Abstract
First and second robots function to hold first and second nozzles, respectively, which are supplied with respective fluid coating materials. The robots move the nozzles along respective different paths over a surface to which the fluid coating materials are to be applied. The fluid coating materials are uniformly and efficiently applied over the surface, without any irregularities, using the combination of nozzles and robots. In addition, the first robot has a nozzle transfer function to hold the second nozzle as well. As a result, the first robot may hold both nozzles for application of the coating materials.
Claims3
A device for applying a fluid, comprising:
- at least a first robot and a second robot;
- and at least
- a first nozzle and a second nozzle for receiving respective fluid coating materials;
- said first robot and said second robot being constructed and arranged to hold independently the first nozzle and the second nozzle, respectively, and to move the respective nozzles along different paths over a surface to which the fluid coating materials are applied;
- wherein said first robot is further constructed and arranged to hold both said first nozzle and said second nozzle simultaneously.
