Powder Coating Painting Apparatus With Universal Modular Line Control

US Patent:
6120604, Sep 19, 2000
Filed:
Aug 5, 1997
Appl. No.:
8/906522
Inventors:
Brian Thomas Hawkins - Martinsville NJ
Assignee:
George Koch Sons, Inc. - Evansville IN
International Classification:
B05C 500
US Classification:
118676
Abstract:
A conveyor system for transporting parts through a plurality of processing areas. The conveyor system comprises a plurality of conveyors, each of the conveyors for transporting parts through an associated one of the processing areas. Each of the conveyors are driven by a motor. Each of a plurality of sensors are associated with one of the plurality of processing areas. Each of a plurality of control interfaces are associated with a device in one of the plurality of processing areas. Each of a plurality of control circuits are associated with one of the plurality of processing areas and coupled to corresponding sensors and corresponding interfaces. At least one operator interface is coupled to the plurality of control circuits. Wherein, the operator interface can modularly control and monitor devices within the plurality of processing areas.

Power Coating Painting Apparatus With Conveyor Synchronization And Anti-Jamming Means

US Patent:
5960930, Oct 5, 1999
Filed:
Jun 23, 1997
Appl. No.:
8/880733
Inventors:
Brian Thomas Hawkins - Martinsville NJ
Assignee:
George Koch Sons, Inc. - Evansville IN
International Classification:
B65G 3700
US Classification:
198577
Abstract:
A conveyor system for transporting parts through a plurality of processing areas. The conveyor system has a plurality of motor driven conveyors, each of the conveyors for transporting parts through an associated one of the processing areas. Digital motor shaft encoders are provided for monitoring the speed of the conveyor motors. Motor speed controllers are electrically coupled to the encoders and are responsive thereto, for regulating the speed of the conveyors thereby synchronizing the speed among all of the conveyors. A computer is electrically coupled to one of the motor speed controllers for providing a predetermined conveyor system speed set point. Part detectors are electrically coupled to the computer, for verifying each part's progress along each of the conveyors thereby enabling the computer to track the movement of each part transported along the conveyor system to detect part to part collisions.
