20100198405 | MOVEMENT CONTROLLER FOR ELASTIC ROBOT STRUCTURES - The invention relates to a control method for a painting robot, comprising the following steps: (a) a robot path is set using several path points that are to be traversed by a reference point of the robot and are each defined by space coordinates; (b) the space coordinates of the individual path points are converted into corresponding axis coordinates according to inverse robot kinematics, said axis coordinates reproducing the position of the individual robot axes in the respective path points; (c) axis-related regulators for the individual robot axes are triggered according to the converted axis coordinates; (d) axis-related driving motors are triggered in the individual robot axes by means of the associated axis-related regulators; (e) corrective path values for the individual path points are calculated according to a dynamic robot model, said corrective path values taking into account the elasticity and/or friction and/or inertia of the robot; (f) corrected axis coordinates for the individual path points are calculated from the non-corrected axis coordinates of the individual path points and the corrective path values; (g) the axis-related regulators are triggered using the corrected axis coordinates. | 08-05-2010 |
20100211205 | METHOD FOR PROCESS DIAGNOSIS AND ROTARY ATOMIZER ARRANGEMENT - A rotary atomizer arrangement and methods for operating the same are disclosed. An exemplary atomizer may be used for the coating of work pieces, and may include a bell plate driven by an electric motor. The exemplary atomizer may further be configured for the detection of errors in the spraying process and/or the drive system of the bell plate, such as by analyzing corresponding parameters of typical values of the drive motor. | 08-19-2010 |
20100242991 | DUSTING METHOD AND CORRESPONDING DUSTING DEVICE - A dedusting device and method is disclosed for the dry or moist dedusting (i.e., cleaning, dusting, or removal of dirt, dust, or other debris) from components, e.g., of motor vehicles. An exemplary method may generally include positioning a dusting tool driven by a drive motor in a predetermined dusting position such that the tool contacts or touches the component, and determining a first operating variable of the drive motor of the dusting tool when positioning the dusting tool in the predetermined dusting position. The first operating variable may reflect a mechanical load of the drive motor due to the contact with the component to be dusted. The method may further include calculating a corrected dusting position as a function of the predetermined dusting position and the first operating variable of the drive motor, and positioning the dusting tool in the corrected dusting position. | 09-30-2010 |
20110045194 | ROBOT COMPRISING A CLEANING DEVICE AND ASSOCIATED OPERATING METHOD - Exemplary robots and corresponding exemplary operating methods for a painting system are disclosed. In one example, the robot is a handling robot for opening and closing doors or bonnets of motor vehicle bodies. A robot element of a handling robot that is susceptible to dirt retention, e.g., a handling tool, may be arranged away from the spray jet of a paint during the painting operation and is applied to the component that is to be painted. The robot may include a cleaning device for cleaning or for keeping the robot element of the handling robot that is susceptible to dirt retention clean from paint that is applied with spray jet in the painting operation. | 02-24-2011 |
20110159196 | COATING DEVICE AND COATING METHOD HAVING A CONSTANT DIRECTING AIR TEMPERATURE - Exemplary coating devices and methods are disclosed. An exemplary coating device may include an atomizer for applying a spray jet of a coating means or material to a component, at least one directing air nozzle for outputting shaping or directing air in order to shape the spray jet, and a temperature-control device for controlling the temperature of the directing air. The coating device may further include a control unit which activates the temperature-control device as a function of at least one operating variable of the atomizer in order to set a predetermined directing air temperature. | 06-30-2011 |
20120191243 | ROBOT ARRANGEMENT, IN PARTICULAR IN A PAINTING BOOTH - A robot arrangement, for example for a painting booth, and exemplary methods associated with the same, are disclosed. An exemplary robot arrangement may comprise a displacement rail, a plurality of robots, such as painting robots or handling robots, which can be displaced along the displacement rail, and a plurality of energy supply chains. The energy supply chains may supply one of the robots each, and may be associated with said robot, and each of the energy supply chains may run along the displacement rail in a particular track. The energy supply chains which are associated with the robots on the same displacement rail may run in discrete tracks. | 07-26-2012 |
