Automatically controlled paint spray equipment - includes height adjustment and synchronised movement of spray gun and sprayed article

摘要

Apparatus for paint spraying an article such as a chair, includes a system for raising and lowering and also rotating the article, and including a drive motor. The supports can be adjusted to match the centre of inertia of the article, and can be mounted on a grid beam. The article can be supported from below. At the same time, the spray gun can be raised and lowered between guides and the gun can be rotated. The movements of the article and the spray gun can be controlled and synchronised by a programmed control system. The gun can be supported by an arm connected to a joint for attachment to parallel arms. These may be carried in turn by a chain travelling around two pulleys, one driven by a motor.
