Abstract
Embodiments of the present technology may include a system for coating surfaces. The system can include a rotatable nozzle. The rotatable nozzle can include a plurality of output ports. The plurality of output ports can dispense liquid material on surfaces. The system can also include a housing enclosure. The housing enclosure can include a motor. The motor can rotate the rotatable nozzle. The housing enclosure can also include a solid straight pipe passing through the motor. The solid straight pipe can continuously provide the liquid material to the rotatable nozzle concurrently with rotational action.
Claims20
A system for applying liquid materials concurrently with rotational action, the system comprising:
- a rotatable nozzle comprising a plurality of output ports configured to dispense liquid material on surfaces;
- and
- a housing enclosure comprising:
- a motor configured to rotate the rotatable nozzle;
- and
- a solid straight pipe passing through the motor configured to continuously provide the liquid material to the rotatable nozzle concurrently with rotational action.
A system comprising:
- a robot arm system comprising:
- a manipulator configured to move a coating end-effector to a predetermined location for performing an operation relative to a specified surface;
- at least one coating end-effector comprising:
- a rotational nozzle comprising a plurality of output ports configured to dispense liquid material on surfaces;
- and
- a housing enclosure comprising:
- a motor configured to rotate the rotatable nozzle;
- and
- a solid straight pipe passing through the motor configured to continuously provide the liquid material to the rotatable nozzle concurrently with rotational action.
A method for performing an operation on a specified surface with a Cobot system, the method comprising:
- localizing the specified surface on a workpiece;
- aligning a rotational nozzle of a coating end-effector with the specified surface;
- advancing the rotational nozzle of the coating end-effector towards the specified surface;
- and
- providing the specified surface with liquid material using the rotational nozzle of the coating end-effector while continuously providing liquid material to the rotational nozzle.
