Classification: CPC B | IPC B

Claim 15:
16. A method for the application of a coating medium onto a component, comprising:
sensing an application distance between an application device and the component;
emitting a coating medium jet from the application device onto the component only when the application distance is less than a disintegration distance defined by the coating medium jet, the coating medium emitted from the coating medium jet having a continuous region in a jet direction until the coating medium is at the dis integration distance, whereupon, after the disintegration distance, the coating medium then disintegrates into droplets that are separate from one another in the jet direction;
the application device is moved relative to the component over the component surface, so that the impact point of the coating medium jet on the component surface moves along a strip;
during the travel along the strip on the component surface, the coating medium jet is switched off and then on again; and
the coating medium jet is moved so slowly over the component surface, and is switched on and off so rapidly, that a spatial resolution of finer than five millimeters is achieved on the component.
