Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0796665A2] The method employs cartridges (2) of different colours arranged on a carousel (1), filled automatically at a replenishment station (4) and moved singly by a linear piston-cylinder unit (12) at a transfer station (10) to a spray coating robot, which slides (15) parallel to the workpiece conveyor and can be pivoted between a working position (14a) and a cartridge-changing position (14b). Preferably, the transferred cartridge (2') is inserted into a robot arm (16) while the latter is vertical. After use, it is returned to the transfer station and taken back to the replenishment station for reuse.
