Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an electrostatic coating device and a grounding condition inspection method, wherein the grounding condition can be inspected in a short period of time without using a dedicated device for inspecting the grounding condition.SOLUTION: The electrostatic coating device 1 includes: a coating gun 3 spraying paint to an object 2; a robot arm 4 displaceably supporting the coating gun 3; and a high-voltage generating device 9 generating high voltage to be applied to the coating gun 3 and adjusting the generated high voltage in such a manner that a discharge current generated between the coating gun 3 and the object 2 is detected. While paint is not sprayed toward the object 2 by the coating gun 3, an electric field is formed from the coating gun 3 toward the object 2 to charge the object 2 with electric charge, and, while high voltage is not applied to the coating gun 3 by the high-voltage generating device 9, the high-voltage generating device 9 is used to detect the discharge current generated between the coating gun 3 and the object 2 on the basis of the electric charge that is charged on the object 2.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an electrostatic atomizing apparatus in which an object, such as an article stored in a mist-receiving space or an inner wall is hardly electrostatically charged. SOLUTION: The electrostatic atomizing apparatus is provided with an atomizing electrode 2, a counter electrode 3, a water supply means 15 for supplying water to the atomizing electrode 2 and a high voltage applying section 9 for applying high voltage between the atomizing electrode 2 and the counter electrode 3 so as to electrostatically atomize water to be supplied to the atomizing electrode 2 by applying the high voltage between the atomizing electrode 2 and the counter electrode 3. When voltage is applied to give a prescribed potential difference between the atomizing electrode 2 and the counter electrode 3 to electrostatically atomize the water supplied to the atomizing electrode 2, the potential of the atomizing electrode 2 side is set to ground potential or potential nearer to the ground potential than that of the counter electrode 3 side.

Abstract:
A surgical spray instrument (1) is disclosed comprising a main body (2) connectable to a transfer tube (3); a propellant actuator (7) for selectively releasing propellant (4) from the main body and along the transfer tube and out through a distal end (3b) thereof. An ion emitter (8) is arranged along the tube, the ion emitter having an ion emission zone (9). This enables the directed and concentrated delivery of therapeutic, pharmacological and diagnostic agents to tissues inside or outside of the body. There is further disclosed a surgical assembly (24) for enabling uniform deposition of a particulate material to a surface of an intracorporeal cavity of a patient. The surgical assembly comprises an ion emitter (25); a dispenser (27) having an outlet (28) locatable within the cavity and for dispensing the particulate material therefrom, and a processor (30) for determining a location of the ion emission zone (26) of the ion emitter in dependence upon the position of the outlet of the distributor within the cavity to provide for the uniform deposition.
Abstract:
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zur Halterung von Bauteilen (40), insbesondere bei Beschichtungs- und/oder Bearbeitungsvorgängen, die auch für automatisierte Prozesse eingesetzt werden kann. Die Vorrichtung umfasst einen rechteckigen Tragrahmen (20), auf dem ein oder mehrere Traversen (30, 30') lösbar gelagert sind. Die Traversen (30) halten die Bauteile (40). Durch die vorbestimmte Anordnung der Traversen (30), beispielsweise in einem bestimmten Abstand (A) zu einer Querseite (23) des Tragrahmens (20), ist eine gezielte und selektive Bearbeitung und Beschichtung der Bauteile (40) möglich.
