    摘要: A coating device has a coating head that dispenses coating material toward a vehicle body. The coating device also includes a supply device that has a circulation path for circulating the coating material between a reservoir storing the coating material and the coating head, and is capable of controlling the pressure of the coating material flowing through the circulation path. The coating device includes an arm having the coating head and the supply device, wherein the coating robot performs coating of the vehicle body while moving the coating head wherein the coating head moves at a first speed toward a coating start position to start coating the vehicle and moves at a second speed different from the first speed when it reaches a specific position in a movement path to the coating start position.

    摘要: The present disclosure provides a painting robot and a painting method using the painting robot. The painting robot includes: an arm control unit which controls operation of the robot arm; a head control unit which controls driving of nozzles of the nozzle head; a distance measuring device which measures the distance between the painting portions and the nozzle discharging surface; and an image processing portion which forms a three-dimensional model for painting, which is a three-dimensional model, based on the painting coverage of the vehicle expected to be painted. The head control unit, based on the distances measured between the painting portions in the three-dimensional model for painting and an imaginary nozzle head or the distances measured by distance measuring device, controls to discharge paint from nozzles with distances within the prescribed range, and to not discharge paint from nozzles outside the prescribed range.

    摘要: Provided are a painting robot system that may perform painting well not only on a forward path but also on a backward path, and a painting method. An image processing portion (210) included in a painting robot system (11) creates image data for a forward path in a state of having first strip image data of a strip shape corresponding to nozzles (54A) in a first nozzle column (55A) and second strip image data of a strip shape corresponding to nozzles (54B) in a second nozzle column (55B), the image processing portion (210) creates the second strip image data as image data for a backward path in a state of deviating relative to the first strip image data, and the amount of position deviation is set as the following position: the Pth nozzle (54B) in the second nozzle column (54B) lands first relative to the Pth nozzle (54A) in the first nozzle column (54A) with an adjacent landing position at a distance of multiplying the number (N) by twice of the distance (L1).

    摘要: Provided are an ink-jet type vehicle coating machine and an ink-jet type vehicle coating method that enable formation of a uniform coating film thickness at a coating portion including an end of a vehicle. In a state where a longitudinal direction of a nozzle head 53 is orthogonal to a scanning direction, a first nozzle array 55A and a second nozzle array 55B are disposed such that droplets discharged from nozzles 54 of the second nozzle array 55B are discharged to intermediate portions between droplets discharged from nozzles 54 adjacent to each other in the first nozzle array 55A. In addition, on the basis of trajectory data for moving the nozzle head 53, attitude data for keeping the longitudinal direction of the nozzle head 53 perpendicular to a main scanning direction of the nozzle head 53 is formed. An arm control unit 110 controls a robot arm on the basis of the trajectory data and attitude data such that, in a state where the nozzle head 53 performs coating while moving in the main scanning direction, the longitudinal direction of the nozzle head 53 is kept perpendicular to the main scanning direction.
