Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Beschichtungsanlage und ein Beschichtungsverfahren anzugeben, welche auch bei kleineren Teilen eine besonders wirtschaftliche Beschichtung ermöglichen.The invention has for its object to provide a coating system and a coating method, which allow even for smaller parts a particularly economical coating.
Die Erfindung wird zum einen durch eine Beschichtungsanlage mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 und zum anderen durch ein Beschichtungsverfahren mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 11 gelöst. Bevorzugte Ausführungsvarianten sind in den abhängigen Ansprüchen angegeben.The invention is achieved, on the one hand, by a coating installation having the features of
Die erfindungsgemäße Beschichtungsanlage ist dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass der Aufnahmedorn zwischen einer horizontalen ersten Arbeitsposition und einer vertikalen zweiten Arbeitsposition verschwenkbar ist, dass der Aufnahmedorn mit dem mindestens einen Werkstück in der Lackierstation in die horizontale Arbeitsposition geschwenkt ist und dass der Aufnahmedorn mit dem mindestens einen Werkstück in der Härtungsstation in die vertikale zweite Arbeitsposition geschwenkt ist.The coating system according to the invention is characterized in that the receiving mandrel is pivotable between a horizontal first working position and a vertical second working position, that the receiving mandrel is pivoted with the at least one workpiece in the painting station in the horizontal working position and that the mandrel with the at least one workpiece in the curing station is pivoted to the vertical second working position.
Ein Grundgedanke der Erfindung liegt darin, das Lackieren von Werkstücken bei einem horizontalen Aufnahmedorn vorzunehmen, während das Aushärten des beschichteten Werkstückes in einer Schutzgaskammer in einer zweiten vertikalen Arbeitsposition durchgeführt wird. Dies erlaubt einerseits ein effektives Lackieren in einer horizontalen Ausrichtung und ein Schutzgas sparendes Aushärten in einer vertikal ausgerichteten Schutzgaskammer. Insbesondere kann der Aufnahmedorn lanzen- oder stangenförmig ausgebildet sein, so dass dieser auch längliche und damit relativ sperrige Werkstücke aufnehmen kann. An dem länglichen Aufnahmedorn können aber auch mehrere Werkstücke mittels entsprechenden Halterungen angebracht sein. Der Aufnahmedorn kann mit der Fördereinrichtung fest oder lösbar über eine Halteeinheit verbunden sein.A basic idea of the invention is to carry out the painting of workpieces in a horizontal mandrel, while the curing of the coated workpiece is carried out in a protective gas chamber in a second vertical working position. This allows on the one hand effective painting in a horizontal orientation and a protective gas-saving curing in a vertically oriented protective gas chamber. In particular, the receiving mandrel may be formed lance or rod-shaped, so that it can also accommodate elongated and thus relatively bulky workpieces. On the elongated mandrel but also several workpieces can be mounted by means of appropriate brackets. The mandrel may be connected to the conveyor fixed or detachable via a holding unit.
Eine bevorzugte Ausführungsform der Erfindung besteht darin, dass die Härtungsstation eine Schutzgaskammer aufweist, welche eine Schutzgasglocke mit einer unteren Zutrittsöffnung umfasst. Diese Anordnung ist insbesondere zur Aufnahme von Schutzgas zweckmäßig, welches leichter als die Umgebungsluft ist. Die Zuführung des Werkstückes erfolgt dabei über eine relative vertikale Hubbewegung zwischen der Schutzgasglocke und dem Werkstück.A preferred embodiment of the invention is that the curing station has a protective gas chamber, which comprises a protective gas bell with a lower access opening. This arrangement is particularly useful for receiving inert gas, which is lighter than the ambient air. The supply of the workpiece takes place via a relative vertical lifting movement between the protective gas bell and the workpiece.
Grundsätzlich kann der Aufnahmedorn mit dem mindestens einen Werkstück in die Schutzgasglocke eingefahren werden. Besonders vorteilhaft ist es nach einer Ausführungsform der Erfindung, dass die Schutzgasglocke zwischen einer unteren Härtungsposition, in welcher der Aufnahmedorn in der vertikalen Arbeitsposition umschlossen ist, und einer oberen Zuführposition vertikal verfahrbar ist, in welcher der Aufnahmedorn in der vertikalen Arbeitsposition unter der Schutzgasglocke positionierbar ist. Der lanzenförmige Aufnahmedorn kann in der Härtungsstation eine vertikale Position einnehmen, in welcher eine geringe Grundfläche benötigt wird. In dieser vertikalen Position wird dann die hülsenförmige Schutzgasglocke, welche Seitenwände und einen geschlossenen Deckenbereich aufweist, vertikal von oben über das Werkstück gefahren, so dass die in der Schutzgasglocke angeordnete Schutzgasatmosphäre das Werkstück umschließt. Zudem kann bei dieser Hubbewegung von oben schädlicher Restsauerstoff nach unten durch die untere Zutrittsöffnung der Schutzgasglocke verdrängt werden. Die Hubbewegung der Schutzgasglocke kann durch einen Hubantrieb, insbesondere einen Stellzylinder, bewirkt werden.In principle, the mandrel can be retracted with the at least one workpiece in the protective gas bell. According to one embodiment of the invention, it is particularly advantageous for the protective gas bell to be vertically movable between a lower hardening position in which the locating mandrel is enclosed in the vertical working position and an upper feed position in which the locating mandrel can be positioned under the protective gas bell in the vertical working position , The lance-shaped mandrel can take a vertical position in the curing station, in which a small footprint is needed. In this vertical position, the sleeve-shaped protective gas bell, which has side walls and a closed ceiling area, is then moved vertically from above over the workpiece, so that the protective gas atmosphere arranged in the protective gas bell encloses the workpiece. In addition, in this stroke movement from above harmful residual oxygen can be displaced down through the lower access opening of the protective gas bell. The lifting movement of the protective gas bell can be effected by a lifting drive, in particular a setting cylinder.
Besonders effizient ist es nach einer weiteren Ausgestaltung der Erfindung, dass die Bestrahlungseinrichtung in oder an der Schutzgasglocke angebracht und mit dieser verfahrbar ist. Die Bestrahlungseinrichtungen sind so an den Seitenwänden und/oder dem Deckenbereich angeordnet, so dass eine hinreichende Bestrahlung der beschichteten Werkstückbereiche gewährleistet ist.According to a further embodiment of the invention, it is particularly efficient that the irradiation device is mounted in or on the protective gas bell and can be moved with it. The irradiation devices are arranged on the side walls and / or the ceiling area, so that a sufficient irradiation of the coated workpiece areas is ensured.
Die Bestrahlungseinrichtung kann eine beliebige Bestrahlungseinrichtung, insbesondere auch eine Heizeinrichtung sein. Besonders bevorzugt ist es nach der Erfindung jedoch, dass die Bestrahlungseinrichtung mindestens einen UV-Strahler umfasst. Diese Bestrahlungseinrichtung ist für UV-aushärtbare Lacke vorgesehen. Diese durch ultraviolettes Licht aushärtbaren Lacke sind seit langem bekannt und werden vielfältig zur effizienten Beschichtung und Lackierung von Werkstücken eingesetzt.The irradiation device can be any irradiation device, in particular also a heating device. However, it is particularly preferred according to the invention that the irradiation device comprises at least one UV emitter. This irradiation device is intended for UV-curable coatings. These ultraviolet light-curable coatings have long been known and are widely used for efficient coating and painting of workpieces.
Eine besonders gute Lackierung und Kompensation des Schwerkrafteinflusses auf die Beschichtungsdicke wird nach einer bevorzugten Ausführungsvariante der Erfindung dadurch erreicht, dass der Aufnahmedorn zum Drehen des mindestens einen Werkstückes drehbar gelagert und angetrieben ist. Insbesondere durch ein Drehen des lanzenförmigen Aufnahmedorns mit dem mindestens einen Werkstück in der horizontalen ersten Arbeitsposition kann erreicht werden, dass beim Lackieren ein Fließen des aufgebrachten Lackes in Schwerkraftrichtung vermieden oder weitgehend unterbunden wird. Hierdurch können insbesondere beim Lackieren Lackschichten mit besonders gleichmäßiger Lackschichtdicke erreicht werden. Auch in der Härtungsstation in der vertikalen zweiten Arbeitsposition kann ein Drehen des Aufnahmedornes sinnvoll sein, um so eine gleichmäßige Bestrahlung aller Werkstückbereiche sicherzustellen. Der Aufnahmedorn ist als drehbar gelagerte Spindel ausgebildet. An jedem Aufnahmedorn oder jeder Halteeinheit kann ein Drehmotor vorgesehen sein.A particularly good painting and compensation of the influence of gravity on the coating thickness is achieved according to a preferred embodiment of the invention in that the receiving mandrel for rotating the at least one workpiece is rotatably mounted and driven. In particular by a Turning the lance-shaped receiving mandrel with the at least one workpiece in the horizontal first working position can be achieved that avoided during painting a flow of the applied paint in the direction of gravity or largely prevented. As a result, lacquer layers having a particularly uniform lacquer layer thickness can be achieved, in particular during painting. Even in the curing station in the vertical second working position, a rotation of the receiving mandrel may be useful so as to ensure a uniform irradiation of all workpiece areas. The mandrel is designed as a rotatably mounted spindle. On each mandrel or each holding unit may be provided a rotary motor.
Grundsätzlich kann als Fördereinrichtung jede geeignete Transporteinrichtung, insbesondere umlaufende Förderer, vorgesehen sein. Bevorzugt ist es nach einer Variante der Erfindung, dass die Fördereinrichtung einen Rundtakttisch aufweist, auf welchem mehrere Aufnahmedorne schwenkbar gelagert sind. Die Aufnahmedorne oder die Halteeinheiten für die Aufnahmedorne sind dabei entlang dem Umfang des Rundtakttisches gleichmäßig verteilt angeordnet. An den Rundtakttischen ist ein entsprechender Schwenkantrieb vorgesehen, mit welchen die Aufnahmedorne zwischen der horizontalen ersten Arbeitsposition und der vertikalen zweiten Arbeitsposition verschwenkbar sind. Der Schwenkantrieb kann dabei einen Elektromotor oder einen pneumatischen oder hydraulischen Stellzylinder aufweisen. Auch eine Verschwenkung mittels eines Kulissenmechanismus beim taktweisen Weiterdrehen des Rundtakttisches ist möglich. Die Bearbeitungsstationen sind gleichmäßig entlang des Umfangs am Rundtakttisch verteilt, so dass die Werkstücke bei jedem Taktschritt um eine Bearbeitungsstation weiter gefördert werden können.In principle, any suitable transport device, in particular revolving conveyors, can be provided as conveying device. According to a variant of the invention, it is preferred that the conveying device has a rotary indexing table on which a plurality of receiving mandrels are pivotably mounted. The receiving mandrels or the holding units for the receiving mandrels are arranged distributed uniformly along the circumference of the rotary indexing table. At the rotary indexing tables, a corresponding pivot drive is provided, with which the receiving mandrels between the horizontal first working position and the vertical second working position are pivotable. The rotary actuator can have an electric motor or a pneumatic or hydraulic actuating cylinder. A pivoting means of a sliding mechanism in the cyclic further rotation of the rotary indexing table is possible. The processing stations are distributed uniformly along the circumference of the rotary indexing table, so that the workpieces can be further promoted by a processing station at each clocking step.
Nach einer weiteren Ausführungsform der Erfindung ist es besonders vorteilhaft, dass entlang einer Förderbahn der Fördereinrichtung weitere Bearbeitungsstationen angeordnet sind, insbesondere eine Aufgabestation, eine Reinigungsstation, eine Beflammstation, eine lonisierstation und/oder eine Abnahmestation. Das Aufgeben der Werkstücke oder das Abnehmen der fertig lackierten und gehärteten Werkstücke kann manuell oder über einen automatischen Greifer erfolgen. In der Reinigungsstation kann ein Entfetten mittels Flüssigkeit oder ein Abblasen von Staubpartikeln erfolgen. In der Beflammstation kann eine weitere Säuberung auf thermische Weise unter Einfluss eines oder mehrerer Gasbrenner durchgeführt werden. In einer lonisierstation kann durch eine entsprechende Beaufschlagung des Werkstückes eine elektrische Aufladung abgebaut oder vermieden werden, so dass insbesondere Staubablagerungen unmittelbar vor dem Lackieren in der Lackierstation vermieden werden.According to a further embodiment of the invention, it is particularly advantageous that further processing stations are arranged along a conveying path of the conveying device, in particular a feeding station, a cleaning station, a flame station, an ionizing station and / or a removal station. The abandonment of the workpieces or the removal of the finished painted and hardened workpieces can be done manually or via an automatic gripper. In the cleaning station, degreasing by means of liquid or by blowing off dust particles can take place. In the Beflammstation can do another cleaning in a thermal way be carried out under the influence of one or more gas burners. In an ionizing station, an electrical charging can be reduced or avoided by an appropriate loading of the workpiece, so that in particular dust deposits are avoided immediately before painting in the painting station.
Eine bevorzugte Weiterbildung der Erfindung besteht darin, dass zumindest zwischen zwei aneinander angrenzenden Bearbeitungsstationen eine Luftschleuse angeordnet ist. Zwischen den einzelnen Stationen sind grundsätzlich Trennwände mit einer Durchgangsöffnung vorgesehen. Die Durchgangsöffnung ist entsprechend der jeweiligen Arbeitsposition des Aufnahmedorns beim Durchgang horizontal oder vertikal ausgerichtet. Um die einzelnen Bearbeitungsstationen voneinander abzuschotten, können entsprechende Zugangstüren und/oder vorzugsweise Luftschleusenkammern vorgesehen sein. Durch die Luftschleusenkammer kann etwa mit hoher Sicherheit gewährleistet werden, dass entweder keine staubhaltige Luft in die Lackierstation oder keine mit Lackpartikeln belastete Luft nach außen dringt. Die Luftschleusen können derart ausgebildet sein, dass diese gegenüber dem Druck in der Lackierstation einen gewissen Unterdruck oder Überdruck aufweisen. Dieser relative Druckunterschied kann entweder durch eine Druckeinstellung in der Lackierstation oder in der Luftschleuse bewirkt werden. Selbstverständlich können Luftschleusen auch zwischen anderen Bearbeitungsstationen vorgesehen werden, soweit dies erforderlich ist.A preferred development of the invention consists in that an air lock is arranged at least between two adjoining processing stations. Between the individual stations partition walls are provided with a through hole in principle. The passage opening is aligned horizontally or vertically according to the respective working position of the mandrel during the passage. In order to seal off the individual processing stations from each other, corresponding access doors and / or preferably air lock chambers can be provided. The airlock chamber can be used to ensure with high certainty that either no dust-laden air penetrates into the coating station or no air loaded with paint particles escapes to the outside. The air locks can be designed such that they have a certain negative pressure or overpressure compared to the pressure in the painting station. This relative pressure difference can be effected either by a pressure setting in the painting station or in the airlock. Of course, airlocks can also be provided between other processing stations, as far as necessary.
Das Schutzgas in der Härtungsstation kann entsprechend der aufgebrachten Beschichtung beziehungsweise dem Lack ausgewählt werden. Grundsätzlich sind Edelgase oder auch CO2 als Schutzgas möglich, wobei diese durch Erwärmung in ihrer Dichte so beeinflusst werden können, dass diese zur Verwendung in einer Schutzgasglocke leichter als die umgebende Luftatmosphäre sind.The protective gas in the curing station can be selected according to the applied coating or the paint. In principle, noble gases or CO 2 are possible as inert gas, which can be influenced by heating in their density so that they are lighter for use in a protective gas bell than the surrounding air atmosphere.
Besonders bevorzugt ist es nach der Erfindung jedoch, dass als Schutzgas Stickstoff vorgesehen ist. Dieses ist grundsätzlich leichter als die umgebende Luftatmosphäre. Zudem ist Stickstoff ein Hauptbestandteil der umgebenden Luftatmosphäre und stellt bei einem Austreten keine Verunreinigung dar. Zudem verflüchtigt sich Stickstoff nach oben zur Hallendecke und kann so anders als Kohlendioxid keine gefährlichen Konzentrationen in Bodennähe bilden. In der Schutzgasglocke ist vorzugsweise im Deckenbereich eine Zuführeinrichtung vorgesehen, mit welcher kontinuierlich oder diskontinuierlich neues Schutzgas zugeführt werden kann, um im Betrieb unvermeidliche Schutzgasverluste auszugleichen. Die Zuführeinrichtung ist vorzugsweise im Bereich der Bestrahlungseinrichtung derart angeordnet, dass das einströmende Schutzgas die Bestrahlungseinrichtung kühlt und gleichzeitig das Schutzgas schon vor Eintritt in die Schutzgasglocke aufgeheizt wird. Diese gezielte Erwärmung des Schutzgases reduziert zusätzlich Austrittsverluste durch die untere Zutrittsöffnung bei Einsatz einer Schutzgasglocke.However, it is particularly preferred according to the invention that nitrogen is provided as a protective gas. This is basically lighter than the surrounding air atmosphere. In addition, nitrogen is a major constituent of the surrounding air atmosphere and does not present an impurity when it exits. In addition, nitrogen volatilizes upwards to the hall ceiling and, unlike carbon dioxide, can not form dangerous concentrations near the bottom. In the protective gas bell is preferably provided in the ceiling area a feeder, with which continuously or discontinuously new protective gas can be supplied to compensate for unavoidable protective gas losses during operation. The feed device is preferably arranged in the region of the irradiation device such that the inflowing protective gas cools the irradiation device and at the same time the protective gas is heated even before it enters the protective gas bell. This targeted heating of the protective gas additionally reduces outlet losses through the lower access opening when using a protective gas bell.
Die eingangs genannte Aufgabe wird hinsichtlich des Verfahrens nach der Erfindung dadurch gelöst, dass der Aufnahmedorn zwischen einer horizontalen ersten Arbeitsposition und einer vertikalen zweiten Arbeitsposition verschwenkt wird, dass zum Lackieren in der Lackierstation der Aufnahmedorn mit dem mindestens einen Werkstück in die horizontale erste Arbeitsposition geschwenkt wird und dass zum Härten in der Härtungsstation der Aufnahmedorn mit dem mindestens einen Werkstück in die vertikale zweite Arbeitsposition geschwenkt wird.The object mentioned above is achieved with respect to the method according to the invention in that the mandrel is pivoted between a horizontal first working position and a vertical second working position that is pivoted for painting in the painting of the mandrel with the at least one workpiece in the horizontal first working position and in that, for hardening in the hardening station, the receiving mandrel with the at least one workpiece is pivoted into the vertical second working position.

An der Aufgabestation 30 werden die Aufnahmedorne 12 mit den Werkstücken 5 in einer vertikalen ersten Arbeitsposition aufgesteckt. In einem Förderschritt wird dann der Aufnahmedorn 12 in eine Reinigungsstation 32 weitergefördert. In der Reinigungsstation 32 werden die Werkstücke 5 von Verschmutzungen gereinigt, insbesondere entfettet. In einem weiteren Taktschritt kann dann der Aufnahmedorn 12 mit den gereinigten Werkstücken 5 zu einer Beflammstation 34 weiter verfahren werden. Es kann hier eine zusätzliche Aktivierung der Oberfläche durch Beflammen mittels eines Gasbrenners erfolgen. Anschließend erfolgt ein Weiterfördern zu einer lonisierstation 36, um elektrische Entladungen und damit statische Staubanhaftungen zu vermeiden.At the feeding
Anschließend wird der Aufnahmedorn 12 mit den Werkstücken 5 über eine kammerartige Luftschleuse 38 in die Lackierstation 40 weitergefördert. In der Reinigungsstation 32, der Beflammstation 34 und der lonisierstation 36 befindet sich der Aufnahmedorn 12 mit den Werkstücken 5 in der horizontalen zweiten Arbeitsposition, in welche der Aufnahmedorn 12 nach einem vertikalen Einfahren in die Reinigungsstation 32 durch einen entsprechenden Schwenkantrieb an der Halteeinheit 26 verschwenkt worden ist. Die einzelnen Stationen sind über Trennwände 19 voneinander abgetrennt. In den Trennwänden 19 sind Durchgangsöffnungen 28 zum Durchgang der Aufnahmedorne 12 mit den Werkstücken 5 vorgesehen. Entsprechend der horizontalen Ausrichtung der Aufnahmedorne 12 sind diese Durchgangsöffnungen 28 als im Wesentlichen horizontale Schlitze ausgebildet.Subsequently, the receiving
In der Lackierstation 40 werden die Werkstücke 5 an den Aufnahmedornen 12 in insgesamt zwei Taktschritten mit einem UV-aushärtbaren Lack beschichtet. Zur Lackbeschichtung ist ein Lackierroboter 42 in einem Aufnahmebereich 17 oberhalb des Rundtakttisches 22 fest angeordnet. Über eine Absaug- und Filtereinheit 44 in der Lackierstation 40 kann Sprühnebel beim Aufspritzen des Lackes abgesaugt und abgefiltert werden. Die horizontal angeordneten Aufnahmedorne 12 mit den Werkstücken 5 werden beim Lackieren um ihre Längsachse mittels eines Drehmotors gedreht. Nach einem Beschichten der Werkstücke 5 in der Lackierstation 40 werden die Aufnahmedorne 12 mit den Werkstücken 5 in eine zweite Luftschleuse 48 weitergefördert, welche wie die erste Luftschleuse 38 einen unerwünschten Austritt von mit Lackpartikeln belasteter Luft aus der Lackierstation 40 verhindert. Hierzu weist die kammerartige Lackierstation 40 relativ zu den beiden angrenzenden Luftschleusen 38, 48 einen gewissen Unterdruck auf.In the
In der angrenzenden Härtungsstation 50 werden die Aufnahmedorne 12 mit den Werkstücken 5 wieder von der horizontalen zweiten Arbeitsposition in die vertikale erste Arbeitsposition rückgeschwenkt, welche in
Der Innenraum der Schutzgasglocke 52 ist mit einem Schutzgas, insbesondere Stickstoff gefüllt. Beim Verfahren der Schutzgasglocke 52 von der oberen Zuführposition in die untere Härtungsposition verdrängt die eingeschlossene Schutzgasatmosphäre die Umgebungsluft um die Werkstücke 5 nach unten. Über eine nicht dargestellte Zuführung im Deckenbereich kann regelmäßig neues Schutzgas in die Schutzgasglocke 52 eingeleitet werden, um die im Betrieb nicht zu vermeidenden Schutzgasverluste durch die untere Zutrittsöffnung 53 zu kompensieren.The interior of the
Nach einer Aushärtung der Beschichtung der Werkstücke 5 wird die Schutzgasglocke 52 wieder nach oben gefahren, so dass dann der Aufnahmedorn 12 mit den Werkstücken 5 in der vertikalen Position durch einen vertikalen Durchgangsschlitz im Gehäuse 14 zur außen liegenden Abnahmestation 70 gefördert wird. Von dort kann der Aufnahmedorn 12 mit den Werkstücken 5 von der Halteeinheit 26 gelöst und an eine Abfördereinrichtung manuell übergeben werden.After hardening of the coating of the workpieces 5, the
