System for the application of a coating film and method

Abstract

A system is proposed for the application of a coating film to a surface of a component to be painted, which system is suitable in particular for semi-automatic or fully automatic application of the coating film. The system comprises a framework in which the coating film can be fixed and which is used to position the coating film over the surface to be painted. Furthermore, the system comprises at least one application means, for example a squeegee, with which a contact pressure is exerted on the coating film during application. Furthermore, the system comprises two rails along which the at least one application means can be moved. Furthermore, the system comprises a device for fixing the coating film in the framework. Furthermore, the system comprises means for positioning and/or fixing the framework to the component. Furthermore, the invention provides a method for applying a coating film to a surface of a component using said system.
