- Coating agent is directed in a targeted manner away from the motor vehicle body component 20 and/or the motor vehicle body, so that z. B. in the case of drop formation, the motor vehicle body component 20 and/or the motor vehicle body is not contaminated, and/or
- the gripping arm section C and the second deflection section 14 can be positioned flat behind the motor vehicle body (e.g. flatter than in DE 10 2018 105041 A1).
- FIG. 3 shows the handling device 1 of FIG. B. as disclosed in DE 102018 105041 A1.
- FIG. 3 shows the gripping arm 10 in a cleaning position, in which the gripping tool 12 and preferably the second deflection section 14 are arranged within the cleaning device 40 in order to be cleaned by the cleaning device 40 .
- the gripping arm section B can in particular be aligned substantially perpendicularly to the florizontal.
- the cleaning in the cleaning device 40 takes place in that, in particular, the gripping tool 12, the second deflection section 14 and the optional gripping arm section C are acted upon, for example, with detergent and/or pulsed air.
- the invention is not limited to the preferred embodiments described above. Rather, the invention also includes variations and modifications that also make use of the inventive idea and therefore fall within the scope of protection.
- the invention also claims protection for the subject matter and the features of the subclaims independently of the claims referred to in each case and in particular also without the features of the main claim. The invention thus comprises various aspects of the invention, which enjoy protection independently of one another.
- motor vehicle body component e.g. B. door, hood or flap
