    Abstract: A method of determining a characteristic of a fluid in an apparatus for applying a coating medium to an object, the apparatus including a fluid line; an outlet; a first coating medium source; a second coating medium source; a cleaning medium source; and a valve arrangement configured to independently bring each of the first coating medium source, the second coating medium source and the cleaning medium source in communication with the outlet through the fluid line; where the method includes conducting a fluid through the fluid line, the fluid including the first coating medium, the second coating medium and/or the cleaning medium; sending ultrasonic waves to the fluid in the fluid line; sensing echo signals induced in the fluid by the ultrasonic waves; converting the echo signals to electronic response data; and determining a parameter value of at least one parameter of the fluid in the fluid line based on the electronic response data.

    Abstract: A method of applying coating medium to a surface of an object, the method including applying coating medium to an inner region of the surface such that the coating medium on the inner region has an inner thickness; and applying coating medium to an outer region of the surface, adjacent to the inner region, to form an edge of the coating medium at a side of the outer region opposite to the inner region and such that the coating medium on the outer region has an outer thickness, wherein a minimum value of the outer thickness is 30% to 80% of the inner thickness, and wherein a maximum 10 value of the outer thickness is equal to or less than the inner thickness. A control system for controlling application of coating medium and a coating system for applying coating medium are also provided.

    Abstract: A method of printing an image onto a surface using a printhead carried by a robot arm, including: obtaining an image which exceeds the predetermined print width of the printhead; splitting the image into at least two image strips, each contained within a reduced print width which is less than the predetermined print width, and generating associated printhead paths; detecting a deviation from the printhead paths when the robot arm is fed with a first control signal in a dry run; modifying the image strips to compensate the detected deviation by applying a local lateral shift; and printing the modified image strips onto the surface while the robot arm is fed with a control signal that is equivalent to the first control signal.
