Claim 0:
1. A method for the application of a coating medium onto a component, comprising:
emitting a coating medium jet from an application device, wherein, after emerging from the application device, the coating medium jet has a continuous region in the jet direction until said jet reaches a disintegration distance, whereupon, after the disintegration distance, the coating medium jet then disintegrates into droplets that are separate from one another in the jet direction; and
positioning the application device at a specified application distance from the component so that the coating medium jet impacts on the component and coats the component;
wherein the application distance is smaller than the disintegration distance of the coating medium jet, so that the coating medium jet impacts on the component with its continuous region;
a plurality of coating medium jets that are directed to be substantially parallel to one another are emitted from the application device;
distances between directly adjacent coating medium jets are large enough such that the adjacent coating medium jets do not merge between the application device and the component; and
for emission of the coating medium jets, a plurality of application nozzles with a specified nozzle internal diameter and a specified nozzle spacing are provided, wherein the nozzle spacing is at least equal to three times the nozzle internal diameter.
