Integrated in this new type of powder-coating machine is a new type of a chain-less power & free conveying system for a workpiece-transport facility that is fully computer controlled. When the colour or the powder type has to be changed, the same conveying system handles the automatic exchange of complete spray booths and reduces the powder-changeover time to the time it takes for the booth to travel between working position and magazine. Each booth is intended for a different powder coating material. All the elements that come into contact with a particular powder - i.e. spray chamber, recovery system, powder hopper, triboelectric spray guns (hand-held and/or for automatic) - are changed in less than three minutes without any time-consuming cleaning operation being necessary. Instead of using a conveying chain the transport track is divided into individual conveyor sections. Separate shuttles for the parts to be coated are moved along in a closed transport circuit that comprises longitudinal and cross-sliding travel. The roller-bearing-supported shuttles are driven along rails in each conveyor section by small electric motors. The drive system features a programmable controller, so that the speed, acceleration, retardation, and travel direction of each shuttle can be adjusted.
