Claim 5:
6. A coating device, comprising:
a head comprising a nozzle surface configured to discharge a coating material;
a wiping mechanism configured to wipe the nozzle surface;
an articulated arm configured to hold the head; and
a controller configured to control movement of the head via the articulated arm, wherein
the controller is configured to:
relatively move the head with respect to the wiping mechanism to wipe the nozzle surface, and
cause the articulated arm to be temporarily stationary before an operation of wiping the nozzle surface,

the wiping mechanism is a plurality of wiping mechanisms having different characteristics,
the plurality of wiping mechanisms comprises
a first wiping mechanism containing an affinity component having affinity for a nonvolatile component contained in the coating material,
a second wiping mechanism configured to wipe the affinity component, and
a third wiping mechanism facing the second wiping mechanism and configured to wipe the affinity component, wherein the first wiping mechanism is interposed between the third wiping mechanism and the second wiping mechanism.
