Abstract
An apparatus for surface treatment of a workpiece in a production line comprises a positioning frame (1) for the workpiece to be treated. The positioning frame has a coupling (3) for a positioning drive (4). In order to achieve an increase in the production cadence irrespective of the type of surface treatment without having to accept losses with regard to the surface quality of the coating, a hermetically sealable capsule (2) is supported against the positioning frame (1), which capsule (2) has connection lines (5) for the exchange of operating media with different operating medium supply units (6) arranged along the production line.
Claims16
An apparatus for a surface treatment of a workpiece in a production line, said apparatus comprising:
- a positioning frame that has a first coupling connected with a positioning drive and a capsule that is hermetically sealable supported against the positioning frame so as to provide a sealed interior;
- wherein said workpiece is arranged on the positioning frame in the sealed interior of the capsule;
- wherein said positioning drive conveys the positioning frame with the capsule supported against the positioning frame;
- said workpiece on the positioning frame being moved by the positioning drive;
- and
- wherein the capsule has connection lines communicating with the sealed interior and exchanging operating media with different operating medium supply units arranged along the production line, and supplying said operating media to the sealed interior of the capsule.
An apparatus providing a surface treatment of a workpiece in a production line, said apparatus comprising:
- a capsule that is hermetically sealable;
- said capsule receiving the workpiece therein;
- a positioning frame supporting the capsule thereon so as to provide a sealed interior;
- the positioning frame having a first coupling connected therewith and a positioning drive positioning the positioning frame and the capsule;
- a plurality of operating medium supply units arranged along the production line each having a respective operating medium therein;
- and
- wherein the capsule has connection lines communicating with the sealed interior and exchanging operating media with each of the operating medium supply units as the positioning frame is positioned so as to connect with the respective operating medium supply unit, said connection lines supplying the operating media of connected operating medium supply units to the sealed interior of the capsule.
