Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0983798A2] The paint supply system for a coating assembly, especially the paint shop for mass produced vehicle bodywork components, has a turntable (10). At least two filled paint containers (A,B) are connected selectively to a spray unit (5), carried from a supply point (23) to a transfer point (8). A take-off point (7) at the transfer station (8) gives the spray unit (5) a linear movement. The directions of the linear movements of both paint containers (A, B) between the transfer points and the take-off (7) forms an angle between them through their path intersection so that, when a container is taken, it is replaced immediately with a full container. The turntable (10) is mounted to a paint robot along a movement axis, to be carried with it. The system is operated by a self-learning control.
