Abstract
The present invention relates to a device 10 and a method for curtain-coating of panel-shaped components 60 as well as components which have been manufactured by such a method. The device comprises a device 40 for generating a liquid curtain 42 of coating material, an input transport device 20 and an output transport device 30, wherein the output transport device 30 and/or the input transport device 20 can be height-adjusted.
Claims26
Device for curtain-coating of panel-shaped components, comprising:
- a device for generating a liquid curtain of coating material;
- and
- an input transport device and an output transport device in order to guide the component to be coated through the curtain, wherein a gap is provided between the input transport device and the output transport device, through which surplus coating material may be led away;
- wherein the output transport device and/or the input transport device is height-adjustable and the device further comprises actuating means, which are adapted in that they carry out a relative height-adaption of the input transport device and the output transport device automatically during the coating operation depending on the position of the components to be coated.
Method for coating of panel-shaped components by means of a liquid curtain of coating material, comprising:
- providing a liquid curtain of coating material;
- and
- providing an input transport device and an output transport device in order to guide the components to be coated through the curtain, wherein a gap is provided between the input transport device and the output transport device, through which surplus coating material may be led away, wherein the components are transported by the input transport device through the curtain to the output transport device,
- wherein at least the inlet area of the output transport device is raised with respect to the input transport device and/or the outlet area of the input transport device is lowered with respect to the output transport device, prior the end section of the component to be coated leaves the input transport device, wherein by the height-adjusting of the input transport device and/or of the output transport device at least the inlet area of the output transport device is adjusted at a higher level than the outlet area of the input transport device.
