Path correction method for a coating system

Abstract

The disclosure relates to a path correction method for correcting paint tracks when coating a component (e.g., motor vehicle body component) with a coating agent (e.g., paint). The path correction method includes: Defining a reference path, applying a first paint track of the coating agent to the component, where the first paint track and the reference path run adjacent to one another and ideally adjoin one another without a path error at a seam, determining the interfering path error at the seam between the first paint track and the adjacent reference path, and determining path correction values for correcting the course of the first paint track in a subsequent coating operation, the path correction values being determined as a function of the path error. Furthermore, the disclosure comprises a corresponding coating method and a correspondingly adapted coating system.
