PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an external charging type electrostatic coating gun with an external electrode which eliminates the danger and discomfort through discharging to fingers of operators due to the generation of coating attachment at the surface of an external electrode or the body side of an external charging type electrostatic coating gun. SOLUTION: In the external charging type electrostatic coating gun equipped with the charged electrode extended ahead at the outside of the atomization area of the electrostatic gun, which disposes at the center of the insulation electrostatic gun a nozzle to jet the coating at earth electric potential, an earth electrode which is comprised of a conductive material and which is connected with the earth electric potential is installed at the root surrounding of the external electrode body equipped with the charged electrode of the conductive material exposed to the distal end portion, in which the connection conductor is covered with the insulator. The earth electrode is connected with the earth member of the gun body through the conductive material. The earth member of the body includes the coating to be sent to the coating feeding path.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provided an electrostatic coating spray gun excellent in operability and employing low voltage system for improving safety and for more miniaturization, the spray gun having been demanded since there are many problems in which an electrically conductive coating material causes a problem when electrified directly, consequently an external electrode system of indirect electrification is generally used however such system brings about a practical problem in handleability and safety when miniaturized. SOLUTION: The electrostatic coating spray gun is constituted in such a way that an atomizer is arranged at the distal end of the spray gun to atomize the coating material discharged from a coating material nozzle arranged in the central part of the atomizer and the atomized coating material is applied to the objected to be coated while applying high-voltage static electricity to particles of the atomized coating material, wherein the potential of coating material side of the spray gun is set to be ground potential, a charging electrode as an external electrode is arranged on the outside surface or inside surface of an air cap and a compressed air flow passage is formed between a coating material jetting spout of the ground potential and the charging electrode. A discharge from the electrode to the coating material side (grounded side) is restrained in charging by compressed air, so that required potential is maintained, ionized discharging is efficiently performed and particles of the coating material are electrified. As a result, since a potential drop is prevented, the voltage necessary for electrifying particles of the coating material can be lowered. COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a teaching rod that, in a robot painting operation, can facilitate short-distance setting of a spraying distance when used to teach a painting robot to carry out short-distance painting with a spray gun, and prevent an anomaly, including breakage and falling of a painted object, damage to a conveyor, damage to the spray gun, a failure of the robot and breakage of the teaching rod, even if brought in contact with the painted object. SOLUTION: A holder to be attached to the tip of a spray gun for a robot painting operation is mounted with a rod-like flexible member pointed in the direction of the center of a spray pattern. The flexible member has the rod shape into which a band element of resin with projections formed at constant intervals on one side is bent so that the projections interdigitate.
