Method for controlling a surface coating installation
First Claim
1. A method of controlling a surface coating plant comprising at least one multiaxis machine (3, 4, 5), each axis being equipped with motor means, the or each machine being provided with equipment such as, for example, a spray (8) together with corresponding sensors and actuators, the method consisting:
- in characterizing the jets of treatment product, such as paint, for each of the equipment types such as spray and for each of the treatment product types, such as paint, and in storing these elements in a spray database, in characterizing the machine or machines (3, 4, 5) for applying treatment product, such as paint, and more particularly the kinematic axes of each machine, on joining these axes together, in recording the characteristics of a part (2) such as bodywork to be surface treated, and in automatically creating, from all the preceding elements, and from the thickness of treatment product desired at every point of the part (2) to be treated, the courses of each machine (3, 4, 5) for applying treatment product, such as paint.

Abstract
The invention concerns a method for controlling a surface coating installation comprising at least a multi-axial machine (3, 4, 5), each axis being equipped with motoring means, and the machine being provided with equipment such as a sprayer (8) and corresponding sensors and actuators. Said method consists in characterising the jets of treatment product, for each of the types of equipment, and in storing said data; in characterising the machines (3, 4, 5), more particularly their kinematic axes; in recording the characteristics of a component (2) to be treated; in automatically creating, on the basis of said elements, the trajectories of the machines taking into account the desired thickness of the treatment product. Said method enables the automatic generation of application files for painting motor vehicle bodies.
