnee bilden können. Mit diesem Schnee werden die Oberflächenbereiche der Applikationseinheiten 8, 9 und der benachbarten Bereiche der Roboterarme 6a, 7a, soweit sie verschmutzt sind, beaufschlagt. Dabei können die Düsen, wie unten näher erläutert wird, motorisch erneut programmgesteuert verschwenkt werden, um alle zu reinigenden Oberflächen zu erreichen. Die Verschmutzungen lösen sich dabei, wie dies an und für sich von CO2-Reinigungverfahren bekannt ist.Now, the local valves are opened so that liquid CO 2 and atomizing compressed air can flow into the corresponding two-component nozzles and form CO 2 snow there. With this snow, the surface areas of the
Die Applikationseinheiten 8, 9 werden sodann mit Hilfe der zugehörigen Roboterarme 6a, 7a wieder aus den Einhausungen der Reinigungsstationen 10, 11 herausbewegt; verbleibende, nicht vollständig gereinigte Oberflächen können mit Hilfe der manuellen Reinigungsgeräte 11a, 12 bei Bedarf nachgereinigt werden.The
Sodann kann der Lackierbetrieb unverzüglich wieder aufgenommen werden, ohne dass es einer Trocknung oder sonstigen Nachbehandlung der von Lack gereinigten Oberflächenbereiche von Applikationseinheiten 8, 9 oder benachbarten Bereichen der Roboterarme 6a, 7a bedürfte.Then, the painting operation can be resumed immediately without the need for drying or other aftertreatment of the surface areas of

Zum Reinigen wird die Applikationseinheit 108 mit ihrem vordersten, den eigentlichen Zerstäubungsbereich 108a aufweisenden Ende voraus durch die Öffnung 128 in den Kasten 127 eingeführt. Während die Außenflächen der Applikationseinheit 108 mittels der Zweikomponenten-Düse 120 in der oben schon geschilderten Weise gereinigt werden, werden die inneren Strömungswege der Applikationseinheit 108 durch Lösemittel gereinigt, das über den Zerstäubungsbereich 128a in den Innenraum des Kastens 127 ausgesprüht und letztendlich über die Ablassöffnung 126 entfernt wird. Auf diese Weise werden die äußeren Flächen gleichzeitig mit den inneren Strömungswegen der Applikationseinheit 108 gereinigt.For cleaning, the

Bei der obigen Beschreibung der verschiedenen Ausführungsbeispiele von Reinigungsgeräten 10, 11; 110; 211; 311 wurde eine Reinigung mit CO2-Schnee angenommen. Der Reinigungsprozess läuft aber im Wesentlichen in derselben Weise ein, wenn statt CO2-Schnee CO2-Pellets verwendet werden. Diese werden mit Hilfe von Transportluft durch die Versorgungsleitung 13 zu den verschiedenen Entnahmestellen 10, 11, 12 geführt. Ihre Reinigungswirkung ist aufgrund des mechanischen Aufpralls der Pellets auf die zu reinigenden Flächen in bekannter Weise etwas größer; die Reinigung mittels CO2-Schaum ist dagegen schonender.In the above description of the various embodiments of cleaning
