Benefits of technology

The technical effect of this patented technology described in this patents relates to improving methods for creating improved quality prints that are more durable than existing ones while maintain their accuracy over time. It involves optimizing certain parameters such as timing between printing and curling processes, adjustments made based upon factors like humidity levels, temperature settings, and other variables involved in processing techniques. Additionally, there has been developed various ways to enhance the properties of coatings through specific treatments. Overall, these improvements aim to provide better results for producing high-quality products.

Problems solved by technology

Technics described in this patents discuss how different types of coatings have been used during mulchage painted vehicles such as cars' exterior panels. These techniques involve applying colored films onto them before they go through various steps like sandblasting. To achieve high quality results, there must be very precise placement of the layers accurately without overlapping areas where other parts might appear too much. Existing methods require manual labor and cannot provide flexibility when creating complex designs. There is therefore a technical problem addressed in this paper called "Oversspiraling," specifically relates to reducing excessive material spills while still achieving desired levels of image detail and drawing capabilities.

Embodiment Construction

[0122] exist figure 1 The vehicle 1 is shown from the side, which is printed by the system 2 . The system has a base part 3 and a robot arm 4 (articulated arm robot) consisting of a plurality of movable elements and a printing head 5 arranged on the robot arm. The base can be rotatably and movably mounted so that the arm with the print head for printing can be moved to all parts of the vehicle. During printing, this print head is situated at a small distance from the surface of the vehicle and emits ink droplets 6 there which have sufficient momentum to reach the surface. The spacing may be approximately 1 cm.

[0123] The image 7 is printed on the vehicle 1 . The image can have different regions 7a and 7b. The regions can be distinguished, for example, by having different colors. The areas can also be differentiated in that one area is printed gridded (in halftone method) and another area is printed without gridding (in full tone method).

Abstract

#CMT# #/CMT# The method involves providing an image (7), and performing three-dimensional (3D) measuring process at a region. Space points are produced corresponding to the region. A 3D network is produced corresponding to the region. 3D web data is generated for moving a robot (4) i.e. hinged arm robot, for an inkjet printhead (5). Raster data i.e. 3D or higher-dimensional raster matrix data, is generated to control the inkjet printhead. The robot is moved using the web data. The image is printed with the inkjet printhead using the raster data. #CMT# : #/CMT# An independent claim is also included for a system for printing an image on an object, comprising a cleaning apparatus. #CMT#USE : #/CMT# Method for printing an image on a body i.e. tank, of an object i.e. vehicle (claimed) e.g. land vehicle such as passenger car, commercial vehicle i.e. lorry, water vehicle, air vehicle for transportation of goods and/or persons, and/or spacecraft and motorbike. Can also be used for a refrigerator, helmet of a motor cyclist, computer housing, furniture, toys or suitcase cover. #CMT#ADVANTAGE : #/CMT# The method enables reducing the 3D-position data to accelerate the generation of the 3D-network. The method allows printing arbitrary of images on arbitrary shaped surfaces of the object. #CMT#DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS : #/CMT# The drawing shows a schematic side view of a printing system with a hinged arm robot. 2 : Printing system 4 : Robot 5 : Inkjet printhead 6 : Droplet 7 : Image.
